Cryptic, the messenger receives his holy ordinance – holy meaning holy moly – there’s something to believe in, if you have the time to go for it, but I think your schedule might be actually too tight. You know, you have to get up and get ready and then go to work and then deal with that neurosis and the accompanying dilemma of who you are and what you are and if the people there are cool with you and how much you ought to compromise your soul and all of that – in other words, just some more neurosis – and then you have to take your breaks and have your lunch and make sure that you get back in time and you don’t fuck up too much, and then when you are done your day, you come home and have some dinner and then get ready for your Holy Quest? – gee, I don’t know – it’s hard to be a superhero when you’re working 9 to 5 – but everybody’s got to work, right? – I mean saving people from the big bad meanies doesn’t help towards your 401K, you know what I’m saying? I mean sure there is a little bit of glory in it sometimes, and it is very much a satisfying kind of work knowing that you’re doing your bit to help improve the world and all and fight injustice and all of that, and the looks on people’s faces when you save them is rewarding and sure people are ingratiating although ethics of course does dictate that you don’t take advantage of that either, even when they offer you free stuff, it’s just not right, you know – so it’s a hard knock life, I guess I’m saying and so it really isn’t all that great to be part of the avenging angels against evil really – I mean at the end of the day it’s hard not to just wish that you could you know just sleep in and hang around and watch cartoons and eat candy cereal, you know?
It’s a tough life, but someone’s got to live it.
