I was just thinking about what an excellent group of human beings you are. Smart, loyal, fun (and funny), creative and interesting and talented - even if I don't know you well or talk to you often, I am glad to have entered your lives even briefly. Seriously. You are goddamned TOP SHELF.
So, you know, just know that a girl in Chicago thinks the world of you.

Because when it does - when the world and life and the way things are make sense - then you know there's really something wrong with you. Murder shouldn't make sense and neither should car wrecks and bombings and loneliness and cancer and diabetes and television. But usually they don't bother me that much, he said. I usually don't think about them. All I usually think about is: I feel good. Or I feel bad ... if I scored, he said, and I'm feeling good, then: It is well."

jess [email] said at 3:16 PM 10-31-2005: Brian is not just smart but extremely good at applying what he does. I actually think he may be some sort of rebel genius.
