Art for Art's sake

[rowens]

I believe in family. And I believe in beautiful women. My family have told me not to write about them. Beautiful women, well, they don't talk to me, but other people tell me that it's not a good idea to write about women. . . . I've also been told not to write about mental illness. And I said, Wait a minute, aint I supposed to be mentally ill myself? . . . But apparently I have to consider other mentally ill people's feelings. . . . So I apologize in advance, apparently I'm only allowed to write about myself. No, scratch that, a man told me Saturday that he was offended by me writing about myself.

And no, I don't believe in family. But I don't really have a choice in the matter.

Somebody told me today that I should stop writing the silly stuff I write about and write about something serious that people can agree on, like the environment.
