Chase asked me to come over.
He said it’s a good day for a swim.
I told him that I don’t like to swim.
Then he said that he had beer too.
I told him that I’d stop by.
When I got there he said,
“Look, Lou, isn’t this nice?”
He pointed at the palms,
and up at the blue sky.
I said, “yeah, I guess.”
Then I grabbed a beer
and sat down in the sunshine.
Maybe this is paradise, I thought.
But then my beer got warm,
and my skin turned red,
and I had to go back inside.
Chase asked where I was going.
I told him that I had to take a shit.
He said, “ok.”
“Thanks for the beer,” I said,
and then I got in my car and left.
I don’t believe in paradise.
Lou…two words… Sun Screen!!!
Fuck paradise….but buy sunscreen LOL!!!

Paradise exists only in the mind…it’s not a place. It’s a state of being.

I feel ya man. My paradise is in the dark with my drumset and the music blasting full volume. If I went outside I’d probably have to be quiet….

I can understand.. “Paradise” is a concept that I have been struggling with, actually… I tend to idealize situation all the time, and I always have to stop and remind myself that “paradise” doesn’t exist, there are no black and white situations, things are always grey…
