| I cut off the cuffs of my dress shirt from Catholic school, wrote the Choose Life quote from Trainspotting on the left: Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday night. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life
...and two Eternal Sunshine quotes on the right: How happy is the blameless vestal's lot?
The world forgetting by the world forgot
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Each prayer accepted and each wish resigned
and on the inside:
Blessed are the forgetful
For they get the better even of their blunders
Now they're relics of my 14th-17th years, the ink's turned to a rusty-yellow colour and it's barely visible on the Choose Life one.
