Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Can you remind me (again) that I can do this therapy thing, and send some general ~ma in my direction?

You have changed, like night and day, since I first met you all those years ago at Fiona's corporate apartment.

Night. And. Day.

I know you can do it. I've watched you push on for years. It's epic and inspiring and you are a strong strong man to keep fighting to have a good good life instead of letting your spirit whither alone.

Do I have to call and sing you all of The Black Parade ? I'll do it. You have no idea just how much I am the do-that girl on this one. Be warned, Scola, be warned...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I know you can do it because you ARE doing it. Your growth and courage have been inspiring things to see. Not easy for you--but still with tangible results.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Tom, you're one of the strongest people I know for all you've done already. You can do this.

Also, everything Trudy said, except for the corporate apartment part.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tom, you're an inspiration. You have the strength. Don't second guess yourself or let fear tell you different.

Sing with me, amych!

WHEN I WAS
A YOUNG BOY...

Scola, do you need my "Get Through This" mix? It's still in the making, but...

The status is NOT quo.

Tom, you can absolutely do this. You are an amazing man who has overcome so much.

Jilli, great interview!

ION, my favorite quote of today came when one of my students was trying to sketch a picture of the Greek god Hades for her mask-making project: "Ms. T? I'm trying to draw Hades, but he kind of looks like Jesus."

DO OR DIE
YOU'LL NEVER MAKE ME
BECAUSE THE WORLD,
WILL NEVER TAKE MY HEART
GO AND TRY,
YOU'LL NEVER BREAK ME
WE WANT IT ALL,
WE WANT TO PLAY THIS PART

I WON'T EXPLAIN
OR SAY I'M SORRY
I'M UNASHAMED
I'M GONNA SHOW MY SCAR
GIVE A CHEER
FOR ALL THE BROKEN
LISTEN HERE
BECAUSE IT'S WHO WE ARE

I'M JUST A MAN,
I'M NOT A HERO
JUST A BOY, WHO HAD TO SING THIS SONG
I'M JUST A MAN,
I'M NOT A HERO
I DON'T CARE

WE'LL CARRY ON
WE'LL CARRY ON

ION, my favorite quote of today came when one of my students was trying to sketch a picture of the Greek god Hades for her mask-making project: "Ms. Taylor? I'm trying to draw Hades, but he kind of looks like Jesus."

Did you say, "Yeah, my Boyfriend does that too... it doesn't mean anything. Trust me."?

Because that would be funny as shit.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

You can do it, Tom. You are doing it. I'm sorry it's such a long wearing grind. But, yes, absolutely. You can and will and you've already done so much.
