If you’re going to try, go all the way.

otherwise, don’t even start.

if you’re going to try, go all the way.

this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.

go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your endurance,

of how much you really want todo it.
and you’ll do it despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than anything else you can imagine.

if you’re going to try, go all the way.
there is no other feeling like that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with fire.

do it, do it, do it.
do it.

all the way
all the way.
you will ride life straight to perfect laughter,
it’s the only good fight there is.

Roll the Dice

Tnanks a million mister Zorg, for sayig the words (even if they're not really yours) that I needed tonight.
How long will I keep on going all he way ? I try my best, feel like i'm getting better but human nature desperates me as much as it thrills me. Tonight in Bucarest, I'm delighted but last night I was crying so much.
Love you, take care Mr Zorg and will you give some news sometimes, for god's sake ! I'm happy to hear that you fuck like hell but god how are YOU doing ???
(and yes, I'm so fucking emotional tonight)
