John Darnielle
There are real teachers out there I don't pretend to have their mantle.
John Darnielle
People say friends don't destroy one another. What do they know about friends?
John Darnielle
People will complain that they don't want to wait around for lightning to strike, but why not? If you invest yourself in chance, the potential for disappointment is pretty low.
