“It’s best to keep America just like that, always in the background, a sort of picture post card which you look at in a weak moment. Like that, you imagine it’s always there waiting for you, unchanged, unspoiled, a big patriotic open space with cows and sheep and tenderhearted men ready to bugger everything in sight, man, woman or beast. It doesn’t exist, America. It’s a name you give to an abstract idea.”

Henry Miller

Circle K on the way to the Garden of the Gods

Stuart Wilf was a specialist in the Army. Now he works at a Circle K–behind bulletproof glass thicker than what was in his Humvee.

Wilf plays guitar in a Death Metal band.

5 years ago, Wilf was in Time Magazine’s Person of the Year edition.

I’ve got 5 months and 13 day’s left in the Army, then I’m off to be a rockstar. Forget college. Forget jobs. Forget growing up, I’m GOING to be a rockstar. That’s about all I can think of right now.

These colors don’t run.
