It’s not philosophy, but…Beer is the mindkiller. Beer is the little death that brings total oblivion. I will face my beer. I will permit it to wash over me and through me and when it is gone I will turn the little eye to see it’s path.When the beer is gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
