I really want some meaning. It used to be easy to toss it off. Now it\'s harder and harder. You have to navigate just to find something that has nourishment. It\'s the absence of nourishment. What do you do in place of nourishment? It\'s usually junk. Either it\'s junk food or junk clothes or junk ideas.
