“The greatest respect that writers can give their readers is to not write anything that they expect.” That’s what Goethe said. He also said this, “whether it’s a manmade or natural piece of work, we have to pay special attention to its original intent.”That guy says some good things. Who would’ve thought that I would quit being a cop and become a bounty hunter? All my friends are surprised, saying, “You totally betrayed my expectations.”
That’s fine. I want to do something that nobody else would think of. Seeing things you’ve never seen, hearing stories you never heard; my comrades enjoy it quite a bit.

First time I’ve seen this was two days ago. I can’t find the proper Goethe quote, but it’s good enough. I guess I want to respect my friends enough to keep doing something that they don’t expect. To challenge myself to be different, to be better.
