secretly, when i talk to people other than carl:
"and there's always an innate sadness in art. it seems like true artists are faded and drunk, while the successful ones only care about being better than you. art slowly being defined as something, when the true nature of art is its absolute trait of being UNDEFINABLE!"

and after i smoke a joint i'll call him up and say something like
"hey buddy! let's go fuckin watch some cartoons man!"
