    "But I can say, for the most part, just enjoy what you got right here right now. Someone gonna come round the corner and hit you in the face with a pot. Yeah. You ain't gonna survive in this world if you just do the things that people say that you can do."

    "Tell me that I think that this world is a world, but its not, cuz its more than you think, and its less than that, and we're only living in the memories of our future selves, and its fun to think like we're here right now, but we never really are cuz we're somewhere in the future controlling the options, giving lots of hints to ourselves, in order for us to understand that choice is still important in a world where you gotta figure some stuff out yeah! baby I love ya, i love ya baby" - R. Watts

    My favorite thing about Reggie Watts is that he does things that are done deliberately, and can seem random, and he cane do things randomly that can seem deliberate. quite cool.

Reggie Watts =/= Pre-fab TopPopChart DoublePlatinum MegaHits of the Week Reggie Watts =/= genre, category, or pigeonhole Reggie Watts is incomparable to anyone or anything else you'll ever experience.

    If it were meaningless, no meaning could be extracted from it, yet you managed to find the intentional meaning, precisely showing Watts' versatility, when it comes to being creative. I guess you don't get such meaningless concepts like "irony" either, huh?

    You say he's incomparable? You just listed a bunch of people that are similar in this or that aspect... Each and all of those acts are similar in this or that aspect to him, but are still their own act. But yeah, he's cool like them. A bit more on topic: your unintentionally meaningless praise of him sort'f shows how awesome his stream of consciousness is.
