If you can't be famous, be infamous. I focus on violence only
  when it bothers somebody I know. Then I learn about it. On my
  own? i don't care much for it and focus on the hands at the ends
  of my arms. The feet at the end of my legs. The universe I'm
  bringing into my head via my eyes and ears, such as they are.
  But I'm introspective by nature, so, that's usually where my
  focus is. If violence bothers someone I know, I try to redirect
  them to things that can do stuff about, in their own world. News
  is never good news. Shit we can't do anything about takes focus
  away from what we can do things about.
