from the book monkey by: wu cheng'en which is a book about battling demons. 

i hatch no plot, i scheme no scheme;
fame and shame are one to me,
a simple life prolongs my days.

which pretty much means don't try so hard!  and maybe watch out for life.  and maybe: note to self - no expectations in 2010.  NONE!!   

it's a quarter after one and i'm a little drunk and i need you now..."

a pic of pic and i.  pick is being super cute!  i <3 the pick.
