"And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah"
-Leonard Cohen
"Wipe thine ass with what is written and grin like a ninny at what is Spoken. Take thine refuge with thine wine in the Nothing behind Everything, as you hurry along the Path."
-the purple sage
"Be the change you want to see in the world."
-that little brown guy
The world breaks everyone, and many are strong at the broken places. Those that will not break, it kills. It kills the very good and the very brave and the very bold, indifferently. If you are none of these, it will kill you too, but there will be no particular hurry.
-Hemingway
"To laugh at oneself as one would have to laugh in order to laugh out of the whole truth—to do that even the best so far lacked sufficient sense for the truth, and the most gifted had too little genius for that! Even laughter may yet have a future!"
-Friedrich Nietzsche
"The goodness is in the laughing itself. I grok it is a bravery . . . and a sharing… against pain and sorrow and defeat."
-Valentine Michael Smith
Who I'd like to meet:
I would like to spend time with someone spirited, sexy, good looking and sanitary, unique, creative, ready to laugh, and ready to make me laugh, who can speak in complete sentences (in English) and who likes to make and hold eye contact.
if you want to talk any further tonighte, it will have to be on the phone, but i wont be home for about an hour. if youde like to talk, ill be there for sure at 1025 pm
my leg has been asleep since i woke up this morning, it might have been the rum, or that i slept on it wrong, but you'd think it would be tingley right?
So I was browssing teh interbutts as always, and came across this lovely photo. Even *I* understood it, but being the math nerd you are, I knew you'd appreciate it:
You, sir, should give me your number again so I can call you sometime early next week. I'd call you now, but I'm out of town and my phone doesn't have coverage here. At any rate, I demand said number again : )
