We're so lucky we're still alive to see this beautiful world. Look at the sky. It's not dark and black and without character. The black is in fact deep blue. And over there! Lighter blue. And blowing through the blueness and the blackness, the winds swirling through the air. And there shining, burning, bursting through, the stars! Can you see how they roll their light? Everywhere we look, complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes!

What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere.

You know you're not really Peter Pan, don't you? This is only a dream. When you wake up, you'll just be Peter Banning, a cold, selfish man who drinks too much, who's obsessed with success, and runs and hides from his wife and children! 

Jean is shorter than Brutus but taller than Imhotep. Imhotep is taller than Jean, but shorter than Lord Scotland. Lord Scotland is twice the height of Jean and Brutus combined but only one-tenth of the height of Millsy. Millsy is at a constant height of x − y. If Jean stands exactly one nautical mile away from Lord Scotland, how tall is Imhotep?

Lux Aurumque

Light
Warm and heavy
Pure as gold
And the angels sing softly
To the newborn babe

Edward Esch

"I think that the film CLUELESS was very deep.  I think that it was deep in the way that it was very light.  I think that lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness."

My junk flaps around like a sail.  I like to pretend my penis is an
eagle, flying free over the mountains of this great nation.

I'd like to take this time to remember all of our brothers and sisters whose lives were lost in the tragic accident at the box factory over the weekend. May you rest in pieces, THIS SIDE UP.

Sniper was a gentle dog, an understanding companion that was reliable and generous.  On most Christian holidays, I remember Sniper pulling out his bushido flute and playing us the only tune he knew: a haunting medley
 titled "Western Family in C Maj".

 

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had anunderlying truth.
