to live by

tid bits

I'm still scared of the dark.
I do not like sleeping alone.
Lately I have been sleeping with books,
they are bad sleeping partners.
I like letters.
I like being alone but I hate being lonely.
I eat too much pizza. I could use a hair-cut.

sidenote about the polo horse

i would much rather wear goodwill than polo

clothes are just something to cover your body

also, purses. crazy expensive purses. i don't get it. a bag is a bag.

conformity...sheesh

the philosophy of creation (or how to make anything)

Do something.
Do something to it.
Do something else to it.
~Jasper Johns

be the change

Take to heart these words from Albert Einstein--arguably one of the smartest change masters who ever lived: "All meaningful and lasting change starts first in your imagination and then works its way out. Imagination is more important than knowledge."

the mountain of life

Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.
It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though.
-Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

So Miss Sassy and I have this "mountain theory of life." As good things happen in our lives, we imagine ourselves climbing a mounatin untill we reach the top, the ultimate high in our life, the climax, when it seems like life doesn't get much better. Sometimes we are not on top for long. Sometimes we are lucky and stay on top for a week, a month, 2 months. But there is always a point we are pushed off, trip, or just dive down head first. And BAM! hit rock bottom.
The world will knock you down so surround yourself with Jerry's and Lillie's. They will always be able to help mend you back together.
Thank you, God, for placing people in our lives to pick us up and get us back to the top.
lane, tannner, nick, clark & shane- i'm so glad Miss Sassy and i met you.
this week has been a fun hike

The Sun has got my Shine

i want a quiet mind tonight.
one that is at peace
despite the gas station lines,
past due bills and fuzzy ambiguity.

enough is enough
the joke is on us

for once, mr. moon, you're by yourself.
don't take it personal though.
to study the depth of human behaivor
under the unmentioned circumstance is
just not safe.

not tonight...maybe tomorrow...
