"We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us." -- Joseph Campbell
"Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy." --Albert Einstein
"Though I am old with wandering Through hollow lands and hilly lands, I will find out where she has gone, And kiss her lips and take her hands; And walk among long dappled grass, And pluck till time and times are done The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun."-- William Butler Yeats
Kolakowski's Law - For any given doctrine that one wants to believe, there is never a shortage of arguments by which to support it.
Ockham's Razor - Explanations should never multiply causes without necessity. When two explanations are offered for a phenomenon, the simplest full explanation is preferable.
Hofstadter's Law - It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.
"You can't always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream." -- Frank Zappa
"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart... Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens." --Carl Jung
"Just because no one understands doesn't mean you're an artist." -- unknown
I don't care much about music. What I like is sounds. -- Dizzy Gillespie
"What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagi- nation? .... Moloch whose love is endless oil and stone! Moloch whose soul is electricity and banks! Moloch whose poverty is the specter of genius! Moloch whose fate is a cloud of sexless hydrogen!" -- Allen Ginsberg

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'
