About Me

"we should have a great many fewer disputes in the world if words were taken for what they are, the signs of our ideas only, and not for things themselves" ---------- Locke-------------------------------"superfluous wealth can buy superfluities only. money is not required to buy one necessary of the soul" ------ Thoreau-----------------------------"it's not on any map, true places never are" -------- hennings ---------------"when a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldy by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers" -emerson ----------------- "don't be afraid, johnny. The pioneers of the past have shown us the way. And, god helping us, we will show the way to the pioneers of the future"-- mary marshall----------" life is a daily process like fingernail growth"--DK "there is so much more to life than this stifling aroma of illuminated sterility" -j brandon. "makes you want to commit suicide on a playground or shoot a nun or something" - c carothers "sounds like animal from the muppets singing over weird junkyard music" -n. pritchard "i think i either watch a movie or go outside and punch trees" - d. connolly "skull fucking gets me in trouble sometimes." DK "some one just called me. and had the wrong number, then just hung up on me. so I texted him, "next time, say thank you, douche"". J. brandon
