About Me

Hey, I'm Jason. I'm a pretty laid back guy and go with the flow. I love playing jazz and rock&roll saxophone. I'm big into Baseball, especially the New York Yankees, baby! Let me know if you want to know more, my s/n is Ifrit699

"When god gives you lemons... FIND A NEW GOD! - Powerthirst 2
"Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought; And enterprises of great pith and moment, With this regard, their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action." - Hamlet
"We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl... year after year."
- Pink Floyd
"Man can survive for 40 days without food, 3 days without water, and about 8 minutes without air... but can not survive for one second without Hope." - Chaz Whitbourne
"Sometimes you have to sacrifice something you want now for something you've wanted your whole life." - some Scrubs writer. :-)
"'You'll get over it...' It's the cliches that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularity of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one elese can fit. Why would I want them to?"
"...And I'm thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die
So who's going to watch you die?"
- Death Cab for Cutie

"The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?"
"Don't you think it's just a little bit strange that Ronald Reagan had an operation on his asshole, and George Bush had an operation on his middle finger?"
-George Carlin
"What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you love. That's what matters. That's the only thing that counts."
"Do you think God gets stoned? I think so . . . look at the platypus."
- Robin Williams
"Beautiful people do not just happen...The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern...Beautiful people do not just happen..." ~ Elizabeth Kubler Ross

Music:

"Music is about playing what you feel, and what your experiencing in the 'here and now.' It's about the present more than it's about the past or the future."
