If it wasn't for Jon Stewart, I don't think I'd be handling 2 terms of the Bush administration as well as I have been.

I think this quote sums up my current state of activities/thoughts:
"I am reminded of something the greatest Italian poet said, he happened to be called Dante. He was speaking of medieval Europe which was in a destroyed moment. I think that we can now reapply some of those verses to our current state. I will replace Italy with Earth in this metaphor: As Dante said, "Mother Earth is a hotel of pain, a ship without a guide, with all the passengers seemingly happy but bound to wind up in complete destruction." This is the earth today. A grand " bordello." Mother Earth has never been this offended. It has never been so attacked. And we are going to have to pay for this. And if all these species are disappearing, so can man. So we have to decisively change the road we are on." -Carlo Petrini, Slow Food USA conference
I LOVE good coffee and espresso. I'm a coffee fiend :)
i LOVE MY COOPS.
