Ah me, sad hours seem long.

About Me

Innocence is such a beautiful thing. Something to cherish and protect. For once you touch it, it's gone.
~Brent Johnson
what do you want to know? there are alot of days i'm not really sure what i'd say. I read, i philosophize, i love debating over problems and questions that have no simple answer, but that enable a person to use every inch of his or her reasoning faculties. I love beauty-beauty that can be found in a person, a piece of art, a strain of music, a well turned phrase, a well cooked meal, or even in tragedy. I live my life from day to day, for better or worse, because i never know what tomorrow may bring. It will more than likely come, so do not burn all my bridges. By the same token, it may never come, so i try not to stand too much on ceremony. I never quite know who i am because i'm always recreating myself each day-i build on what my prior selves have lain as a foundation, and hopefully improve upon the overall structure. I love my friends more than life itself. Which is why it's good I have so few true friends, because I regretfully have but one life to give.
You know, the only way you could be more useless right now is if you actually were the wall. Now, it certainly is true that you'd at least be serving a purpose - specifically a surface for a jackass to lean against - but it could be argued that this is more useless than doing nothing. I know, it's a conundrum but don't you worry, I'll noodle it for you right here. Meanwhile, you just skip along, all right Shirley?
In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit-Ayn Rand
Great men can't be ruled
Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy-Robert A. Heinlein
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do-Robert A. Heinlein
Sex without love is merely healthy exercise-Robert A. Heinlein
Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent-Friedrich Nietzsche
Arrogance on the part of the meritorious is even more offensive to us than the arrogance of those without merit: for merit itself is offensive-Friedrich Nietzsche
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward-Kurt Vonnegut

next to silence, music is most apt in expressing the unexpressable.

except you can't very well express music in words. I kinda wish i could-i've been really enjoying some of the techno i've found. it's not necessarily over-poppy or as depressing as some of my stuff. i...
