I'm over it. Now it's time for a life...

About Me

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME IS THAT I SPEAK MY MIND. SO BEWARE!!!
"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction." ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
let it fall fall like rain let it fall like an earthquake bringing me down but how mountains are built so am I how joy came to be so must I I am as good as myself a burning star in the sky
"Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever..." ~ Isak Dinesen
"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile" ~ Albert Einstein
And my favorite one (EVER)... "Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind. Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of people. I have wished to know why the stars shine. Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in my heart Of children in famine, of victims tortured And of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, And I too suffer. This has been my life; I found it worth living." ~Bertrand Russel
"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."
"Who will tell whether one happy moment of love, or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life emplies?" ~ Erich Fromm
"All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without the benefit of experience." ~Henry Miller
"Suffering is justified as soon as it becomes the raw material of beauty." ~ Jean-Paul Sartre
I believe true beauty lies in humility and dignity... in perhaps not even knowing how beautiful you truly are but never doubting the possiblity. To live every day for someone else, something else, a larger purpose. True beauty comes from within and radiates throughout, through the hearts of the people you touch, through the minds of those you speak with. Beautiful is not a way to look, but a way to live.

Not to mention, anyone who lives their lives for themselves without doing damage to anyone else's. It's all too important to go through life worrying about trivial things while squashing others to get ahead.

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months" ~ Oscar Wilde

I am starting to keep funny or brilliant things my friends say...

"Uh oh. 5-0's on the prowl. Light up and act natural!" - a drunken Kati (after a marg and soco&sprite) if you know Kati, it's fuckin hilarious!

"Perhaps I might accidentally eat some croutons" - E-Rocket

"Oh, and by the way... Baja Starbursts were NOT a fuckin fiesta in my mouth" - Jenni

"Screw you! I have plenty of interior!" - Jonez

I said, "Kati, you look like a pumpkin." She replies, "Is it the hair?"
