....This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, 'Doc, my brother's crazy, he thinks he's a chicken,' and the doctor says, ' well why don't you turn him in?' And the guy says, 'I would, but I need the eggs.' Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships. You know, they're totally irrational and crazy and absurd and, but uh, I guess we keep going through it...because...most of us need the eggs.

Movies:

One of my favorite quotes, from one of my favorite movies ..."Breakfast At Tiffany's"

" You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself. "

"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman."
Anais Nin
"...she liked artistic and creative copulation in all its forms and expressions, interracial, sexual, spiritual."
-Anais Nin
"Reduce intellectual and emotional noise until you arrive at the silence of yourself, and listen to it."

Heroes:

My Father, Gerald E. McGinn
May 1, 1937 - Ocober 9, 2006
God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be.
He closed his arms around you and whispered "Come to Me"... In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away, our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping, so peacefully free from pain, we could not wish you back to suffer so again.
So keep your arms around him, Lord and give him special care.
Make up for all his suffering and
all that seemed unfair.
Rest in peace Pop.

****"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free"****~ U.S. President Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)
