About Me

I love quotes:
"It takes some pressure to make a diamond, it takes some losing to win a soul; it takes a bleak house to run away from, it takes a warm bed to appreciate the cold world." - The Cherry Poppin' Daddies
"All the world in one girl, or one girl in all the world?" - Super Metroid, SNES
"Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is." - Samuel Pepys
"Most people are as happy as they make their minds up to be." - Abraham Lincoln
"When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no brick and no temples." - Stephen Crane
"You worry too much. You've always been that way. No one thinks of you as badly as you think they do. Don't always blame yourself. You aren't strong enough to carry everything on your own. Let's share it." - Abarai Renji

Musing on Water

Water. Tumultuous power lies dormant beneath serenity. Power to gain in size, to move as a swiping hand, to destroy firmly founded opposition, to drown any resistance, made manifold through its immeas...
