About Me

the antithesis of scatterbrained is not harmony nor balance, but complete lethargy. I'm a tad scatterbrained. bear with me or fuck off -- whatever you feel more comfortable with. Most often, the people who quote Nietzsche are the ones Nietzsche's quotes were not meant for. Spinoza died of consumption. He was a lens grinder. He inhaled glass dust. David Hume was fond of billiards. Plato's real name was Aristocles.what to be careful of when you go fishing. http://www.waterufo.net/menu.htm

Heroes:

People who know that myth does not equal fallacy. people who aren't subjugated by the heavy hand of scientific fact or method and the stupifying mind-numbing antics of popularized religion, who forgot that myth is the fuel that burns the fire of awe and wonder which keeps spirituality alive in us.if heroes are limited to those who are dead or ever missing, then history is my hero.
