About Me

Life is what you make it - and it's just so damn good.
I love to laugh. ...I'm very happy, proud to be so. Sucka.
“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind
of the individual human is the most valuable thing
in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom
of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected.”
~John Steinbeck, East of Eden
"It doesn't matter that Cathy was what I have called a
monster. Perhaps we can't understand Cathy, but on the
other hand we are capable of many things in all directions,
of great virtues and great sins. And who in his mind has
not probed the black water?"
~John Steinbeck, East of Eden
"It’s too hard and life is too short to spend your time doing
something because somebody else has said it’s important.
You must feel the thing yourself.”
~Isidor I. Rabi, Nobel Prize: Physics, 1944
"Every time I try to talk to someone it's 'sorry this' and 'forgive
me that' and 'I'm not worthy'...*sigh*..."
~God, Monty Python & the Holy Grail
I like to draw things and then wear them permanently.
