Thing is, it probably is the right thing. But sometimes the right thing is a luxury. And it can have profoundly dangerous consequences, and it's almost as if he doesn't want that to be true.
Laura Rosalin, from Battlestar: Galactica
Then, there are those who care not about extra-terrestrials, searching for meaning in other human beings. Rare or lucky are those who find it. For although we may not be alone in the universe--in our own, separate ways--on this planet, we are all alone.
-Charles Nelson Reilly, from The X-Files
He was a man who was destined to go through life, and not around it. A man who was sure the shortest path to heaven was straight through hell. But the truth of his handicap lay only in the mind both exalted and crippled by too many stories and the path he chose to become one. Bobby Long's tragic flaw was his romance with all that he saw.
-Lawson Pines, from A Love Song for Bobby Long
My name is Brandon.
I go to school occasionally. I work in IT a lot. I am the editor of a (the) campus literary magazine . Music is at the top of the list because it's the soundtrack that helps me feel the moment. I write songs, poems, and the makings of novels. I sketch out amazing ideas for movies that probably won't happen. I'm finding I'm more spiritual than I wanted to believe. And I'm still seeking the infinite.
I think it means the world to make just one other person smile. I think the world could be perfect if we could learn to stop being afraid. I think the world could be perfect if we realized that we're all the same.
I'd love to find a few words and phrases to really identify myself, but they don't exist. But that's not important. I'm here. Now.
...And that'll have to be enough.
