Danger hides behind the smile of the guru ... who has lost his way

About Me


The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved...the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.
Jack Kerouac
... it is all about want. What do you want? Because if you don't want something, you've got nothing. You are adrift, you are washed away, and then buried under the snow and the shadows. And when, in the spring, the snow melts, no one will remember where you were frozen and buried, and you will no longer be anywhere.
Nick McDonell
So many live out their lives in quiet lostness ... they live, as it were, away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the question of its immortality, because they are already disintegrated before they die ...
Soren Kierkegaard

How Aquarius Are You?

Sun: Virgo
Rising: Aquarius
Moon: Gemini
Are You Right or Left Brained?
Right Brain (42%) The right hemisphere is the visual, figurative, artistic, and intuitive side of the brain. Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.
Left Brain (42%) The left hemisphere is the logical, articulate, assertive, and practical side of the brain. Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.
Thought for the Day:
"A happy face does not come by chance. It comes by happy thoughts."
