I Bear A Charmed Life

About Me


Carpe' Noctum

A man whom life intoxicates,
who has no need of wine...
Anas Nin

And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With old odd ends, stol'n forth of holy writ;
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.
King Richard III: Act I, Scene III

No, my most wronged sister; Cleopatra
Hath nodded him to her.
He hath given his empire
Up to a whore;
who now are levying The kings o' theearth for war:
Antony and Cleopatra: Act III, Scene VI

I am not bound to please thee with my answers.
William Shakespeare


Idealism is what precedes experience;
cynicism is what follows.
David T. Wolf

My Interests



Thou losest labour:
As easy mayst thou the intrenchant air
With thy keen sword impress as make me bleed:
Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests;
I bear a charmed life, which must not yield,
To one of woman born.
MACBETH: Act V, Scene VIII



Nothing emboldens sin so much as mercy.
William Shakespeare

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Aristotle
I do begin to have bloody thoughts.
William Shakespeare


Bad Girls
Make Good Company

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.
Henry David Thoreau

He wears his faith but as the fashion of his hat
Much Ado about Nothing, Act I, Scene I

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Albert Einstein

Friends and Strangers

Perception

I dreamt the other night.  About an X, not unusual for any of us, but this time the way in which my sub-conscious chose to integrate her had changed. I think that is the true test of how we perc...

One Saturday Night

It is odd not going out. And more than a little lonely, I must admit. I went to the bookstore and sat and read for a while.  I had a craving for some chai.  I stayed so long that I decided...
