About Me

"if there's anything you want, come on back cause it's all still here, i'll be in the back room drinkin' my half of the beer..." spoon

HOPE is ALIVE.

"the only way to have friends is to throw everything out the window, to keep your door unlocked, and never to know where you will be sleeping at night. you will tell me there are few people mad enough to act like this. well then, they shouldn't complain about not having any friends. they don't want any." joseph joubert, 1783

"in friendly numbers the divisors of the one that adds up to the other, and vice versa, are a new assembling of the other number's components. pythagoras. a friend is yourself in another person." guy davenport, "owl of minerva"

"only robbers and gypsies say that one must never return to where one has once been" soren kierkegaard
