My Uncle is one of the bald spots in the below press release. The company that made the loan possible for the opening of the featured restaurant is where my Uncle works :) It was neat, even though I patently oppose the federal reserve system and it's cronies.

Because anybody that reads this will be moved by it through inspiration, or that heavy sigh a person emits when they know that someone else knows that they suffered.

I post a quote, or a series of quotes, and hopefully, people respond with some favorite quotes of their own that aren't repeated from our last adventure.

"There isn't any point in trying to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and it annoys the pig." -Unknown (Ruff)

"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds." -Albert Einstein

"What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome." -Friedrich Nietzche

"In the beginning of a change the Patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." -Mark Twain

"Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it." -George Bernard Shaw

"Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving." -p.405 Terry Pratchett 'Hat Full of Sky'

"Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt

Current Mood: contemplative

Work was unremarkable in a pleasantly passable way, busy enough not to drag. I got to see a friend that I had not seen in two years, and catch up on things. I got to spend another lovely Sunday at the range with a person I could pass hours in the presence of without saying anything, and successfully scheduled next Sunday as a trip to the art museum with said person.

For all the words I have running around in my head, this is all that seems appropriate for now. Larger post due the sixteenth, I think. Perhaps another on the fourth of next month.

"There are only two things that are infinite: The universe, and human stupidity....and I'm not sure about the universe." -Albert Einstein

An adorable little song that i can recommend to anyone.

Loose Lips
by: Kimya Dawson

loose lips might sink ships but loose gooses take trips
to san francisco, double dutch disco,
tech tv hottie, do it for scotty
do it for the living and do it for the dead
do it for the monsters under your bed
do it for the teenagers and do it for your mom
broken hearts hurt but they make us strong and

we won't stop until somebody calls the cops
and even then we'll start again and just pretend that
nothing ever happened

we won't stop until somebody calls the cops
and even then we'll start again and just pretend that
nothing ever happened

we're just dancing, we're just hugging,
singing, screaming, kissing, tugging
on the sleeve of how it used to be

how's it gonna be?

i'll drop kick russell stover, move into the starting over house
and know matt rouse and jest are watching me achieve my dreams

and we'll pray, all damn day, every day,
that all this shit our president has got us in will go away
while we strive to figure out a way we can survive
these trying times without losing our minds

so if you wanna burn yourself remember that I LOVE YOU
and if you wanna cut yourself remember that I LOVE YOU
and if you wanna kill yourself remember that I LOVE YOU
call me up before your dead, we can make some plans instead
send me an IM, i'll be your friend

shysters live from scheme to scheme and my 4th quarter pipe dreams
are seeming more and more worth fighting for
so i'll curate some situations, make my job a big vacation
and i'll say FUCK BUSH AND FUCK THIS WAR

my war paint is sharpie ink and i'll show you how much my shit stinks
and ask you what you think because your thoughts and words are powerful
they think we're disposable, well both my thumbs opposable
are spelled out on a double word and triple letter score

we won't stop until somebody calls the cops and even then we'll start again and just pretend that
nothing ever happened

we won't stop until somebody calls the cops
and even then we'll start again and just pretend that nothing ever happened

we're just dancing, we're just hugging,
singing, screaming, kissing, tugging on the sleeve of how it used to be
