A few words
"When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness." ~ D.H. Lawrence "Is the meaning of life defined by its duration? Or does life have a purpose so large that it doesn't have to be prolonged at any cost to preserve its meaning?" "Living is not good, but living well. The wise man, therefore, lives as well as he should, not as long as he can... He will always think of life in terms of quality not quantity... Dying early or late is of no relevance, dying well or ill is... even if it is true that while there is life there is hope, life is not to be bought at any cost." ~ Seneca "People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. Those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect." ~ Daydream Nation "All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories-- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death." ~ The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes "The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer to the elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong site of the road." ~ Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita "It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." ~ William Blake Think about it Musicalities! Kill that boredom!

Jhonen Vasquez's site Overheard in New York Passive Aggressive Notes Submarinechannel.com Superdickery UHpinions Whirled | Sausage tales Tuesday, November 25, 2008 I have a book of Grimm fairy tales that I got for Christmas years ago... It's over seven hundred pages long, and the font isn't big like in some children's books. I've read the whole thing numerous times though, and once I begin a story again, I can usually remember how it goes. There's one story about two sausages that has always scared me a little. It's called The Strange Feast... Basically, a blood sausage and a liver sausage were friends. The blood sausage invited the liver sausage over for dinner, and the liver sausage agreed. When she got there and went through the door, there were a lot of steps, and she saw strange things on each one. There was a broom fighting a shovel, and a monkey with a big wound on its head, and so on and so forth. Then she got to the room where the blood sausage was and asked about all this. The blood sausage evaded her questions, or answered them in weird ways. Then the blood sausage said she had to go into the kitchen to check up on things. After she left, the liver sausage heard a voice say "get the hell out of here if you want to live." She took the advice and ran until she was out of the house. Then she turned around and saw the blood sausage standing at the attic window, holding a long knife. The blood sausage brandished it at her and cried, "if I had caught you, I would have had you!" Can you see why this story has freaked me out? The not-your-typical-fairy-tale aspect of it doesn't really bother me, but it's just... weird. I mean, you've got these two animate meat products, which is in itself kind of odd, but the stairs part doesn't make any sense to me, and come to think of it; how does a sausage hold something? And yet I still read it every now and then... it's like the song you can't get out of your head until you hear it again. --- Alrighty, Praetorian has agreed to go through with the interview. If you guys have any questions, just tell 'em to me. If not, I'll do the whole thing myself. I'm trying to decide between just having some set questions, or doing it conversation-style.... --- Our Hamlet skit in Lit. seems, so far, like it was written by someone on crack. And that's... bad? We switched most of the genders of people, and changed it from everyone getting killed to people.... accepting... peace... and becoming hippies or something. And there's a food fight and singing gravediggers.... I don't really know what the hell we were thinking when we wrote this. It's barely Hamlet anymore. Now it's more like we took a couple of things that were Hamlet, and twisted them so much it's hard to say what they started as. Fortinbras became Freddie, and he's a hippie who launches into Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy for no apparent reason after telling people that "you have to stop killing, man, love your brother, violence is not the answer... you gotta make love, not war!" One of us picks up a bag of "Freddie's meds" (Jay wanted to put oregano in a bag, the teacher said no, so we're doing shredded green paper instead) and looks at him questioningly... he snatches the bag and says "I have a doctor's note for that! For the oregano! Because I'm oregano-deficient. Yeah." Seriously I don't know what was going on here. --- Emre kept stretching and getting into my personal space while we were working on that, so I scribbled all over his arm with my Sharpie. I've been wanting to do that for a while.... It didn't do much, though. He grabbed the cap, then dropped it, then asked the teacher if he could go wash it off. I don't... even know how to descibe today... 5 Comments. R:C I am, indeed, flying with cake. Possibly cakes. Or cake and pastries. In any case, flying with baked goods. The best part is when TSA officers insist that my baked goods go through the X-ray machine. » ranor on 2008-11-26 12:32:12 Also... ...to inject hippie politics into Hamlet seems like an affront to all that is good and holy. » ranor on 2008-11-26 12:33:19 Wow.. that is one weird fairy tail. Though I thought some fairy tales are meant to be gory for some odd reason. » Nuttz on 2008-11-26 08:19:00 alllrightiy, very interesting story. oh an interview? if i could think up a good one, i'll let ya kno. When is the interview scheduled? That would explain the questions on all of your postings, i was trying t ofigure out waht was going on, damn haitueses i take.... » CPKviperpheonix on 2008-11-26 11:20:48 MIP Minor in possession » The-Muffin-Man on 2008-11-26 11:09:25
