celine (Adam Weishaupt):
Love? I'd rather have a root canal!
William is insane.
Nagel once told me that even if it is true that nothing matters, then
that fact doesn't matter either.
To which I responded that any justification for action is just as
valid as and justification for INaction. Ergo, unless one was
self-motivated in the first place, in which case they would not have
fostered the original sentiment, this nothing matters doesn't matter
line is useless.
One of my favorite paradoxical jokes:
Two old men meet after having not seen each other in several years.
One asks the other how his life has been, all in all.
The other replies: "Oh, not too bad, but given the choice, I would
have chosen to never have been born."
To which I comment: If only we had such a choice.

dachurch (Douglas A. Church):
If it were within our power
beyond the reach of slavish pride
to no longer harbour grievances
behind the mask's opportnists facade
We would welcome the responsibility
like a long lost friend
and re-establish laughter
in the dolls house once again
For time has imprisoned us
in the order of our years
in the discipline of our ways
and in the passing of momentary stillness
we can view our chaos in motion
this is our chaos in motion
- "In the Kingdom of the Blind the One-Eyed are Kings",

nrp (Niki R Pantelias):
"I wish you belief in Life
belief in Fate
belief you are Lucky
and worth the Wait
'Cause life could be lovely
Life could be so great"
-- 'Til Tuesday
"Believed You Were Lucky"
Happy Holidays everyone!!

Constable for the area."
