dmciotti (Denise M Ciotti):
"You know...if you think how we're born and we go through all the struggle of
growing up and learning the multiplication tables and the name for everything,
the rules, how not to get run over, braid your hair, pig-Latin. Figuring out
how to sneak out of the house late at night. Just all the ins and outs, the
effort, and learning to accept all the flaws in everybody and everything. And
then getting a job, probably something you don't even like doing for not
enough money, like bartending, and that's if your lucky. That's if you're
not born in Calcutta or Equador or the U.S. without money. Then there's
your marriage and raising your own kids if...you know. And they're going
through the same struggle all over again, only worse, because somebody's
trying to sell them crack in the first grade by now. And all this time
you're paying taxes and your hair starts to fall out and you're wearing six
pairs of glasses which you can never find and you can't recognize yourself
in the mirror and your parents die and your friends, again, if you're lucky,
and it's not you first. And if you live long enough, you finally get to
watch everybody die: all your loved ones, your wife, your husband and your
kids, maybe, and you're totally alone. And as a final reward for all this...
you disappear. No one knows where. So we might as well have a good time
while we're here, don't you think?"
from _PRELUDE TO A KISS_ by Craig Lucas
"Wipe your hands across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots."
from _PRELUDES_ by T.S. Eliot

those plans are now regrettably canceled. :(
SAY THAT AGAIN?

Professor Jones had been working on time theory for many years.
"And I have found the key equation," he told his daughter one
day. "Time is a field. This machine I have made can manipulate,
even reverse, that field." Pushing a button as he spoke, he
said, "This should make time run backward run time make should
this," said he, spoke he as button a pushing. "Field that,
reverse even, manipulate can made have I machine this. Field a
is time." Day one daughter his told he, "Equation key the found
have I and." Years many for theory time on working been had
Jones Professor. [Frederic Brown, from @i{Nightmares and
