edzimmer (Eric D. Zimmerman):
I finished moving!
Now to get my experiment up and running...
Then to write a thesis about it...
Then to get into grad school...
Then...to graduate.
"I am reminded at this point of a fellow I used to know whose name was
Henry, only to give you an idea of what an individualist he was, he
spelled it H-E-N-3-R-Y. The 3 was silent, you see.
"Hen3ry was financially independent, having inherited his father's tar
and feather business, and was able therefore to devote his full time
to such intellectual pursuits as writing. I particularly remember a
heartwarming novel of his, about a young necrophiliac who finally
achieved his boyhood ambition by becoming coroner....
"In addition to writing, he indulged in a good deal of
philosophizing. Like so many contemporary philosophers, he especially
enjoyed giving helpful advice to people who were happier than he was.
One particular bit of advice which I recall, which is the whole reason
I bring up this dreary story, was something he said once, before they
took him away to the Massachusetts State Home for the Bewildered. He
said, 'Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what
you put into it.' It's always seemed to me that this is precisely the
sort of dynamic, positive thinking that we so desperately need today
in these trying times of crisis and international brouhaha."

"An Evening Wasted
with Tom Lehrer," 1959

xluo (Xiaodong Luo):
Somehow, I do not know what I am doing now.
But the following is the least thing I should do:
Be alert, alert of everything that surrounds you.
There is no story to tell if you are not cautious.
Be patient, still there is a long way to the destination.
Do whatever you can do, throw those damn "humanain" thought behind,
I can feel there is a coming change in a near future.
Luo Xiao Dong.
