Intelligence

If people never did silly things,
nothing intelligent would ever get done.

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Austrian philosopher (1889 - 1951)

Faith Vs Clippy

(Thanks, Dennis Miller -- I needed that.)

See http://www.imagegenerator.net/browse/clippy/score/35383/
But as Miller would say:
"Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong."

I Will Remember

No one is useless in this world
who lightens the burdens of another.

Charles Dickens, English novelist (1812 - 1870)

Safe Journey

Take chances, make mistakes.
That's how you grow.
Pain nourishes your courage.
You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

Mary Tyler Moore, Actress (1936 - )

You're alive. Do something. The directive in life,
the moral imperative is so uncomplicated,

that it can be expressed in single words,
not complete sentences.

It sounds like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act.

~Barbara Hall, A Summons to New Orleans, 2000

Humor Is A Rubber Sword

......
Humor is a rubber sword -
It allows you to make a point
without drawing blood. -- Mary Hirsch

Keep It Simple Stupid

"Brevity is the soul of wit"
-William Shakespeare, Hamlet

That Fell Down

"The act evolves out of yourself--but not intellectually. It gathers emotionally inside you, in a strange way a by-product of struggle, of a willingness to do anything, try anything, expose yourself to anything--staying in motion. Because sooner or later those ripples will cause change. This paying your dues, appearing again and again and again on every sort of stage in front of every kind of audience, until you gradually acquire technique and stage identity, which is not you, but has your passion, your hurts, your angers, your particular humour.

This is a birth process, and it can be painful."

-Joan Rivers, Enter Talking.

Proceed with Caution = Full Speed Ahead

.

"A friend once asked me what comedy waz.
That floored me. What iz comedy? I don't know.
Duz anybody? Can you define it?
All I know iz that I learned how to get laughs,
and that's all I know about it.
You have to learn what people will laugh at,
then proceed accordingly."

- Stan Laurel

Time After Time

To Sidney...

"Time After Time"
Lyrics ©1983 by C.Lauper & R.Hyman

.
Lying in bed I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new
Flashbacks warm nights almost left behind
Suitcase and memories time after…

Sometimes you picture me I’m walking too far ahead
You're calling to me I can't hear what you've said

[Chorus:]
Then you say go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwind
If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering if I'm ok
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

[Chorus:]
If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting

-------bridge------

Then you say go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwind
If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting
Time after time

Time after time
time after time
time after...

Have Faith In Life...

"Have faith in life...a thousand times faith.

By driving out despair, you will move away from death. Hell (on earth) does not last forever."

-Elie Wiesel, Night
