PHILOSOPHY
do what it takes to be happy. at the center of your being, you know who you are and what you want.
----------------------------
"we are fucked. life is really really good." derrick jensen
---------------------------------------------------
PRINCE LIR: No. Lady, I am a hero, and heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned. The happy
ending cannot come in the middle of the story.
MOLLY GRUE (to Schmendrick): But what if there isn't a happy ending at all?
SCHMENDRICK: There are no happy endings, because nothing ends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
my best friend and i put about 2,000 miles on a tandem bicycle the winter of 2004. one of the most amazing experiences from that trip, besides getting hit by car, was being absorbed by the VAST nothingness of western Texas. Alone with the stars, the armadillos, and our fear of wild boars, being passed by just one truck in 8 hours of riding. nothing but wide open spaces.
Teach, Learn, Share
