"misfortune is needed to plumb certain mysterious depths in the understanding of men; pressure is needed to explode the charge." ~alexandre dumas, "the count of monte cristo"

Sometimes one can learn much more about life, love, and happiness, when they're single than when they're in a relationship, when they're looking for work than when they're working, when they're confused than when they're clear, and so on...

And if they allow themselves to learn what there is to learn, rather than resist, their life will be transformed, and that which was, will be no longer.

~Mike Dooley

“I will not be "famous," "great." I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one's self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.”
― Virginia Woolf

“What I love about being queer is... Everything. I like that it makes me different, and I like that it makes people uncomfortable sometimes. I like that it makes people ask me lots of questions about things they probably would not normally ask people about their relationships or lifestyles. And most of all I love being queer because i get to have a girlfriend.”
― Tegan Quin

I am going to start writing again so this quote seems to fit perfectly.

"Never design your character like a garden Where anyone can walk. Design your character like the sky where everyone desires to reach"

Child1(Kinder): Nut check!
Adult Male: Respect my body!
Child 2 (2 grader) to Child 1: Balls check!

Child 1: ...wobbles to a chair... He hit my nuts!
Adult Female: If it hurts bad we can chop it off.
Child 1: No! I won't be able to walk!
Adult Female: What does it have to do with your legs??
Child 1: My nuts are attached to my legs!

Adult Female - walks away in search of ice pack.

Quote of the day: Stay off other peoples nuts and keep your nuts to yourself.

‎"Seeing beyond our filters—our accumulated knowledge and beliefs—does not always come naturally. We have spent years growing attached to them in various degrees, and they feel safe. Whatever we become attached to can begin to shape our future experiences and limit our perception of what exists outside our vocabulary. Like blinders on a horse, our attached beliefs limit our vision, and this in turn limits our perceived direction in life. The stronger our level of attachment, the less we can see." -don Miguel Ruiz Jr,

Dad was a man who, due to his underprivileged background perhaps, never hesitated when it came to
the verbs to get or to take. He was always getting something off the ground, his act together,
his hands dirty, the show on the road, someone’s goat, the message, out more, on with things, lost, laid,
away with murder. He was also always taking charge, the bull by the horns, back the night, something
in stride, someone to the cleaners, a rain check, an ax to something, Manhattan. And when it came to
looking at things, Dad was something of a Compound Microscope, one who viewed life through an
adjustable eyepiece lens and thus expected all things to be in focus. He had no tolerance for The
Murky, The Blurry, The Hazy or The Soiled.
