Sad

My dad's Aunt Myrtle died. I'll be going to the wake this Saturday.

I never really knew her; the only time I can remember even meeting her was when I was six, although I know I saw her at my grandfather's funeral. But I know my mom really liked her, so I'm sorry I didn't try to get to know her.

Real art. And very important right now.

I'm a hero

Things I believe part 2

Never trust someone who dislikes cats because they are too independent. Will they dislike you for the same reason?

Nature intended man to be an omnivore, and he only functions at his best when he lives as such.*

It is only possible for raw ingredients to be all natural.**

Only a fool is content with the limits of his knowledge.

No matter how hard they try to, children cannot love unconditionally. Parents can always push too far.

*I know some of my friends can't live as omnivores, and that is not a criticism of them.
**This doesn't mean that I think all natural is better. Anthrax is all natural.

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
