Quote of the day:
"Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs" Lily Tomlin

Thought of the day:
In the massage parlor of life, I'm left wondering: "where's my happy ending?"

Quote of the day:
"It may be that we have all lived before and died, and this is hell" A. L.
Prusick

Thought of the day:
If I'm not scared to die, what does that say about the quality of my life?
Not fearing death seems a bit of an insult to life I guess.

Quote of the day:
"The brave are always the first to die" Magneto

Thought of the day:
People once worshiped the sun, maybe some still do. This may seem laughable
to some people, but you can not only prove the sun exists but also that it
gives us life. I know of no religion that can offer as much.

Quote of the day:
"Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" Howell M. Forgy

Thought of the day:
The bottle is empty and so am I.

Quote of the day:
"Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think
laughable" Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Thought of the day:
As much as we prize beauty, it's often the little defects that's we fall in
love with.

1-26-05

Quote of the day:
"Anger is never without a Reason, but seldom with a good One" Benjamin
Franklin

Thought of the day:
Everyone's a junkie, everyone has their "fix." It's just not so obvious with
some people. Be it a bottle, a bible, or a blonde, it's something. While it
may not always be a bad thing, even the best addiction has it's pain or price.

Quote of the day:
"Show me a hero and I will write you a tragedy" F. Scott Fitzgerald

Thought of the day:
It really doesn't matter what I say or do, does it?

1-24-05

Quote of the day:
"No man is a Christian who cheats his fellows, perverts the truth, or speaks
of a clean bomb, yet he will be the first to make public his faith in God"
Marya Mannes

Thought of the day:
Perhaps at times the best way to show our love, is not to show our love.

1-23-05

Quote of the day:
"Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars. Look at some of his films and
see how he moved. I think he was quite as good as Jagger. It's astounding.
And, boy, when he hit that stage, he worked an audience. Good God! He was no
politician, he was a media artist himself. He used politics and theatrics and
created this thing that governed and controlled the show for those twelve years.
The world will never see his like. He staged a country" David Bowie

Thought of the day:
I wish I could enjoy the snow, but instead I feel like a prisoner to it. Then
I guess that's the story of most everything in my life, including my life.

1-22-05

Quote of the day:
"Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork?" Stanislaw J. Lec

Thought of the day:If you're going to kill yourself, at least make it interesting. Slit your wrists after a snow storm and with your last bits of strength make a snow angel.

Amanda said: "How utterly morbid, some times, no...wait....a lot of times I wonder about you Dave."

Quote of the day:
"I've yet to hear a man ask for advise on how to combine marriage and a career" Gloria Steinem

Thought of the day:
If I could write my autobiography, it'd be pretty much nothing but laughter and tears. It's odd how so many things in my life I look back on and they seem so unreal that they are laughable, yet at the time cut me like a razor. The first girl I had the courage to ask out said "yes" and I was left thinking that finally I was given a break. Meanwhile only a few hours later before our "date" she told me about her boyfriend in prison and asked if we could just be "friends." You couldn't make shit like that up if you tried. This was after meeting the girl who was a nazi, literally! I met a girl at a bar and when Icalled her up, she was downloading white supremacist music off the Internet! What are you going to do though, at least I'm left with some interesting stories.

1-20-05

Quote of the day:
"Hell has no terrors for pagans" Arthur Rimbaud

Thought of the day:
There was a guy fighting against their being a prayer said at the
inauguration today. Faced four more years of this jackass and even I think we'd
better start praying to something! By Odin's beard!

Quote of the day:
"La coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connait point" Blaise Pascal

Thought of the day:
If alcoholism is a disease, then so is love. (I'd originally thought to
compare alcoholism to religion, but love works so much better)

1-18-05

Quote of the day:
"Be good and you will be lonesome" Mark Twain

Thought of the day:
Is there anything that does not have a negative, an evil, a consequence, a
price, or what have you?

1-17-05

Quote of the day:
"There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love" Martin
Luther King Jr.

Thought of the day:
I've lost my faith in many things, but despite my experience and even my
logic, I still believe in love. Honestly, I have no fucking clue why?

"Nine men in ten are suicides" Benjamin Franklin

People really read this shit I write?

Quote of the day:
"The only infallible rule we know is, that the man who is always talking
about being a gentleman never is one" R. S. Surtees

Thought of the day:
I'd like to be known as a gentleman. To me it's a title that has class,
style, dignity, humility, sensitivity, respect, and so much more. It's one thing
to be a man but something far more to be a gentleman. Maybe by the time I die
I'll be know as such.

Quote of the day:
"I'm not even supposed to be here today!" Dante Hicks in Clerks

Thought of the day:
All work and no play seems to sum up my day.

Quote of the day:
"After the game, the king and pawn go into the same box" Italian proverb

Thought of the day:
I don't think I've ever had a birthday cake with just my name on it. I've
always shared my birthday with my brother and now with my nefew as well. I guess
it isn't all that big a deal.

1-09-05

Quote of the day:
"Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life" Charles Schulz

Thought of the day:
Only thought I have right now is the song "Sunday Morning Coming Down," it seems the perfect theme for today and almost every Sunday. With lines like "I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt" and "there's something in Sunday that makes a body feel alone," it captures the moodof the day perfect. Thanks Kris Kristofferson!

Quote of the day:
"There is Auschwitz, and so there cannot be God" Primo Levi

Thought of the day:
Sure Auschwitz was horrible, but everything looks worst in black & white.
This is probably my most horrible thought of the day, but I think that is in
part why I decided to share it. Can we be offended by our own thoughts? Can we be offended and yet also amused?

1-07-05

Quote of the day:
"Love, the itch, and a cough cannot be hid" Thomas Fuller

Thought of the day:
We are made up of those whom we have lost. Their words, their love, their
memory, their very being, they gave to us to carry on. I know nothing of an
after life, but I feel we give immortality to those whom we remember, simply by remembering them. (I think I stole that last part from Seinfeld, who stole it from some Star Trek movie but then nothing is original is it and now the moodhas changed) I never visit graves, remembering and sharing the memories of those whom we've lost, to me means so much more then then flowers next to stone.

Quote of the day:
"The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go
to bed in one kind of world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not without enchantment then where is it to be found?" J. B. Priestly

Thought of the day:
As much as the snow is a serious and dangerous nuisance, I must admit I love looking out my back window to see the bare trees covered in snow. Snow fall ment so much to me as a child, have I become colder then the snow itself not to enjoy it? My memories go back to sleigh-riding and my brother holding my face
in the snow. That BASTARD!

like going into strange worlds" David Lynch

Thought of the day:
Is there anything sweeter then the time between meeting a pretty girl and

Quote of the day:
"If you have to be in a soap opera try not to get the worst role" Boy George

Thought of the day:
No matter how horrible someone may seem, there's likely someone that calls
them "friend."

1-03-05

Quote of the day:
"Would the boy you were be proud of the man you are?" Laurence J Peter

Thought of the day:
I'm not a good person, but I try to be. I've done wrong (for lack of better
wording) and will do so again I'm sure. It's difficult sometimes to know what's
right and wrong. Especially since my view of right and wrong has changed over
the years. So many things that I once thought were completely right or wrong
have changed.

Quote of the day:
"If it has to choose who is to be crucified, the crowd will always save
Barabbas" Jean Cocteau

Thought of the day:
I was depressed that I was all alone, till I saw a man who had no hands.

Quote of the day:
"Drop last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was
imperfect, and thank God that it can go" Brooks Atkinson

Thought of the day:
Does the New Year really offer anything new? Time will tell I guess. I've
made no "resolutions" for it. They're rarely a good idea but then I've only made
one once that I can recall. Really I have no expectations for this year and
maybe that's a good thing.

1-01-05

Ryan Logsdon sent me this to send out, but I wasn't sure to "who" (or is that
whom)? So I picked the people I have screan names for that I know he knows.
So "Happy New Year!" from me as well if I don't see you.

And once again it is New Years. cool. Are we all going to get drunk, get silly, have fun and eventually end up having sex with someone they hardly know (this is even true of the casual boyfriend and girlfriend -- one wonders how much they actually know about their partner in life and the bedroom) or end up alone, masturbating to the same images found on Skinamax at three-thirty in the morning, eastern standard time, of course? Fuck that! You know what this New Years is, a chance to do something for ourselves, something beyond pure visceral experience or chaotic drunkenness. This is a New Year, ladies and gentlemen, only we have the ability to change the next year into something other then an experiment in melancholy. I'll be honest with you all, my friends and neighbors, I don't think I, personally, am going to make it far in this new New Year's, but goddamn!, I'm gonna do the best I can and if a fall flat on my face and end up in a worse situation then when I started, so what! I won't really be in a place that matters, right? I mean, this is it, down to the bottom! But, I'm going to laugh and have fun with my brothers and sisters who will be in Philly for the next three nights! After that, who knows, right? All I know is that I have enough air to get me to my next breath as a write these lame words into some kind of jumbled mess of semi-coherent statements. In other words, go to Bones or to a party or to Philly, anywhere -- all I know that Phish are gone, The Biscuits may be next and my masterpiece is almost finished (in case you do not know, OKAssassin is my new screenplay I'm currently transferring from the inner depths of my soul to the endless blinking of my word processor) and I have no female representation of happiness. whatever, it's not like I want to drone on about my trials and tribulations with my failed and often heart-wrenching relationships every single day. I used to. I felt that I wrote best when sad or confused. This is still true but I realize that, apart from blaming our creators, their is fucking nobody to blame but ourselves, our shortcomings, our fears and most of all, what we look like on the outside because despite what Alisha told me one time after our first date, "first experience counts for more then ninety percent of our human relationships." Thus to the ugly go the riches and to the pretty go the spoils of the innocent's blood. So, after my ramblings I will leave you all with a quote to live by, die by or survive in the new year, "TODAY, IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE, OR LIVE OR SURVIVE." -- Capt. Geetchps. I hope Dave sends this to everyone before the New Year, if not, post is good.love always,until we meet again,Ryan Vincent Logsdon

Quote of the day:
"Men are not hanged for stealing horses, but that horses may not be stolen"
George Lord Halifax

Thought of the day:
Well, it's the end of a year and a memorable one for many of you I'm sure. Be
it for reasons good or bad. Hopefully we've at least learned from the bad and
savored the good. Myself, the year has held it's heartaches and headaches and
I'm left wondering if I've truly learned anything from it all. Maybe, but not
enough I'm sure. I can't say the year was all bad, I bought 2 Cadillacs and
drank pretty much every Johnnie Walker from Red to Green to Blue. With all that
said, I'll be glad to see this year end though. May everyone awake to a
better year tomorrow.

"If you think you are emancipated, you might consider the idea of tasting
your menstrual blood -- if it makes you sick, you've a long way to go, baby."
Germaine Greer (Hey, if I had to read it, so do you)

Thought of the day:
Perhaps the greatest gift I can give my children, is not to have any.
