For some reason, at least up north (where I'm from) we have more birthday's in October then in any other month. I suppose that the long, cold nights and short cold days of January and February inspire more then the normal amount of...ah...shall we say "birthday making?"
Today's Topic: Age
"Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional."
-Mykal
"A person is always startled when he hears himself seriously called an old man for the first time."
-Oliver Wendell Holmes
"As we grow old…the beauty steals inward."

Lots of quotes today, but the subject is so wonderful that excessive verbosity is often the result when it is inflicted on an individual.
Today’s Topic: Inspiration
“Muses are real. I know several of them personally.”
-Mykal
“Inspiration’s my specialty.”
-Han Solo, Han Solo’s Revenge by Brian Daley
“You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”
-Jack London
“Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long.
-Leonard Bernstein
“I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled [poets] to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.”
-Socrates |
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
-Henry David Thoreau

“When I truly…truly need advice…and that I am alone for any reason…sometime I hear my mom…or I see her…It’s not a ghost, it’s not even her after all…it’s just me, that imagine this…Everyone knows deep down inside answers to their questions…well most of the time… what we need is … a spark, an inspiration…With that, you can do all you want...”

There are things in this world that we know are bad for us. We know, but we cannot help ourselves. Everyone is guilty of wanting something they shouldn’t have, and I’d wager that an equal amount are guilty of acting on those desires.
Today’s Topics: Temptation
“Resisting temptation is prayer.”
-Mykal Vecar, paladin of Midoran (dec)
“There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice.”
-Mark Twain
“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.”
-Oscar Wilde |
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.

Looks like I missed Friday's quote! Shame on Mykal. Anyways, here are a few random quotes on various subjects that I want to share.
Today's Topic: Grab Bag
"Huh?"
-Mykal, on forgetfulness
"When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable. "
-Madeleine L'Engle
"Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained. "
-William Blake, on desire
And one of my all time favorates
"Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot. "
-D. H. Lawrence, on passion. Emphasis added by Mykal |

Today's Topic: Government
No quotes from Mykal today...he has a dim view of most government, and so thinks that Prime Minister Churchill said it best.
"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."
-Winston Churchill
"Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."
-Thomas Paine
"They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program."
-George W. Bush *facepalm* |

Re: Mykal's Quote of the Day

Heh heh heh, something of a joke, my old man sent it over to me today. Hope nobody gets offended!
History began some 12,000 years ago. Humans existed as members of small
bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains
during the summer and, would go to the coast and live on fish and
lobster in winter.
The 2 most important events in all of history were the invention of beer
and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get men
to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and
together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into 2 district
subgroups: Liberals and Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered it required grain, and that was the beginning
of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented
yet, so while our early human ancestors were sitting around waiting for
them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how
villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night
while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known
as "the Conservative movement".
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live
off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's doing the
sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the
Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into
women. The rest became known as "girlymen".
Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats,
the invention of group therapy and group hugs and concept of Democratic
voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives
provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most
powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by
the jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added) but most prefer
white wine or imported bottle water. They eat raw fish but like their
beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.
Another interesting revolutionary side note: most of their women have
higher testosterone levels than their men.
Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in
Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the
designated hitter rule because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also
bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide
for their women.
Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks,
construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers,
corporate executives, soldiers, athletes and generally anyone who works
productively outside government.
Conservative who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work
for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to "govern" the producers
and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans
are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most liberals remained
in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after
the Wild West was tamed, and created a business of trying to get MORE
for nothing.
Here ends today's lesson in world history.
Not sure who said it, but I got a good laugh! |
