"You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming a$$h*le be a father."
-Keanu Reeves, Parenthood
"It's like your Aunt Edna's a$. It goes on forever and it's just as frightening."

Today's Topic: Parenthood
I give you a poem by Philip Larkin.
This Be The Verse
They f**k you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were f**ked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.
My thanks to Aranel for pointing this one out to me.
You missed one of your dirty words there fella. *grins* |

"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."
-Kurt Vonnegut
See this article for the place I saw this quote used. |

Insist on yourself; never imitate... Every great man is unique.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I pulled that quote somewhat randomly since Emerson has an entire essay that one could fit under topic of Pretending.
Also - Thanks for that article, I'd forgotten that the documentary was due out so I got a chance to watch it last night. |

One more, you know, for it's sake.
Today's topic: Nostalgia

And nodding by the fire, take down this book
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep."

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
-Henry David Thoreau
