The sun went down with practiced bravado. Twilight crawled across the sky, laden with foreboding.

In the great commons at Gaia’s Landing we have a tall and particularly beautiful stand of white pine, planted at the time of the first colonies. It represents our promise to the people, and to Planet itself, never to repeat the tragedy of Earth.

Dating is like a job interview
Published by 1 year, 8 months ago in Artists and TV series. 0 CommentsDating is pressure and tension. What is a date, really, but a job interview that lasts all night? The only difference between a date and a job interview is that in not many job interviews is there a chance you’ll end up naked at the end of it. “Well, Bill, the boss thinks you’re the man for the job. Why don’t you strip down and meet some of the people you’ll be working with?

Did I say something wrong? Sorry, pardon me for breathing which I never do anyway so I don’t know why I bother to say it. Oh, God, I’m so depressed!

A moral commandment
Published by 1 year, 8 months ago in Books, Novelists and Philosophers. 0 CommentsIf I were to speak your kind of language, I would say that man’s only moral commandment is: Thou shalt think. But a moral commandment is a contradiction in terms. The moral is the chosen, not the forced; the understood, not the obeyed.

They took the game right out of it.
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut,
And find Peter Pan.

I can honestly say, all the bad things that ever happened to me were directly, directly attributed to drugs and alcohol. I mean, I would never piss on a piece of stone at the fucking Alamo at nine o’clock in the morning dressed in a woman’s evening dress sober.

What’s the point of dating without games? How do you know if you’re winning or losing?

Everyone probably thinks that I’m a raving nymphomaniac, that I have an insatiable sexual appetite, when the truth is I’d rather read a book.

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We’d roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

The Church says the Earth is flat but I know that it is round. For I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the Church.

"… by the simple development of the contrary qualities"
Published by 1 year, 8 months ago in Historians. 0 CommentsThere are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.

We boggies are a hairy folk
Who like to eat until we choke.
Loving all like friend and brother,
And hardly ever eat each other.Ever hungry, ever thirsting.
Never stop till belly’s bursting.
Chewing chop and pork and muttons,
A merry race of boring gluttons.Sing: Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble,
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble.Boggies gather round the table,
Eat as much as you are able.
Gorge yourselves from moon till noon
(Don’t forget your plate and spoon).Anything edible, we’ve got dibs on,
And hope we all die with our bibs on.
Ever gay, we’ll never grow up,
Come! And sing and play and throw-up!Sing: Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble,
Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble.
