Courage is like a bit of spice in an otherwise bland dish. It just takes a small pinch for a spectacular difference. It is the difference between just thinking about something and actually doing it.
' Buy the ticket, take the ride'- Hunter S. Thompson

Today was a day of days. I received more validation than I have had in eons. My efforts to help others in the face-to-face world yielded some spectacular results today. It is much needed fuel to continue.

'Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get' - Mark Twain

One of the vital functions of the modern research university is to capture and retain the crackpots in the populations of Earth. Interest and curiosity traps were devised to lure these folks into various disciplines. They were named professors.

I'm convinced. Some people get fat just to be annoying.

'Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.' Helen Keller

One definition for faith is belief without proof. No matter how bad things seem, if you have some idea that you will get through it - you will.

'Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm schizophrenic, and so am I.' - Oscar Levant

'Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn't mean the circus has left town.' - George Carlin

This pretty much sizes up the political scene these days.

'An intellectual is a person who's found one thing that's more interesting than sex.' - Aldous Huxley

'Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.' -Arthur Schopenhauer
I love this quote. It helps me understand the radical differences in awareness from individual to individual.

Some individuals talk and talk never seeking to understand anything.

Have you ever just taken a break and looked at the people in your life. I did and I noticed that I am the only normal one. These people are crazy!😂😂😂

It's a beautiful Spring day here.

The kind compassionate competence that I seek in a partner is rare. I realize this so I am patient with these periods of scarcity.

Don't you just love it when somebody treats you really really nice and sends you about 50 tweets only at the end of it tries to sell you something really weird? It's an X thing. I thought I was having a conversation and suddenly I find myself in the middle of a sales pitch.

I try to be polite. I endeavor to be considerate. It's just that sometimes when someone is explaining something to me using what they think is logic. It all becomes hysterically funny. So I start laughing - a lot. This is perceived by some to be rude. It is just very funny.

Coffee is important to me. That is why I put so much into making it as perfect as I can. The first cup of coffee each day sets the tone for the day. It's just a fun thing to do in the morning making it as perfect as possible.
