“…Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand…” (the Skin Horse)
nigh night. 🙂

Moody.
Grumbly.
I’ve been missing out on gabbing with my sweetie today, and even if she was available, I’ve been bombarded with last minute fixit code, and would have had trouble chatting much anyhoo.
Bah.
Tomorrow’s my brother’s birthday… he’ll be 29. sakes. is that possible? I need to get him a nice treat to go with his cash. (he can use the cash more than a big prezzie)
I want to just fold my arms like a genie, and blink… make all of life’s little bugaboos go away. sadly, pods only possess low grade mind-reading powers… I’ll have to resort to love and charm to make folks feel good, instead. Including myself.
The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. Anything else is wishful thinking or an excuse for a budget.
I think it was watching mad tv on TNN last night… the same CD had convoy and other ‘storytelling’ songs. 🙂

Philosophy – my 100% – Thanks
Plato (427-347)
There is reason to act justly even if one can get away with acting unjustly.
There is a single, general, pure idea of goodness that all good things possess.
There is only one model of the just person.
Justice is a harmony of the soul: intellect, emotion, and desire.
The best activity is intellectual stimulation and the most important quality is a strong intellect.
The just person is pleased, not in a state of discord.
The conflict between one’s own good and the good of the community is NOT irresolvable.
I don’t know that I agree 100% with the statements made, but they’re pretty close.I do believe in emotional and spiritual fulfillment, too.
I’m still worried for/about her… I’m confident that she’ll be less anxious once she gets ‘back on track’ but I wish I could give her some sort of supplemental happiness, strength or good feelings. I love her so much, and want her to feel maximum goodness, and the absolute minimum downsides needed to make her healthy and complete. I can offer a strong arm, an accepting heart, and a willingness to ride with her through any troubles that may come… and of course all my love.
Hey, I’m a nice guy and all… but… look at me.
Let the Wookie win…it’s just a good idea.
One year ago today, I met my sweetheart.
I’m amazed… it hardly seems that long… I can certainly say that with her in my life, the quality and comfort level for me has gone way up. I can’t say enough how in love with her I am, and how delighted I am to be loved by her.
