To hell, my love, with you

“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
- Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

I want the colour

“What is it you’re interested in exactly?” the man asked slowly. “Just the color?”
“I think we both know,” said Adrian cunningly. “I want the color. I want the ‘bonus effects.’ And I want it to look badass. You probably can’t even do the design I want.”
“That’s the least of your worries,” said the guy. “I’ve been doing this for years. I can draw anything you want.”
“Yeah? Can you draw a skeleton riding a motorcycle with flames coming out of it? And I want a pirate hat on the skeleton. And a parrot on his shoulder. A skeleton parrot. Or maybe a ninja skeleton parrot? No, that would be overkill. But it’d be cool if the biker skeleton could be shooting some ninja throwing stars. That are on fire.”
“That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard,” said the tattooist.
“That’s not what the ladies are going to say,” said Adrian”

All else is unreal

“When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.”

... we are gifted...

"We must believe that we are gifted for something,
and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained."
~ Marie Curie

...muddling through the middle...

"Life is not so much about beginnings and endings as it is about going on and on and on.
It is about muddling through the middle."
~ Anna Quindlen

Flashback 2011- May

"I've been through the desert on a horse with no name,
It felt good to be out of the rain,
In the desert you can remember your name,
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain."

Flashback 2011- April

"How many roads must a man walk down,
Before you can call him a man?

Flashback 2011- January

"It's been a long cold lonely winter,
It feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the Sun, and I say
It's all right."

Flashback 2011

Have been anything but regular this year, but hope to fare slightly better in 2012.
Meanwhile, here is a sneak peak of what is in store over the next 12 days.
