~"A stiff apology is a second insult. The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt." -G.K. Chesterson.  no comment.

~'Blackbird on a Wire', by The Beautiful South because it reminds me of the devastating effects of passion.

Into the Wild, because i need to do some exploring in deeannland and the movie is a testament to movement on all levels.

hi gang. pull up a drink and sit for a spell.

i just got back from a somewhat whirlwind trip south; san luis, LA, san diego.  needed to get some thinking done before starting my new job tomorrow.  

i couldn't get far enough away fast enough.  some dreams are just not worth having, folks.  

while i was sitting in traffic- or what i call: The Great Equilizer- don't matter what you're driving, we're all here sitting- i had some thoughts.

there are forgotten things that shouldn't be.  here's a list.

1. Lou Graham of Foreigner

2. Eddy Grant (We're gonna rock down to/Electric Avenue/And then we'll take you higher)

3. Manners.  Learn them. Use them.

4. The beauty of a sigh

5. The remake of Eddy Grant's song that goes like this:  we're gonna walk down to/Kmart and buy some shoes/they only cost a dollar

6. The quiet toil and unwarranted respectfulness of trees

7. Ralphie in the Simpsons.  gawd he's good.

8. the definition of CONSIDERATION

i was also thinking that i'd like to have a bumper sticker that reads: "I brake for revenge"

and why aren't tail lights shaped like hearts? wouldn't that be ironic kinda if you paired them with my bumper sticker?

i got a few bumper sticker/t-shirt ideas:

>Help Fight Bedwetting

>Shedonism

>Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman (t-shirt for my gal pal Rachael- probably a copyright issue, methinks)

>Regard Structures. Salute Waters.

>Honk if You Hate the Gilmore Girls (my favorite)

>Sex&The City Blows

and so on.

i'm gonna go.  you have a good one, kids.  remember manners.

cheers, clink.
