I Hid My Eyes Behind Your Sofa

If the desire to write is not accompanied by actual writing,
then the desire is not to write.

Hrm.....

After the Senate banned waterboarding yesterday, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino claimed the “left wing” was trying to overtake the intelligence community:
They’ll have to ask themselves, ‘Do you trust the intelligence community more than you trust Democrats who are beholden to their left-wing?‘ And that’s the debate that this country is going to have.


"Do you trust the people who want to torture other people or not? I mean, really. Is this so hard?"

You want to read about me! I know it!

I only have 1200 characters to use? This is not enough to convey me, let alone cite my sources. You will have to settle for knowing me through what I write, and pretend that is me.

A collection of miscellany

Condoms will break, but I can assure you that vows of abstinence will break more easily than condoms.
- Dr. Joycelyn Elders

In fantasy, impossible things exist. In science fiction, impossible things exist and can be understood by humans. In supernatural horror, impossible things exist and cannot live in peace with humans.
- Will Shetterly

We are living in a time when you can believe anything, as long as you do not claim it to be true.
- Ravi Zacharia

Religion teaches the dangerous nonsense that death is not the end.
- Richard Dawkins

In the time of harmony the golden age is not in the past, it is in the future
- Paul Signac

"No" is the wildest word in the English language.
- Emily Dickinson

The middle ground between genuinely true and outright faking is unconscious delusion.
- Dean Radin

“You have to surrender to your mediocrity, and just write. Because it’s hard, really hard, to write even a crappy book. But it’s better to write a book that kind of sucks rather than no book at all, as you wait around to magically become Faulkner. No one is going to write your book for you and you can’t write anybody’s book but your own.”
— Cheryl Strayed
