ALONG THE WAY, PROMISE BECAME REGRET
…Busy fun
times coming up.
Tonight I’m
seeing one of my favorite bands. These
guys:
I’m straight,
but I would have Chris Carrabba’s babies.
They're playing
with another band I love. These guys:
Tomorrow
night I’m reading a Phinney Books with a couple of friends. I still haven’t figured out what it is I’m
reading, but as soon as I post this I’ll get to work on choosing.
…I was at a
reading last night full of hipsters. The
two featured readers wrote a book together; a compilation of all their own favorite
tweets that they written over the years.
It felt like a hoax to me, and wasn’t very interesting. The odd thing was people in the audience were
really into it and laughing most of the time.
Maybe it’s a generational thing, though really I think it was a trick.
…Here are
some things I like on a gray-coated Wednesday:
“The world is
full of nice people. If you can’t find
one, be one.” Nishan Panwar
“Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.” Henry Ford
“Give me a
phrase and I’ll change the world.” Pascal
“Even the wind
feels empty.” Kim Barnes
“I am willing to remain and play the man's game if there are not enough
boats for more than the women and children.
Tell my wife I played the game straight out and to the end. No woman shall be left aboard this ship
because Ben Guggenheim is a coward.” -- Benjamin Guggenheim, Final words of
millionaire traveler aboard the ill-fated Titanic. As the boat began to sink Guggenheim changed
into formal dress and calmly faced death.
“The influence of each human being on others
in this life is a kind of immortality.” John Quincy Adams
"If
we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally
anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at
things" Henry Miller
