About
This is where I share entirely un-random music, images, quotes and videos.Sometimes I write semi-personal things meant to be semi-public.
They're vaguely about my life and vaguely worded, just enough for you to vaguely relate.
If nothing else: look. laugh. listen.

“The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said:
“Man.
”
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. …because you’ve lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that’s bigger than you are and that controls you.”

“”Every person you have ever met, every person you will pass in the street today, is going to die. Living long enough, each will suffer the loss of his friends and family. All are going to lose everything they love in this world. Why would one want to be anything but kind to them in the meantime?”

“There is no such thing as a stupid question. Many people say that, but it really is true. Every question, no matter how ill-formed or ignorant of knowledge, is a request for knowledge, a request for information. It is an effort to understand better. Every time someone asks an honest question, it is an interrogation of nature, an attempt to unlock the secrets of the universe.”
