The Precise Behavior of Exceptions

The Precise Behavior of Exceptions

Did life turn out the way you thought it would be when you were a kid? What you expected is probably what you got (unless you were unlucky); and if you didn’t expect much, that is also probably what you got. But no matter how well you planned (or didn’t plan), be honest– your life didn’t turn out exactly like you thought it would happen. For better or worse, one thing is certain: There were surprises and exceptions along the way.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.
Quotation from Dennis Wholey

We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.
Quotation from Henry David Thoreau

Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu

I want to be free. No responsibilities. Sitting in a cafe drinking kir royale while reading a book, observing life and people between the pages until they become real.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
Quotation from Steve Jobs, Commencement address delivered to Stanford University

Kick Boxing

It’s like being in high school and knowing I’ll graduate in six months. The real world is out there and I’m wondering what I’m going to do. People tell me: “Some day you’ll look back at this and think how wonderful it was.” Ha!

Richard Vernon: What did you want to be when you were young?
Carl: When I was a kid, I wanted to be John Lennon.
Richard Vernon: Carl, don’t be a goof. I’m making a serious point here.
Quotation from the movie The Breakfast Club

Andrew Clark: You don’t have any goals.
John Bender: Oh but I do.
Andrew Clark: Yeah?
John Bender: I wanna be just like you. I figure all I need is a lobotomy and some tights.
Another quotation from the movie The Breakfast Club

Merry Christmas

A wish for world peace from me to you. Merry Christmas.

Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious.
Quotation from Francis C. Farley

Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts.
Quotation from Janice Maeditere

Don’t worry. Eventually, everyone meets in the middle…

Don’t worry. Eventually, everyone meets in the middle…

It’s said that looks don’t matter because eventually everybody meets in the middle anyway. But ohhh, what easier paths some people have getting there than others.

Full Version. Win Susan Win. Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent (YouTube video)
Euphoria, unease at UK web singing sensation Boyle (Reuters) “Is Susan Boyle ugly? Or are we? By raising this Susan up, we will forgive ourselves for grinding every other Susan into the dust.”

Dreaming of Horses

I sleep better when i fluff my pillow. I fall asleep faster and have better dreams.

I like dancing at the disco.
I want blisters. You’re my leader.
I wanna ride on a white horse,
I want to ride on a white horse.
Oh I love this feeling. Feels like forever.
Oh I love this feeling, it feels like real leather.
Lyrics from Goldfrapp, Ride a White Horse

Right into the stars he reared aloft, his red eye rolling and raging.
He whirled and sunfished and lashed, and rocked the earth to thunder and flame.
He squealed like a regular devil horse. I was haggard and spent and aging—
Roped clean, but almost storming clear, his fury too fierce to tame.
And I cursed myself for a tenderfoot moon-dazzled to play the part.
Poem by William Rose Benét, The Horse Thief

What Happened to the Sandman?

What Happened to the Sandman?

I’m not comfortable with the concept of a Sandman (Marchand du Sable). The idea of anyone sneaking into my bedroom to put milk or sand in my eyes creeps me majorly. Plus Plus Plus… Did you know the brother of the Sandman is Death? Yes, it’s horrifyingly true.

Mr. Sandman, I’m so alone.
Don’t have nobody to call my own.
Please turn on your magic beam,
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.
Lyrics to Mr. Sandman by the Chordettes

Hush little baby, dont say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
Its just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head.
Lyrics to Enter Sandman by Metallica

Why Goal-Oriented People Shouldn’t Make Lists

Making a list is part of the process towards completing a goal. But in life, it seems prudent to make your list open-ended. Also, no matter how much time you have left, don’t hurry.

1. Witness something truly majestic 2. Help a complete stranger for a common good 3. Laugh till I cry 4. Drive a Shelby Mustang 5. Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world 6. Get a tattoo 7. Skydiving 8. Visit Stonehenge 9. Spend a week at the Louvre 10. See Rome 11. Dinner at La Cherie d’Or 12. See the Pyramids 13. Get back in touch 14. Visit Taj Mahal, India 15. Hong Kong 16. Victoria Falls 17. Serengeti 18. Ride the Great Wall of China.

Don’t let your sweet dreams bite you on the ass

Don’t let your sweet dreams bite you on the ass

I hate having bad dreams. Usually, I can tell them to go away but still they sneak up on me. I know subconsciously we learn to master our fears through dreaming. I know too, just as planes crash and cities get buried under mud, sometimes nightmares are real. They scare me.

Slideshow: Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite (eMedicineHealth.com)
Night Terrors Resource Center (NightTerrors.org)

I was like a social worker for lepers. My clients had a chunk of their body they wanted to give away; for a price I was there to receive it. Crimes, sins, nightmares, hunks of hair: it was surprising how many of them has something to dispose of. The more I charged, the easier it was for them to breathe freely once more.
Quotation from Tama Janowitz, Slaves of New York
