Quotes of the Day:

"The old appeals to racial, sexual, and religious chauvinism, to rabid nationalist fervor are beginning not to work. A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism, and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed." -Carl 'Billions and Billions' Sagan.

"...But it doesn't matter, 'cus it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work. No job. No savings of money. Just a choice right now, between fear, and love." -Bill Hicks.

Zeitgeist:

I think that I'm going to add a new tag for my posts and call it "Must Watch!!". This will be the first addition. ...Must Watch!! Form your own opinion. Please share your thoughts, if you like doing that kind of thing. If you don't like things like that, you should do it anyway, because it might me fun. And fun is what it's all about. I think that's what life's about. In the big picture, what it boils down to is more or less: "Did you have fun?", "Did you find the love you were looking for?", "Did you help others have fun, and find the love that they were looking for?", "Did you find out who you really were?", and "Are you happy with your creations?".
