An inspiring quote to ponder

In the century now dawning, spirituality, visionary consciousness, and the ability to build and mend human relationships will be more important for the fate and safety of this nation than our capacity to forcefully subdue an enemy. Creating the world we want is a much more subtle but more powerful mode of operation than destroying the one we don't want.
- Marianne Williamson

I believe that with everything inside me.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
-Oscar Wilde

    When the moon is in the Seventh House
    And Jupiter aligns with Mars
    Then peace will guide the planets
    And love will steer the stars

    This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
    The age of Aquarius
    Aquarius!
    Aquarius!

    Harmony and understanding
    Sympathy and trust abounding
    No more falsehoods or derisions
    Golden living dreams of visions
    Mystic crystal revalation
    And the mind's true liberation
    Aquarius!
    Aquarius!

    In astrology, each age is led by the Zodiacal sign of the constellation in which the Sun actually appears at the vernal equinox in northern hemisphere. Nevertheless, as it is described above, this may not correspond to the actual constellation in the sky, since each age has a fixed 30-degree length and the constellations have variable lengths. The changes upon Earth are caused and marked by the influences of the given astrological sign, related to the northern hemisphere. However, the Age's influences are also complemented by the sign in which the autumnal equinox occurs (the autumnal equinox occurs in the southern hemisphere at the same time that the vernal equinox is occurring in the northern hemisphere). For example, the Age of Pisces (the Fish), vernal equinox, is complemented by the astrological sign of Virgo (the Virgin), autumnal equinox; for this reason the current Piscean age is called in astrology the "Age of Pisces-Virgo."

    Interesting stuff. Fish-Virgin. Where have I heard that before? I can't wait.
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    All I can visualize is the end of 40 Yr Old Virgin now when I hear that song. :D

    We starve-look
    At one another
    Short of breath
    Walking proudly in our winter coats
    Wearing smells from laboratories
    Facing a dying nation
    Of moving paper fantasy
    Listening for the new told lies
    With supreme visions of lonely tunes

    Somewhere
    Inside something there is a rush of
    Greatness
    Who knows what stands in front of
    Our lives
    I fashion my future on films in space
    Silence
    Tells me secretly
    Everything
    Everything

    Manchester England England
    Manchester England England
    Eyes look your last
    Across the Atlantic Sea
    Arms take your last
    embrace
    And I'm a genius genius
    And lips oh you the
    doors of breath
    I believe in God
    Seal with a righteous kiss
    And I believe that God believes in Claude
    Seal with a righteous kiss
    That's me, that's me, that's me
    The rest is silence
    The rest is silence
    The rest is silence

    [Singing]
    Our space songs on a spider web sitar
    Life is around you and in you
    Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie

    Let the sunshine
    Let the sunshine in
    The sunshine in
    Let the sunshine
    Let the sunshine in
    The sunshine in
    Let the sunshine
    Let the sunshine in
    The sun shine in...

    I think we all agree with that, but the problem is that good principled people on both sides want different "worlds."
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    Perfectly stated.



    Random Distraction:


    Truck Drivin' Song


    I'm drivin' a truck
    Drivin' a big ol' truck
    Pedal to the metal, hope I don't run out of luck
    Rollin' down the highway until the break of dawn
    Drivin' a truck with my high heels on

    My diesel rig is northward bound
    It's time to put that hammer down
    Just watchin' as the miles go flyin' by
    I'm ridin' twenty tons of steel
    But it's sure hard to hold the wheel
    While I'm waiting for my nails to dry

    Oh, I always gotta check my lipstick in that rear view mirror
    And my pink angora sweater fits so tight
    I'm jammin' gears and haulin' freight
    Well, I sure hope my seams are straight
    Lord, don't let my mascara run tonight

    Because I'm drivin' a truck
    Drivin' a big ol' truck
    Smokey's on my tail and my accelerator's stuck
    Got these eighteen wheels-a-rollin' until the break of dawn
    Drivin' a truck with my high heels on

    Oh, I don't mind when my crotchless panties creep right up on me
    And my nipple rings don't bother me too much
    But when I hit those big speed bumps
    My darling little rhinestone pumps
    Keep slippin' off the mother-lovin' clutch

    But still I'm drivin' a truck
    Drivin' a big ol' truck
    Headin' down the interstate, just tryin' to make a buck
    Wearin' feather boas with sequins and chiffon
    While I'm drivin' a truck with my high heels on

    I'm drivin' a truck
    Drivin' a truck
    Got a load to carry and some eyebrows left to pluck
    And I'm late for my appointment down at my hair salon
    So I'll be drivin' a truck with my high heels on



    :D
