Happy anniversary to my parents.

I have not much to say if anything yet I hate having an empty page. I wish I could fix my archives, but they are uneditable. Maybe someday I will move to a "site" or "something" and will make them look the way they did, with the picture in the middle, etc., and possibly POSSIBLY get rid of the pink letters on dark background, I mean who wants to read something in that color scheme? What was I, on crack? THE CRACK? Anyway.

Sloths are cool-lookin.

Looking through an old journal for ideas and it was the saddest thing I've ever tried to force myself to read so picked up a different one but nothing in there I want to share so I will copy the quotes I included in there for whatever reason. You. Are. WELCOME.

Now that I've typed them, I'm coming back up here to say this feels so familiar. I think I did this already, at some point in the past year. Well, if so, consider this a rerun. A favorite episode. Something.

From "Reach" by Don Bajema:

"Let Us Pray

"Somewhere between a fight and a dance is the mystery of our true spirit. A secret that can turn moments into a history fit for human consumption. To let time nourish instead of erode, to let time nourish instead of erode, to let time nourish instead of erode. To let time nourish instead of erode."

From "Junky" by WSB:

"The environment was empty, the antagonist hidden, and I drifted into solo adventures."

Torn from a newspaper article:

"Greene quotes Senegalese conservationist Baba Dioum: 'In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, we will understand only what we are taught.'"

These are various paragraphs from a book on personality types by Keirsey/Bates (it's called PLEASE UNDERSTAND ME!, I shit you not):

"The almost preconscious conviction that pleasure must be paid for with pain can cause a sense of uneasiness in the family system of an INFP, who may transmit an air of being ever-vigilant against invasion."

"The deep commitment of INFPs to the positive and the good causes them to be alert to the negative and the evil, which can take the form of a fascination with the profane. Thus INFPs may live a paradox, drawn toward purity and unity but looking over the shoulder toward the sullied and desecrated. When INFPs believe that they have yielded to an impure temptation, they may be given to acts of self-sacrifice in atonement. The atonement, however, is within the INFP, who does not feel compelled to make public the issue."

"Unlike the NT, they see logic as something optional."
