It's Incredulous.: As it is.

As it is.

Calvin and Hobbes never gets old to me. Bill Watterson's wit on deep matters is so moving:

'Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."

I wish I could have grasped the wit as when I was younger. It's so well-written that all ages may enjoy it. I love it I love it.; 4:53 AM, March 05, 2008

Jesse said...: Weird...this does look slightly familiar. Is there a reason you were reading my blog anyway? Because I am pretty sure...no, wait, I'm sure...I don't know you.

I had never read your blog until after you left me that comment, dude. Sorry...you were not the inspiration. I was actually inspired by the C&H book I bought last week called 'There's Treasure Everywhere'.

Nice try, though.; 3:52 PM, March 06, 2008

The comfortable people want only wax moon faces, poreless, hairless, expressionless.

We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of growing on good rain and black loam. Even fireworks, for all their prettiness, come from the chemistry of the earth. Yet somehow we think we can grow, feeding on flowers and fireworks, without completing the cycle back to reality. Do you know the legend of Hercules and Antaeus, the giant wrestler, whose strength was incredible so long as he stood firmly on the earth? But when he was held, rootless, in midair, by Hercules, he perished easily. If there isn't something in that legend for us today, in this city, in our time, then i am completely insane.
