I don’t remember much about the day I was born
But that tunnel of light.
Even now it’s how I see the world.

Vonnegut.
A few Quotes from a great man.
" The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell Stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."
"I'm going to sue the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company, manufacturers of Pall Mall cigarettes, for a billion bucks! Starting when I was only twelve years old, I have never chain-smoked anything but unfiltered Pall Malls. And for many years now, right on the package, Brown and Williamson have promised to kill me. But now I am 82. Thanks a lot, you dirty rats. The last thing I ever wanted was to be alive when the three most powerful people on the whole planet would be named Bush, Dick and Colon."
"Welcome to Earth, young man. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It;s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of: Goddamn it, you've got to be kind!"
"Electronic Communities build nothing. You wind up with nothing. We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something. We are here on earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different."
"All I really wanted to do was give people the relief of laughing. humor can be a relief, like an aspirin tablet. If a hundred years from now people are still laughing, I'd certainly be pleased."

Twain
Perhaps one of my greatest role models is Mark Twain. He was remarkably smart,witty, and even sort of sexy ;). In my opinion there should be a bible written for him. The following are some of his quotes that inspire me most.
"All generalizations are false, including this one."
"All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure."
"Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today."
"Buy land, they're not making it anymore."
"Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please."
"Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life."
"It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand."

tooth
The tooth hung from a jar
Reminding us of the olden days
when teeth were in our mouths
or in a sandwich
or knocking against other teeths
