“I stopped in the middle of that building and I saw— the sky. I saw the things that I love in this world. The work and the food and time to sit and smoke. And I looked at the pen and said to myself, what the hell am I grabbing this for? Why am I trying to become what I don't want to be? What am I doing in an office, making a contemptuous, begging fool of myself, when all I want is out there, waiting for me the minute I say I know who I am!”
-Arthur Miller (Death of a Salesman)

Thanks for reminding me to cut my blue jeans into shorts. I almost forgot
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow!"

"You talk as if a god had made the Machine," cried the other. "I believe that you pray to it when you are unhappy. Men made it, do not forget that. Great men, but men. The Machine is much, but it is not everything. I see something like you in this plate, but I do not see you. I hear something like you through this telephone, but I do not hear you. That is why I want you to come. Pay me a visit, so that we can meet face to face, and talk about the hopes that are in my mind."
-E.M. Forster (The Machine Stops)

Fuck it, I'm just going to say it. I have a crush on nostr:nprofile1qqszzv6swdqp5vgveytelca806txvugvlhmrph7cgruh9svr5fztrtgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5q32amnwvaz7tmwdaehgun9d35hgetn9ehhyecxzlqcg. I've been trying to ignore it, but she keeps posting about being single and I can't help it. I haven't really tried to date anyone in years for personal reasons I won't go into here, but I'm a much different person now than I was when I gave up on it. Maybe it's time to give it another try.
So I'm shooting my shot here publicly for all to see. nostr:nprofile1qqszzv6swdqp5vgveytelca806txvugvlhmrph7cgruh9svr5fztrtgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5q32amnwvaz7tmwdaehgun9d35hgetn9ehhyecxzlqcg, will you go out with me? (Just ignore the fact that we live 1000+ miles apart)
Respect 🫡
