About me:
There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.
--A smart man, long ago....although he didn't bother telling us what the difference is. We sell books to both!

hey yo carries....we were talking about the velveteen rabbit the other day and i couldn't remember the quote from it but here it is: It doesnt happen all at once, " said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. Thats why it doesnt happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things dont matter at all, because once you are Real you cant be ugly, except to people who dont understand.

yeah i love it.
