DAVID Hume told his friend Mure of Caldwell of an incident which occasioned his "conversion" to Christianity. Passing across the recently drained Nor’ Loch, he slipped and fell into the mire. Hume, being then of great bulk, could not regain his feet. Some passing Newhaven fishwives seeing his plight, but recognising him as the well-known atheist, refused to rescue him until he became a Christian and had recited The Lord’s Prayer and the Creed. This he did, and was rewarded by being set again on his feet by these brawny women. Hume asserted thereafter that Edinburgh fishwives were the "most acute theologians he had ever met".

Life in a Love
Escape me?
Never --
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fear:
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed.
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall,
And, baffled, get up and begin again, --
So the chase takes up one's life, that's all.
While, look but once from your farthest bound
At me so deep in the dust and dark,
No sooner the old hope goes to ground
Than a new one, straight to the selfsame mark,
I shape me --
Ever
Removed!
Robert Browning

"We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over."

A nice sentiment, but it's often missattributed to Samuel Johnson. Rather, it's from James Boswell, part of commentary in his Life of Johnson, in the entry for September 19, 1777.

About me: Don't read much into all the schools I've taken classes through. I just have a wide variety of interests. (read as: Lacks Focus)
Who I'd like to meet: "...the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow ramen noodles exploding like spiders across the stars..."

Among the brief list of favorite videos (above) is a teaser for what is arguably the greatest movie ever made "Wings of Desire" by Wim Wenders.
The other videos simply represent segments of my life, usually, when something was happening, something which, more often than not, dealt me a lesson of some sort.
They touch on some of the memories I have.
