"Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come." ---Franz Kafka diary entry, October 18, 1921
Lois Lane wasn't a good enough writer to earn a college scholarship, so she had to get a part-time job to pay for Journalism School... ... however, the way Superman found out about her college years was sad, sick and just plain WRONG....
HAPPY MAY DAY!!! For decades, the first of May was celebrated as "International Workers Day" in the former Soviet Union (it was the Russian version of "Labor Day")
"And I got to thinking while she was talking That I know she told the story Of those special places that she goes When she rides with the others in the subway singin'... Don't turn around, uh-oh Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh You're in his eye And you'll know why The more you live The faster you will die." ----AFTER THE FIRE "Der Kommissar"
Everytime we have a wet spring, the basement floods. Everytime we have a flooded basement there is more damage to fix. This year we have to replace the hotwater tank, the furnace filters and couplings, part of the staircase and clean up the half-eaten remains of those guys who went down there to give me an estimate on the repair work.
"Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night...The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else...Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us." ----Rorschach "The Watchmen"
