About me: If you want to talk, you have to come inside the igloo...
On having an open mind:
"Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such." - Henry Miller
“Among the many thousands of things that I have never been able to understand, one in particular stands out. That is the question of who was the first person who stood by a pile of sand and said, "You know, I bet if we took some of this and mixed it with a little potash and heated it, we could make a material that would be solid and yet transparent. We could call it glass." Call me obtuse, but you could stand me on a beach till the end of time and never would it occur to me to try to make it into windows.” - Bill Bryson
Why do people with small minds always have such large mouths?" - unknown author
On Music:
I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music. - George Elliot
Play the music, not the instrument - unknown author
On Food:
My favorite animal is steak. - Fran Lebowitz
“To my mind, the only possible pet is a cow. Cows love you. . . . They will listen to your problems and never ask a thing in return. They will be your friends forever. And when you get tired of them, you can kill and eat them. Perfect.” - Bill Bryson
On Religion:
Everyone ought to worship God according to his own inclinations, and not to be constrained by force. - Flavius Josephus
My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust? - C.S Lewis
On Love:
Love is an exploding cigar we willingly smoke - Lynda Barry
Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others how we felt? Life would be intolerably bearable. - Randy K. Milholland
On Politics:
A conservative government is an organized hypocrisy. - Benjamin Disraeli
The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'. - Larry Hardiman

But the ppl are the nicest ppl EVA! they treat u like royalty, everything is cheap, everything is nice! i recommend for ne1 to go there, but like there are kids working on the streets trying to sell stuff for their parents bk in their villages, its horrible. Life there is so different, u dnt no how lucky u are until u see it first hand and jst go omg....this is horrible! their government should really do sumfin to help them! but yea it was great! how goes life?

Did you ever listen to the Mystery Jets, like I said? I have one of their songs on my profile, it's basically an homage to me, I think. Are you coming to Sydney on the 26th? I know you are because I facebook stalk you (accidentally), but what I really mean is are you coming to Campfire Chicken, and then World Bar (it's very classy, you get a teapot and everything).
How Old Skool am I using Myspace? I was checking the tour dates for Mystery Jets, see, who so happen to be in Sydney on Jan 4.
Well, here's a list of some bands/artists I've been into lately:
Sigur Ros Liam Finn Shai Hulud (approach with caution, very loud and very angry) Flight of the Conchords Foals Battles Lightspeed Champion The Grates Sam & Dave Flobots Conor Oberst Gallows Van She Phil Collins Deicide TV On The Radio Crowded House One Day as a Lion
No, got over IT stuff, I worked a while and managed to buy my car (2000 civic), latest macbook pro (only 15" 8600gt256 one), and I have my gaming machine to, e6750@3.5ghz, 8800gtx (getting old), 4 gig of ram, 2TB of hdd, and on a 22" screen, So i have a few bases covered, what macbook pro you got, I love this one, couldnt see why to pay so much more for the top 15" one... Sounds like your course is cool too! Tea house? I need to go get another job, as i just quit... ideas?
