People who do the dirty jobs that just need doing, the ones who's names you will never learn when they do their job right.
"The only way to atone for being occasionally a little over-dressed is by being always absolutely over-educated."
Last of the Southern Aristocracy, and currently educated to the point where I am over qualified out of most jobs. Addicted to learning about everything and then talking about it. Other than that I'm just this guy you know?
"God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time."
- Good Omens, Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone that can stimulate my mind, really I just crave thought provoking and intellectual conversation at times, why I look for it on the internet or myspace, I just don't know, but I guess I hold out for the outstandingly unique to pop into my life from every direction. If I can't have the sharpness and smartness of minds meeting, then I can always settle for physical and sartorial splendor to stare at whilst pining for deep thoughts.
I have what I want in my family.
"There are kisses and kisses. Some are given in sport and some in passion. There are formal kisses of greeting and departure, and there are perfunctory pecks of accustomed affection. Once in a great while lips meet and two spirits merge for a time and the universe is right and complete and the planets wheel in their proper places. Once in awhile the lonely, broken spirit of man is healed and made whole. For awhile his quest is over and his questions are answered." For Us, The Living, Robert A. Heinlein
Serendiptiy- Noun The effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.
A great and wonderful word that we can thank Mr Horace Walpole for coining 253 years ago in a letter dated January 28, 1754. It was also a great movie.
