"Well, you know the way I see it, if you’re here for four more years or four more weeks, you’re here right now. You know, and I think when you’re somewhere you ought to be there, and because it’s not about how long you stay in a place. It’s about what you do while you’re there, and when you go is that place any better for you having been there?"

"Spring has sprung. Free at last people. Free at last. Thank you Mother Nature, we’re free at last. Time to toss open that metaphorical window and check out the psychic landscape.
See lots of possibilities budding out there. It’s time to hoe those rows, feed that seed. Hey! Pretty soon you get a garden. (…)"

"Rain usually makes me feel mellow. Curl up in the corner time, slow down, smell the furniture. Today it just makes me feel wet. What is it about possessing things? Why do we feel the need to own what we love, and why do we become jerks when we do? We’ve all been there—you want something, to possess it. By possessing something you lose it. You finally win the girl of your dreams, the first thing you do is change her. The little things she does with her hair, the way she wears her clothes or the way she chews her gum. Pretty soon what you like, what you changed, what you don’t like, blends together like a watercolor in the rain."

"I think the saying is better to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all and if they didn’t say it, they should have."

You know that quote in the begining where Kane says, “it might be fun to run a newspaper”? Well, I think thats the way Orson Welles aproached this, “it might be fun to make a movie.” He didnt know what he was doing, and yet he did something that was perfect. Makes you think about what’s possible.

"I don’t know. Maybe it’s the yin and yang of sweet and salt—you know, the surprise of the peanut—the violence—the way it shreds up the soft palate. Just helps me focus."

"There’s a dark side to each and every human soul. We wish we were Obi-Wan Kenobi, and for the most part we are, but there’s a little Darth Vader in all of us. Thing is, this ain’t no either-or proposition. We’re talking about dialectics, the good and the bad merging into us. You can run but you can’t hide. My experience? Face the darkness. Stare it down. Own it. As brother Nietzsche said, being human is a complicated gig. So give that ol’ dark night of the soul a hug. Howl the eternal yes!"

Blood, the primordial ooze. Not out there listeners. In here, inside this - this skin we wear. It only lets us think we’re something else. Nice clean brains, little talking computers running around in the pursuit of happiness. We pierce the skin and what do we see? Hmm? Warm ooze, protoplasm. Churning, ingesting, defecating, pulsating. Life. Death.

Lovers and Madmen

[Chris on radio]

“Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, such shaping fantasies, that apprehend more than cool reason ever comprehends. 

The lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact.

One sees more devils than vast hell can hold. That is the madman.

The lover all as frantic, sees Helen’s beauty in a brow of Egypt…”

- Talking perceptions people. Do we - we really see each other for what we really are, or do we just see what we want to see? The image distorted by our own personal lenses?

About Me


I live in Baltimore, but I'm from Brazil. Watermelon is my favorite fruit, but I can’t settle on any other “just one favorite” choices. I love volleyball, but I haven’t played in a while. I love books, but I don’t really read all the time. I avoid watching movies that I know will make me cry, but I end up crying watching the ones I didn’t think I would anyways. I love cooking, but the results of my cooking are always a surprise. I absolutely need a pillow between my legs to fall asleep at night, but for naps I’m fine without it. I think going to the movies alone is empowering, but sometimes it's just plain sad. I like to think I’m not addicted to coffee, but if I don’t have any at least once a day I have withdrawal symptoms. I love dresses, but I don’t own a single one. I’m trying to figure things out, these are the ones I was able to do it so far. I’m still working on all the other ones. If you want to talk to me: grazielebb at yahoo dot com, feel free!
