Can of Worms

The house is quiet and there is a thunderstorm outside and it is lovely. Another day not as productive as it should of been....meaning I worked on my own projects instead of the ones I should have been committing time too- I sanded down my new table (its beautiful), cleaned my room, the kitchen, sat on the porch reading until the clouds rolled in and now it is grey and green outside. Its a deluge, it never rains this hard.

I am watching a film in spanish and it makes me really want to learn.

"How we spend our days is how we spend our lives." - Annie Dillard

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather my sparks should burn out in a blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnifivent glow, than asleep and permanent as a planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." - Jack London.

"If I had my life to live over again, I'd try to make more mistakes next time. I would relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I know of very few things I would take seriously. I would be crazier. I would be less hygenic. I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers and watch more sunsets. I would burn more gasoline. I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans. I would have more actual problems and fewer imaginary ones." - Nadine Stair
