vaguely depressive latin-speaking religion professor...no, i'm not religious myself, i just like to study it. kinda like how botanists like to study plants.
i did not have sex with a gay and try to blame it on jesus!
Life was charmed but without politics or religion. It was the life of children of the children of the pioneers -- life after God -- a life of earthly salvation on the edge of heaven...I think there was a trade-off somewhere along the line. I think the price we paid for our golden life was an inability to fully believe in love; instead we gained an irony that scorched everything it touched. And I wonder if this irony is the price we paid for the loss of God.
-- Douglas Coupland
And I wake up and I ask myself what state I'm in
And I say well I'm lucky, cause I am like East Berlin
I had this wall and what I knew of the free world
Was that I could see their fireworks and I could hear their radio
And I thought that if we met, I would only start confessing
And they'd know that I was scared and they'd know that I was guessing
But the wall came down and there they stood before me
With their stumbling and their mumbling and their calling out just like me.
-- Dar Williams
I'm not angry; I'm perplexed.
I'm not trying to find the meaning of life here at Kebaba's Tropical Fish Emporium.
But then again, where are you looking?

Wade through the deep expanses of boundless,
shining sky. Wherever you may go,
you'll prove the nonexistence of all gods.

Seymour once said that all we do our whole lives is go from one little piece of Holy Ground to the next. Is he never wrong?
-- J.D. Salinger
The groove is so mysterious. We're born with it and we lose it and the world seems to split apart before our eyes into stupid and cool. When we get it back, the world unifies around us, and both stupid and cool fall away. I am grateful to those who are keepers of the groove. The babies and the grandmas who hang on to it and help us remember when we forget that any kind of dancing is better than no dancing at all.
