The Peanut Chronicles

AS most of my friends know, I collect quotes. Philosophy, music, poetry, political, anything really. I like finding quotes to fit my moods (which as vast and many). In fact, I invite anyone reading this to leave a quote. Most of these quotes go into my journal but often they pop up in my blogs as titles or in the writing.

Today was hilarious. I was out with Scorp, my new boss, getting coffee. I found a quote that I thought was poetic:

“It’s tragic that extremists co-opt the notion of God, and that hipsters and artists reject spirituality out of hand. I don’t have a fixed idea of God. But I feel it’s us-the messed up, the half crazy, the burning, the questing- that need God, a lot more then the goody two shoes do”

Ahhhh…. As Scorp pointed out, it’s kind of interesting to have philosophies printed on coffee cups. Yes, your morning latte and a thought for the day. Frigging ingenious.

I have started planning my road trip. It’s many years in the making. I am going to walk the American Discovery trail. I think I am going to do it when Nut goes to his first year of college. I’ll go out to Cali and walk across to DC. It’s something I have wanted to do and dreamed about. This is my quest. To follow that star. No matter how lonely. No matter how far.

(Quick, name that quote!)

Today while Nut and I were taking a bath (our new routine) I found not only Nut kicking the water rapidly but also… grabbing his penis. My god. He IS a boy. Always playing with his penis. I guess he has discovered his new toy. And I doubt he will ever stop playing with it. However, I am going to have to teach him not to grab himself in public.

oh yes... and I am still trying to fix my links. be paitent.

I forgot who said (maybe William Gibson) this but I like it:

Nothing splendid was ever achieved except by those who felt something inside them was superior to circumstance.; 9:45 PM

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstance.

As for quotes, I love them too! My favorite are on the bottles of Philosophy products!!! Nothing like lathering up reading an amazing quote, although as I type this, I am realizing that they aren't technically quotes, rather statements. Oh well, here's a good one:

"How you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. And, so it is with life, which for many of us becomes one big gigantic test followed by one big gigantic lesson. In the end, is all comes down to one word. Grace. It's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and the light."
