I think that an old carpenter's hands are one of the most honest things in the world.

I think that not being able to make a car payment isn't quite the same as not having money do buy food or clothes.
Maybe what other countries hate about America isn't that we are rich and powerful, it's that we are spoiled and arrogant... maybe we need another depression to remind us what real poverty is.

Thought for the day

I was thinking of how much time I spend on the computer and how it is nearly as much of an extension of me as my arms or legs. Then there's my cell phone, iPod, stereo and TV. I am sure that the way my life is right now that I couldn't live without them...but often I wish I could.

Found Art

Sometimes the best art is accidental.

Hipness

Cannonball Adderley said in his introduction on the Cannonball Adderley Sextet in New York album that you cannot decide to be hip... you are either hip or you aren't. "Hipness" the tenor man said "isn't a state of mind: it's a fact of life".

Dad

The best thing anyone's given me, was from my dad. He married my mother and made her happy but more than that, he helped make me a better man, a better father and a better husband. Thanks dad. You are awesome.
