How is it that I most frequently feel inspired to live life to the fullest immediatly after I have spent two solid hours sitting through a movie?

If you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original.

Tribal Zion (the pictures)

See 9-22-06

I saw the first time
red, powder hands; real as mine
I won't go closer.

Old Testament

A paper I wrote on a possible allegory I found in the Old Testament concerning the relationship and symbolism of the two oldest sons of the prophets.
Read it

Batter my heart

Batter my heart, three-person'd God ; for you
As yet but knock ; breathe, shine, and seek to mend ;
That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend
Your force, to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
I, like an usurp'd town, to another due,
Labour to admit you, but O, to no end.
Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,
But is captived, and proves weak or untrue.
Yet dearly I love you, and would be loved fain,
But am betroth'd unto your enemy ;
Divorce me, untie, or break that knot again,
Take me to you, imprison me, for I,
Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,
Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.

--John Donne
