a tragicomedy in one act

Bookstore Clerk: Hi, how are you today?
Me: Good, thanks. How are you?
BSC: Another day in paradise. [smiles]
Me: [laughs politely] Yep.
Female Customer: Did you say "in Paris" or "in paradise?"
BSC: In paradise.
FC: Phil Collins has a song called "Another Day in Paradise." Did you know that?
BSC: [slighty taken aback] No, I didn't. I don't really like Phil Collins' music.
FC: It's a good song, very sad.
BSC: [dejected] Now I have to come up with a new phrase.
FC: Oh, I'm sorry.
Me: [laughing] She took away your paradise, man. [exits store]

Taken earlier this evening, the above photo is perhaps the closest representation/distillation of how my life currently is. I have not been this happy, this at peace, this me in years. And it is only going to get better.

quote of the day

It turns out that only twenty percent of human beings have a sense of irony — which means that eighty percent of the world takes everything at face value. I can’t imagine anything worse than that. Okay, maybe I can, but imagine reading the morning newspaper and believing it all to be true on some level. -- from JPod by Douglas Coupland

Can't sleep -- clowns will eat me

quote of the day

No one asks you to throw Mozart out of the window. Keep Mozart. Cherish him. Keep Moses too, and Buddha and Lao Tzu and Christ. Keep them in your heart. But make room for the others, the coming ones, the ones who are already scratching on the window-panes. -- Henry Miller

quote of the day

There are three endings to a process:
A finish, where something is lost;
A conclusion, where nothing is lost;
A completion is a new beginning.
-- Robert Fripp

A completion in my life is about-to-be-becoming.
May I have the courage to greet it with cheer.

gripe of the day

It's hard to open my heart when I'd much rather open your skull.

For those of us who still love to hold physical packaging while we listen, poring over every visual detail and liner note. For those of us who still think of a cover/sleeve/case and its contents as a unified whole:

quote of the day

Holding onto anger is like grasping onto a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else. You are the one who gets burned.
Gautama Buddha
