Love Quotes
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.- Captain Corelli's Mandolin

Cherish each moment
Pay heed to little things of life, for there isn't any big things.
Big things are just made up of little things.
If you take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves.
God has given us the ability to accomplish little things one at a time.
A book is written one word at a time, not all at once.
A garden is planted one seed at a time.
A life is lived one moment at a time.
If you learn to cherish each moment you will cherish your whole life.
The man, who pays heed to and learns to enjoy the little things, becomes both humble and patient.
Spend your life delighting in little things and loving them and you will find God everywhere and in everything

Orgasm at lunch...
Orgasm at lunch ... by: typical on Apr 16 2006 2:15AM in Creative
Well, it was lunch time then, and we were – my friend and I – just closing our respective plates. My greed for the grilled steak and vegetables on my platter satiated, I found myself, while still waiting for him to finish his lunch, concentrating on the other subtle properties of nature. Concentrating that is, on issues that I thought addressed the intellectual characteristics of an individual - which I undoubtedly prided myself to be abundantly gifted with!
But before I get on with those subtleties that were pondered upon in my mind, I need to make it very clear right upfront, that it was indeed orgasm that I had meant. And yet, all those millions of years ago (as it seems to me now) when it came out of my mouth, (as I’ve noticed invariably happening only with me!) it came out as: “Rape is so similar to hunger, no? Once the need is satiated one wonders about the urgency!”
Ok! I got it too – the 'blasphemy' of what was said, unintended as it was! Fine, so it was (as always) only after those golden words had fallen off my mouth!!! And to add to the lead that was slowly settling in my mind since the moment of that realization, my friend - who was perhaps from a more conservative school of thought, looking pitifully pale at my insolence, could manage only a: “How can you be saying things like that???”
Frequently since then though, even I have found myself wondering what the hell it was that I was trying to say!!! Rape and hunger!!! But like I mentioned at that pause in my narrative, it was all about orgasm – atleast in my mind. But I still cringe at the thought of having said something like that! And yes, possibly more so, because I had said that to someone like him! (I still haven’t been able to ‘cure’ my reputation with him!)
But sometime later, in order to ‘correct’ things in the axis of my mind, I tried bringing up this talk with someone else, more matured (as I decided anyone who thought he/she could make sense of my ideas would be!) and less agitated at having to face the ‘truths’ of life. And Voila! There – I got just the response I was hoping for – “Yeah!” said a set of whole popped-out-eyes, right above a wide toothed grin that had somehow suddenly seemed to cover a nose that was previously present! She had, it seems, understood it just the way I hoped to have made her see it!
But through the unintended though understandably sacrilegious nature of that ‘comparison’, I found myself staring at another perspective… the advantage of ‘speaking it out’ that is… it helps, in weird ways! Here’s how…
Remember that algebra sum you thought you understood exactly how the solution was arrived at while watching the teacher break it down on the black board until you actually got down to solving the problem on your own? It is quite like that – the hitches in comprehension ironing out only upon doing (saying or thinking something loud) on your own!
Similarly, once in a while, it takes talking out loud – even about the most blasphemous things, to be able to understand (in ourselves) the truth about those which really are not! And that might help in reclaiming the glory of all that we shoved away previously for the fear of non acceptance – by even those that most of the time don’t even come into our lives. Because sometimes, hearing oneself speak out helps put things back in the right contexts, calming away the threats lurking around in those thoughts, unlike what may have happened in the isolated silences of our mind! It is not only so about Orgasm - it works as true with Class, Culture, Religion, Racism, or any of those points in a discussion that turn out to be 'dead-ends' even before the start of a conversation! (Of course it would help better if you do that with someone who thought alike or appreciated that kind of thinking as much as you did too!)
Likewise, Orgasm in proximity to Rape in my mind, finally showed itself to me as virtuous as it actually is supposed to be – the high point temple of indulgence! And thereon, the traditional cloak of modesty that it was made to adorn in social conversations through giggling whispers or raised eyebrows, giving it the texture of something despicable, shed off from my mind – just like that! In other words, I began seeing it for what it really stood for – for all the pleasures that it could bring while one indulged in it!
I can’t help but think though, that strange as it is, while Orgasm remained shrouded between embarrassed-whispers, leaving it unclaimed even in literature sometimes, Rape got away easily, in the very same gathering, during discussions, in the garb of social concern for pain and injustices. Not belittling nevertheless in any manner the empathy towards those that endure such untellable sorrow, it must still be a bizarre era – this that we live in, where pain and miseries can evoke such extended debates and discussions while pleasures even such as Orgasm are conversed about in undertones of ‘knowing smiles’ or otherwise tossed around into a category for the ‘higher’ intellect!

good old aesop
There was once a house that was overrun with Mice. A Cat heard ofthis, and said to herself, "That's the place for me," and off she wentand took up her quarters in the house, and caught the Mice one by oneand ate them. At last the Mice could stand it no longer, and they determined to take to their holes and stay there.
"That's awkward,"said the Cat to herself: "the only thing to do is to coax them out bya trick." So she considered a while, and then climbed up the wall and let herself hang down by her hind legs from a peg, and pretended tobe dead.
By and by a Mouse peeped out and saw the Cat hanging there."Aha!" it cried, "you're very clever, madam, no doubt: but you may turn yourself into a bag of meal hanging there, if you like, yet youwon't catch us coming anywhere near you."
If you are wise you won't be deceived by the innocent airs of those whom you have once found to be dangerous.
THE MISCHIEVOUS DOG
There was once a Dog who used to snap at people and bite them without
any provocation, and who was a great nuisance to every one who came to
his master's house. So his master fastened a bell round his neck towarn people of his presence. The Dog was very proud of the bell, and strutted about tinkling it with immense satisfaction. But an old dogcame up to him and said, "The fewer airs you give yourself the better,my friend. You don't think, do you, that your bell was given you as areward of merit? On the contrary, it is a badge of disgrace."
Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.

she is awesome
It taught me that time is precious
nothing in life or the universe is static
randomness of unusual events is something to be embraced,
not foughtthere are people from my own tribe out there,
I just had to go to the right spot to find them,
that I can make people laugh and connect with me on many deep levels
I am not a freak, oddball, too intense or passionate with this tribe
that I can be a freak, oddball and intense and passionate without having people run away from me with this tribe
life is full of surprises - and it's those surprises that make life a learning and loving experience
there are many opportunities in new beginnings
the world is my oyster
Besides the mind blowing sex (and apparently, some men think that I was just waaay amazing with my oral sex technique...),
I went by myself - for 10 days in a big big city and came back more than okay.
I went there, found myself and came back new.
I happened to stumble across a quote and site that once again,
popped up at the perfect time and says all the things I want to say,
and now believe in implicitly.(did a gig last night - it was great! 15 hours of shooting but hell!
We ate and ate and sipped martinis the whole evening and shooters at night - and this was on company time!!! LOL!
What a welcome back!)So as it stands now - I will be making my trek there at the end of November/beginning of December.
I heard that winter in the city is quite beautiful...You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.

Personal relationships and privacy
Do not assume that you know everything there is to know about a writer simply because you read their weblog on a regular basis. Any judgements you make will be based on the information they have provided you about themselves, which is probably vague, incomplete or embellished. Whatever opinion you form on them as people, or their life as a whole, is probably best kept to yourself. Remember, you are the reader. An obvious exception to this would be if someone were asking for advice or opinions.Never contact the writer for more details on events or personal information than what they have already provided on the site. Chances are if the information you seek isn't readily available, they have found it too personal or innapropriate to share. If you are close to the person they will eventually tell you privately, so intrusive questions are not necessary, just leave it alone. If you are meant to know, you will.If you have a real life relationship with the writer, remember that communication is very important. View weblogs as online journals, no less sacred than a diary hidden between the mattresses. First of all let them know that you read their site, especially if they did not tell you personally.If they do not want you reading it, or suddenly stop posting entries, ask them why and if necessary, stop going to the site. It is important that as a friend, relative, co-worker or whatever you may be to the writer, that your presence at their weblog not impede their ability to express themselves. Remember this is their outlet. They may not want you to read certain things they might write about you or others you care about, in order to spare your feelings, avoid drama or maintain their privacy. You should respect this and immediately stop going to the site, and never relay any information you gather at their site to others who might use it against them.If someone writes about you and you don't appreciate it, approach them about it. Try to remain calm and polite. Explain that you are entitled to your privacy as well. There are many compromises that can be reached from using vague nicknames to protect your anonymity, or not mentioning you at all. If you are upset because they are writing negative things about you, be reasonable, try to see if there is a way to resolve the issues and mend your relationship with the writer. If that doesn't seem to be possible, stop going to the website. They will eventually get bored and move on.Ex-friends, lovers and estranged family members who have been cut out of the writer's life should refrain from reading their journal. If the relationship has ended, there is no reason you should get daily updates on the person's life. If you simply can't help yourself, do it quietly, and never repeat what you read or use it to hurt the writer.
Feedback and initiating contactIf they have a guestbook, sign it. Compliments will always be graciously accepted and appreciated. Criticisms and reproaches are fine if you have a problem with something, but try to remain constructive and not be an asshole. No one is forcing you to give out your opinions, so if you don't have anything remotely positive to say, it may be best to keep quiet.When contacting a person for the first time, have a clue. If they have a detailed biography and personal information that describes their life from the day they were born, chances are they won't appreciate you wasting their time asking them how old they are or where they live. Writers put a lot of thought and time into their sites, so take the time to read the information they provide you with before you ask for more.Never assume a writer owes you any response. They may receive from a few to hundreds of messages per day. Some will gladly write back immediately, others will never reply. Try not to take it personally, because chances are it has more to do with their schedule than anything else. If you get upset and nasty about feeling rejected, you will probably ruin any chances you had of befriending the person.Don't delude yourself into thinking that you will be as important to the writer as he/she is to you. Remember, you are peering in on their life, sharing their thoughts, and though they may become quite special to you, you remain a mystery to them. If they are cold or unreceptive to your advances, keep in mind that you are a stranger to them at this point, and they may or may not want to keep it that way. It's entirely their choice.Don't be a psycho stalker.You shouldn't contact people with messenger services unless they list their handles on their website. If you got it from someone else, forget you ever had it, they probably meant to keep it somewhat private.A writer has the right to stop writing at any time for any reason they see fit, and at no point must they justify or explain these reasons to you or any of their readers. It's their weblog, they can do with it as they please.
Offensive language and materialsThe internet is a place that encourages free and creative expression, and as in any environment where people are given this freedom, conflict may arise. If an author uses language or materials that offend you, leave. Contacting the person or their isp, demanding they remove the content or change their ways is absurd because you are viewing their content of your own free will by visiting their site. Simply stop going there and you won't have to see whatever it is you don't like about the site. An obvious exception to this would be if someone were providing illegal materials, in which case it would be appropriate to complain to their isp or contact wuthorities.
Copyright and courtesyNever ask someone to make you a layout, to help with your site or show you how to do a certain script or graphic effect that they have on their site, unless they specifically offer their help. There are plenty of tutorials available to help you, just use a search engine to find what you need.Never use anything off a person's site, be it writing, images or html code, unless they say otherwise. People are very attached to their work and don't usually respond well when others help themselves to it. Copyright is protected by law and in effect the minute something is created, whether the author has a © notice or not. There are online tools where you can learn about copyright laws like What is Copyright?and Redistribution In Graphics Has To Stop.Under no circumstances should you ever direct link anything, this includes link buttons and any other graphics the writer may offer. Direct linking is when you type something like
to display the yahoo link button, instead of actually saving it and uploading it on to your server. It is essentially bandwidth theft, because it uses data transfer, and the owner of the server has to pay for it. Always save the image and upload it to your own server unless the author specifically states you can do otherwise.
Do not assume that you know everything there is to know about a writer simply because you read their weblog on a regular basis. Any judgements you make will be based on the information they have provided you about themselves, which is probably vague, incomplete or embellished. Whatever opinion you form on them as people, or their life as a whole, is probably best kept to yourself. Remember, you are the reader. An obvious exception to this would be if someone were asking for advice or opinions.Never contact the writer for more details on events or personal information than what they have already provided on the site. Chances are if the information you seek isn't readily available, they have found it too personal or innapropriate to share. If you are close to the person they will eventually tell you privately, so intrusive questions are not necessary, just leave it alone. If you are meant to know, you will.If you have a real life relationship with the writer, remember that communication is very important. View weblogs as online journals, no less sacred than a diary hidden between the mattresses. First of all let them know that you read their site, especially if they did not tell you personally.If they do not want you reading it, or suddenly stop posting entries, ask them why and if necessary, stop going to the site. It is important that as a friend, relative, co-worker or whatever you may be to the writer, that your presence at their weblog not impede their ability to express themselves. Remember this is their outlet. They may not want you to read certain things they might write about you or others you care about, in order to spare your feelings, avoid drama or maintain their privacy. You should respect this and immediately stop going to the site, and never relay any information you gather at their site to others who might use it against them.If someone writes about you and you don't appreciate it, approach them about it. Try to remain calm and polite. Explain that you are entitled to your privacy as well. There are many compromises that can be reached from using vague nicknames to protect your anonymity, or not mentioning you at all. If you are upset because they are writing negative things about you, be reasonable, try to see if there is a way to resolve the issues and mend your relationship with the writer. If that doesn't seem to be possible, stop going to the website. They will eventually get bored and move on.Ex-friends, lovers and estranged family members who have been cut out of the writer's life should refrain from reading their journal. If the relationship has ended, there is no reason you should get daily updates on the person's life. If you simply can't help yourself, do it quietly, and never repeat what you read or use it to hurt the writer.
Feedback and initiating contactIf they have a guestbook, sign it. Compliments will always be graciously accepted and appreciated. Criticisms and reproaches are fine if you have a problem with something, but try to remain constructive and not be an asshole. No one is forcing you to give out your opinions, so if you don't have anything remotely positive to say, it may be best to keep quiet.When contacting a person for the first time, have a clue. If they have a detailed biography and personal information that describes their life from the day they were born, chances are they won't appreciate you wasting their time asking them how old they are or where they live. Writers put a lot of thought and time into their sites, so take the time to read the information they provide you with before you ask for more.Never assume a writer owes you any response. They may receive from a few to hundreds of messages per day. Some will gladly write back immediately, others will never reply. Try not to take it personally, because chances are it has more to do with their schedule than anything else. If you get upset and nasty about feeling rejected, you will probably ruin any chances you had of befriending the person.Don't delude yourself into thinking that you will be as important to the writer as he/she is to you. Remember, you are peering in on their life, sharing their thoughts, and though they may become quite special to you, you remain a mystery to them. If they are cold or unreceptive to your advances, keep in mind that you are a stranger to them at this point, and they may or may not want to keep it that way. It's entirely their choice.Don't be a psycho stalker.You shouldn't contact people with messenger services unless they list their handles on their website. If you got it from someone else, forget you ever had it, they probably meant to keep it somewhat private.A writer has the right to stop writing at any time for any reason they see fit, and at no point must they justify or explain these reasons to you or any of their readers. It's their weblog, they can do with it as they please.
Offensive language and materialsThe internet is a place that encourages free and creative expression, and as in any environment where people are given this freedom, conflict may arise. If an author uses language or materials that offend you, leave. Contacting the person or their isp, demanding they remove the content or change their ways is absurd because you are viewing their content of your own free will by visiting their site. Simply stop going there and you won't have to see whatever it is you don't like about the site. An obvious exception to this would be if someone were providing illegal materials, in which case it would be appropriate to complain to their isp or contact wuthorities.
Copyright and courtesyNever ask someone to make you a layout, to help with your site or show you how to do a certain script or graphic effect that they have on their site, unless they specifically offer their help. There are plenty of tutorials available to help you, just use a search engine to find what you need.Never use anything off a person's site, be it writing, images or html code, unless they say otherwise. People are very attached to their work and don't usually respond well when others help themselves to it. Copyright is protected by law and in effect the minute something is created, whether the author has a © notice or not. There are online tools where you can learn about copyright laws like What is Copyright?and Redistribution In Graphics Has To Stop.Under no circumstances should you ever direct link anything, this includes link buttons and any other graphics the writer may offer. Direct linking is when you type something like
to display the yahoo link button, instead of actually saving it and uploading it on to your server. It is essentially bandwidth theft, because it uses data transfer, and the owner of the server has to pay for it. Always save the image and upload it to your own server unless the author specifically states you can do otherwise.

George Santayana Quotes
A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.
George Santayana
A man's feet should be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world. George Santayana
A string of excited, fugitive, miscellaneous pleasures is not happiness; happiness resides in imaginative reflection and judgment, when the picture of one's life, or of human life, as it truly has been or is, satisfies the will, and is gladly accepted.

I like to walk about among the beautiful things that adorn the world; but private wealth I should decline, or any sort of personal possessions, because they would take away my liberty. George Santayana
If pain could have cured us we should long ago have been saved. George Santayana
In endowing us with memory, nature has revealed to us a truth utterly unimaginable to the unreflective creation, the truth of immortality... The most ideal human passion is love, which is also the most absolute and animal and one of the most ephemeral. George Santayana
In Greece wise men speak and fools decide. George Santayana
In 1893, Santayana experienced a metanoia, a change of heart. Gradually he altered his style of life from that of an active student turned professor to one focused on the imaginative celebration of life. In doing so, he began planning for his early retirement, finding university life increasingly less conducive to intellectual pursuits and delight in living. Three events preceded his metanoia: the unexpected death of a young student, witnessing his father's death, and the marriage of his sister Susana. Santayana's reflections on these events led to the ancient wisdom that acceptance of the tragic leads to a lyrical release. “Cultivate imagination, love it, give it endless forms, but do not let it deceive you. Enjoy the world, travel over it, and learn its ways, but do not let it hold you … . To possess things and persons in idea is the only pure good to be got out of them; to possess them physically or legally is a burden and a snare (Persons and Places, 427-28).”

a moment of clarity as seen by Kerry ...
perhaps, like me,
you have been focusing to much time, energy, and faith on someone other than yourself?
this leads to sadness darlings.
happiness, true happiness, is found from within ones self.
for when we are balanced and secure from deep inside of our inner self,
the darkness can't penetrate our souls
and cause; anger, confussion, fear, and hopelessness.
focus for me darling!
focus on your best quality.
find the serenity which lives deep inside of your soul.
soar freely on your wings
which are full of grace and love.
free you passion-be yourself...
dat was a moment of clarity as seen by Kerry

why girls love mature 'men' rather than 'boyz'
'u saw me crying in the chapel'
'i will be doing my crying in the rain'
'tere bina kya jeena'
'tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree'
'money cant buy me love'
'the indecent proposal'
'main love ke liye, kucch bhi karoonga'
'i didnt promise u a rose garden'
and,
'frankly lady, i dont give a damn'
and guys,
First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
But now you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should've changed that stupid lock
I should've made you leave you key
If I'd of known for just on second you'd be back to bother me
Boy now go
Walk out the door
Don't turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
Who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down and die
Oh no nah no
Walk out the door
Don't turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
Who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down die
Oh no not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Todos de pies,
todo mundo...
eso Talk about talk about talk about Talk about it
Talk about talk about talk about movin'
Gotta move on
Gotta move on
Gotta move on
Won't you take me to Funky Town
Won't you take me to Funky Town
Won't you take me to Funky Town
Won't you take me to Funky Town
Let me hear you IT guys, India!
