RB philosophy -- while doing my laundry
I'M A STAR, YOU'RE A STAR
You're a star--and so am I.
I'm a genius--and so are you.
Your brilliance doesn't diminish my charisma, and vice versa.
Those are the new rules in the New World we're creating. That's different from the Old World, where your greatness is supposed to make me feel envious, and all of us are allegedly in competition for the rare privilege of being a well-appreciated winner. In the New World, you don't have to play down or apologize for your prowess, because you love it when other people shine. You exult in your own mastery without regarding it as a sign of inherent superiority. As you ripen more of your latent aptitude, you inspire others to claim more of their own idiosyncratic magnificence.

delayed this morning -- snow on the roads -- can't get to the gym. SO I watched "Elizabethtown". My favorite part:
you're an artist!
You're job is to break barriers.
Not accept blame and bow and say, "Thank you. I'm a loser, I'll go away now".
You want to be really great?
Have the courage to fail BIG and stick around,...make them wonder why you're still smiling.
That's true greatness.

Black Horse & The Cherry Tree
two, three, four
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo) (woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
well my heart knows me better than i know myself
so i'm gonna let it do all the talking.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
i came across a place in the middle of nowhere with a big black horse and a cherry tree.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
i fell in fear, upon my back
i said don't look back, just keep on walking.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
when the big black horse that looked this way, said hey lady, will you marry me?
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
but i said no, no, no,no-no-no i
said no, no, you're not the one for me
no, no, no,no-no-no
i said no, no, you're not the one for me
(ooooo,woo-hoo)
and my heart had a problem,
in the early hours,
so it stopped it dead for a beat or two.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
but i cut some cord, and i shouldn't have done that, and it won't forgive me after all these years
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
so i sent her to a place in the middle of nowhere with a big black horse and a cherry tree.
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
now it won't come back , cause it's oh so happy and now i've got a hole for the world to see
(woo-hoo,woo-hoo)
but it said no, no, no,no-no-no
i said no, no, you're not the one for me
no, no, no,no-no-no
said no, no, you're not the one for me
(ooooo,woo-hoo)
(not the one for me, yeah)
(ooooo,woo-hoo)
said no,no, no,no, no, no, no
you're not the one for me
said no,no, no,no, no, no, no
you're not the one for me
big black horse and a cherry tree
i can't quite get there
cause they've all forsken me
big black horse and a cherry tree
i can't quite get there cause they've all forsaken me

Kahlil Gibran
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?

BF philosophy
Not that I condone fascism. Or
any "isms". "Isms", in my opinion
are not good. A person should not
believe in an "ism". He should
believe in himself. John Lennon
said it on his first solo album.
"I don't believe in Beatles, I
just believe in me." A good point
there. Afterall, he was the Walrus.
