life is a b movie
it's stupid and it's strange
a directionless story
and the dialouge is lame
but in the he said she said
sometimes there's some poetry
if you turn your back long enough
and let it happen naturally
oh, yeah
hell yeah

Hi,

I just came across your post through the no_compromise community's friend page. Anyway...

Well, I like Chesterton's perspective on life:
___________________________________

...it is, like most of the other things we encounter in life, a fragment of something else which would be intensely exciting if it were not too large to be seen. For the perplexity of life arises from there being too many interesting things in it for us to be interested properly in any of them; what we call its triviality is really the tag-ends of numberless tales; ordinary and unmeaning existence is like ten thousand thrilling detective stories mixed up with a spoon.

-G.K. Chesterton, Tremendous Trifles

The sense that everything is poetical is a thing solid and absolute; it is not a mere matter of phraseology or persuasion. It is not merely true, it is ascertainable. Men may be challenged to deny it; men may be challenged to mention anything that is not a matter of poetry...

D'oh! Sorry for that paragraph coming up twice...

(I also apologize for so many comments).

(BTW, I apologize if these comments seem random. I just wished to provide a couple of quotes which seemed somewhat relevant, so...)

Just curious: have you ever read anything by G.K. Chesterton?
