“If you don’t have anything to say, don’t say it”

Its been a few days since I posted my last entry. Sometimes I don’t have anything worth blogging about, and god knows there are enough interesting blogs on the internet so that one or two less entries from me will hardly be noticed by whoever it is that keeps score of the these things.

It’s been a beautiful Sunday here in NYC. I walked across Central Park to the museum under a bright blue sky and let the crisp air blow out the funk that’s been hanging over my head the last few days. We all have our moods, and since Thursday, I’ve been more than usually occupied with trying to figure out exactly what the point of my existence is. I’m still not sure I have the answer, but here are a few choice thoughts on the question:

“Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.”

- Brendan Gill

“Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.”

- Christopher Morley (1890 - 1957)

“The purpose of life is to fight maturity.”

- Dick Werthimer

“Life is just one damned thing after another.”

- Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)

“It’s not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.”

- Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892 - 1950)

“Life is something that happens when you can’t get to sleep.”

- Fran Lebowitz (1950 - )

“Life is something that everyone should try at least once.”

- Henry J. Tillman

“Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome.”

- Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)

“Life is a long lesson in humility.”

- James M. Barrie (1860 - 1937)

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”

- John Lennon (1940 - 1980)

“ Life is a fatal complaint, and an eminently contagious one.”

- Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 - 1894)

“Life is a sexually transmitted disease.”

- R. D. Laing

“The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.”

- Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988)

“Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.”

- Truman Capote (1924 - 1984)





And then of course, there’s my personal favorite:

“I?ve got my mojo working.”

-Muddy Waters


It feels good to feel good again.
