* * * *
It would be interesting to watch the autopsy.

Another thing I desperately don’t need.

Ciao, ciao.

How many times has that been?

I have an affinity for oblivion.

I tasted
I smelled
I touched
I departed

What flower believes it will live forever?
* * * *
An affinity for oblivion

Didn’t see that one coming
* * * *
What’s another number?
* * * *
Drifting in bliss
* * * *
How lucky I am to finally be done

Hear! Hear!
* * * *
Try not to wish your life away.
* * * *
Whac-a-mole.
* * * *
A collusion of imagination.
.
* * * *
Just do it.
* * * *
Don’t ask, don’t tell.
* * * *
I’m glad I’m old.
* * * *
Do not burn bridges if you do not need to.
* * * *
This ain’t no melting pot, this is an uncooked stew.
* * * *
There are a lot worse places to live.
* * * *
Gotta be born somewhere.
* * * *
Assumptions can kill ya.
* * * *
Why would you praise any god that did this to you?
* * * *
My real name is Peter Pan

Every night’s a new adventure.
* * * *
Oh, ye of little doubt
* * * *
Why wait to go out on a bad day?
* * * *
Your Mommy doesn’t live here.
* * * *
Anything but a human being.
* * * *
The insanity of humanity.
* * * *
Mowgli in the forest out the back door,
Huck Finn in the Mississippi across the road,
Sisyphus daily pushing the boulder up the mountain,
Johnny Appleseed casting his ruminations across the world,
Sparrowhawk pursuing the shadow across the depths,
Phaedrus journeying down the asphalt pathways,
Paladin have-gun-will-traveling down the trails,
The Joyful Curmudgeon irreverently amused,
Jester Amok unleashing definitive cuisine,
Muad'Dib piercing the spice’s secrets,
Bond sipping the shaken-not-stirred,
Joe Everyman wandering all camps,
And Peter Pan in the essence of all.
* * * *
It's a good day to die, tomorrow would be better.
* * * *
Once upon a time.
* * * *
Those were the daze.
* * * *
Needs research.
* * * *
Yes means yes, no means no, and maybe does not mean yes.
* * * *
Life is a marathon, not a sprint.
* * * *
The freezer door is open.
* * * *
If they were going to take my advice, they would not have needed it in the first place.
* * * *
Back to the moment.
* * *
Numbers don’t lie.
* * * *
Wait, take that back.
* * * *
Every seed has its fate.
* * * *
Damned work ethic.
* * * *
Life is the muse.
* * * *
Live or let live, live or let die; I prefer the former, unless you choose the latter.
* * * *
Another day of anonymity.
* * * *
Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
* * * *
Ohhh-kayyy.
* * * *
Yesterday showed up again.
* * * *
See you yesterday.
* * * *
Another yesterday.
* * * *
Another yesterday underway.
* * * *
The worms do not care.
* * * *
We all gots our fate.
* * * *
So Goldilocks!
* * * *
Hard to argue with a dead man.
* * * *
No shit, Sherlock!
* * * *
Another slab of meat.
* * * *
Sorry you did it? Or sorry you got caught?
* * * *
I was born to be retired.
* * * *
The price of the ticket: Injury, illness, decline, death.
* * * *
Dead before my time.
* * * *
Maybe the Devil cares.
* * * *
Enough rarely is.
* * * *
It takes a matrix.
* * * *
Another day of pleasant boredom underway.
* * * *
Life, it’ll kill ya.
* * * *
Are we there, yet?
* * * *
The great obscurity beckons all.
* * * *
The Dude abides.
* * * *
We all gotta die sometime, Red.
* * * *
The fountain of youth is within.
* * * *
Go away, Kid, ya bother me.
* * * *
Always question, always doubt.
* * * *
I am a human being who happened to be born in Amerika.

Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
* * * *
It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.
You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet,
there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
* * * *
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
* * * *
Gandalf: A Wizard is Never Late, Frodo Baggins,
nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.

* * * *
If not now, when?
