Conservative Republicans actually DO patronize The Sparrow!?!

After 21 years, I have finally lived.

If I were to write what I've learned and what I feel is the "meaning" or "key" to life, it would take up this entire book. There is no one phrase to sum up life and Happiness. The Key to life is to search for Happiness, and never stop looking.

Sorry, cannot read the name.

In the Moment that we are all in. It's only best to think of that exact moment. Rather the dwell in what could have or what will be.

Thank you, Patrick.

I enjoyed listning to other people's written words. Not enough time to write all that comes to mind... But I feel gratefulness is "Where it's at."

A true bassist knows his chords, scales and intervals. If you do not know these things then learn them. They are the most valuable tools any musician an know.

Don't join the military unless you really think that you are capable of killing people. If you don't pull the trigger you'll be in a lot of trouble even if you survive.

Never trust the recruiter

Boys are never worth it, and Adderall is not meant for weight loss; you're beautiful the way you are.

One ship drives East, and another drives West
With the self serve winds that blow
Tis the set of the sails
And not the sails
That tell us the way to go

Like the winds of the sea, are the way of fate
As we voyage along through life
Tis the set of a soul
That decides it's goal
And not the calm or the strife

Relax.
Breath in... breath out...
Nothing is certain
Everything is one

About the red boxes...

Dear readers,

I am here to announce that the "True Grand Rapids Library Project" have been so very successful and I am so thankful for all your support and participation. I am also here to announce that the project is going to come to a close as the date of the Art Prize weeks are approaching. I need to gather the red boxes up and have them ready to be a part of the display which will be showing in the UICA (Urban Institution of Contemporary Art, the old building on Sheldon Av.) I am going to gather them all up on next Wednesday which is August 25. If you want to put few more of your thoughts in the books, please do so before it is all gathered back by me.


Thanks again for all the great entries that you all had contributed. It was a great success and it cannot had done so without each and every one of you.


Thank you so much.
and upon the gathering, I shall post all the entries on the blog so that you can read and learn it all.
