Hey, I resemble that remark!

Bloom’s long bucolic sneer seems to have invited national interest along with Iowan indignation. Some have even gone line-by-line. Others hope to capitalize on the fury. The best of course is this from Iowahawk.

Cow chipping away at the story, we may want to remember that many of those stereotypical outdated Midwestern morals may have more to do with the next American President than you can dip in butter and put on a stick.

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

— Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

It must be horrible to not know,

early-onset-of-night:

to not be able to walk or to stand, to not recognize the faces that look upon you with love. it must be horrible to have been human once, full of laughter and rage and sadness, full of memory and thought and future. Life is not like a box of chocolates. It’s not like anything at all, not like anything we can imagine, or everything we can imagine, or a hole full of darkness growing, enveloping, yet somehow driven by light.
