Cheers and Thanks!
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
Quote from Umberto Eco, Italian novelist & semiotician (1932 - )
“...And these children
that you spit on
as they try to change their worlds
are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware
of what they're going through...”
from David Bowie's "Changes"
It was 1985, and I was a freshmen in college. I was sitting in a theater, watching The Breakfast Club. The movie had just started, and rather unexpectedly these words on the screen. I read them. Again. And again. I would never be the same.
I was going through some serious changes, because life was starting to get serious. My high school had only about 500 people. The college I was attending had over 35,000 students. I was overwhelmed and disconnected.
Suddenly, irrevocably, things mattered.
I saw these words, and I felt better about myself. I recognized what I was going through. Changes. Everything would be alright, eventually.
Thank you Mr. Hughes. Rest in peace.
From the Los Angeles Times: Hughes was a master of light, right notes

I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.

This pretty much describes how I find out stuff on the internet. Lost in the world of tangent links ...

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
