I hope that you find the time to go to this link and watch the cat video, Cat Diary, posted at my friend Jenny’s blog. I laughed for three minutes and 21 seconds, the sum total of the video. Thank you Jenny for the longest laugh I have had in a long long time. Oh my! It was totally hilarious. If you don’t like cats or if you have cats, I still think you will find it hilarious. If you’ve seen it already, I’m glad.
“Who are we, who is each of us, if not a combinatoria of experiences, information, books we have read, things imagined? Each life is an encyclopedia, a library, an inventory of objects, a series of styles, and everything can be shuffled and reordered in every way conceivable.”
“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness should certainly include the right to marry the person you love,” said Governor Mark Dayton. I love that guy.
I opened a book and in I strode.
Now nobody can find me.
I’ve left my chair, my house, my road,
My town and my world behind me.
I’m wearing the cloak, I’ve slipped on the ring,
I’ve swallowed the magic potion.
I’ve fought with a dragon, dined with a king,
And swam in a bottomless ocean.
I opened a book and made some friends.
I shared their tears and laughter
And followed their roads with its bumps and bends
To the happily ever after.
I finished my book and out I came.
The cloak can no longer hide me.
My chair and my house are just the same,
But I have a book inside me.”
When I wake up, yeah I know Im gonna be,

I’m gonna be the man who’s growing old with you

To be the man who walked 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door

And if I get drunk, yeah I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man that gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, whatever the fuck that means
I’m gonna be the man who havers next you
And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
To be the man who walked 1,000 miles

“Lots of books make me cry. I get so involved in them, and I care so much, and there is so much beauty and brokenness and nobility in us. It’s overwhelming.”
