Like a suitcase packed with everything but the kitchen sink, my blog is a place to talk movies, books, current events, pop culture, travel, modern love, and includes flash fiction. A list of categories can be found to the right.
Don't forget to stand on corners with suitcases in your hands (homage to Lou Reed and his song "Sweet Jane"). You never know what's around that corner, but it will surely be an adventure.

Abe and Twain
Lincoln Memorial (Posted by Stuck in Customs, Flickr)
Mark Twain (Posted by Kleopatrjones, Flickr)
These quotes were posted on a friend's myspace page and I just love them. I'm with abe and twain.
One last thing, I recently read that animals do not know of their own mortality. We are the only animal that does. Never thought about that before. Explains a lot don't you think?
"The scientist who yields anything to theology, however slight, is yielding to ignorance and false pretenses, and as certainly as if he granted that a horse-hair put into a bottle of water will turn into a snake. - H.L. Mencken
"Man is the religious animal. He is the only religious animal. He is the only
animal that has the True Religion –- several of them. He is the only animal that
loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat, if his theology isn't straight.
He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven." - Mark Twain
"I have as much authority as the Pope. I just don't have as many people
who believe it." - George Carlin
"When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion."
- Abraham Lincoln
