"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity is but swindling futurity on a large scale... If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

--Thomas Jefferson



"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream."

Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)



"I think I have told you, but if I have not, you must have understood, that a man who has a vision is not able to use the power of it until after he has performed the vision on earth for the people to see."

Black Elk




"Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest."

Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)

My life is like the lives of many others. Like most I have had my share of troubles, addiction, cancer, being an asshole, etc. I have been hospitalized for mental illness many times. I no longer have cancer. As to whether or not I continue to be mentally ill, you be the judge. Today LIFE IS GOOD. Remember, no matter how bad it gets THERE IS ALWAYS CHOCOLATE!!!

I spend most of my time at Uptown Bills Small Mall. Check us out:
