M.I.A.
Can't write... Facebooking. More on that later... must get back to Facebook. Am wasting precious Facbooking time writing this post.
Oh, did I mentioned I just recently joined Facebook?
I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear. ~Joan Didion
****
Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,and unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind.
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen in a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of people. I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, but always pity brought me back to earth; cries of pain reverberated in my heart of children in famine, of victims tortured, and of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.
~Bertrand Russell:

Facebook...facebook....why the hell facebook and not myspace. I guess it's better that way you won't see any incriminating pics of your lovely lil' cousin. This way your pristine image of me won't be tarnished. :)
