To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen, who play with their boats at sea-'cruising,' it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about.
'I’ve always wanted to sail the South Seas, but I can’t afford it.' What these men can’t afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of 'security.' And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the routine of routine – and before we know it our lives are gone.
What does a man need – really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in – and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That’s all – in the material sense. And we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention from the sheer idiocy of the charade.
The years thunder by. The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed. Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?"

Mike,
Things have been crazy around here but I finally got a chance to catch up on my reading and took K2 with me on a long weekend to the beach. Let me tell you I was totally captivated by it, great job! I will have a review posted within two weeks or so. Thanks for your patience!
Bill
He came over last night and asked me to write this down,
Who came over?
You know the guy who drinks the vodka and water...
Three fingers and then fill it to the brim with water he says.
He finally left after the game was over
and all that remained was an ashtray full of cigarette butts and a room full of smoke.
He was good and drunk by then in fact he was drunk when he arrived and he just kept on drinking his vodka and water.
Three fingers and then fill it to the brim.
"The Greatest Threat From The Interdimensional Beings Centers On Their Need For The Energies Provided From Emotional Responses And Their Ability To Manipulate The Suggestive Human Consciousness. Through Tools Such As Religion, Nationalism, Racism, And Other Emotionally Charged Conditions, They Are Able To Provoke Humans Through Stress, Anger, Guilt, And Most Of All FEAR."
Reptilian Resistance
"If God dropped acid, would He see people?"
Steven Wright
Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Bill Hicks
"The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it. The bigger the truth, the more people will say it's too far-fetched."
David Icke
"We need more understanding of human nature, because the only real danger that exists is man himself . . . We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil."
—Carl Jung, BBC interview, 1959
Christopher Hitchens quote of the day.......I’ve just been reading Ezra Levant — very good book. I very much applauded his stand against this, how dare they call it a human rights commission. I like the way he talks and the way he thinks.
"In a world where carpenters get resurrected, everything is possible."
The Lion in Winter [1968]
"If you're going to shag a sheep, it's best to bring it to the edge of a cliff. It pushes back better."
Billy Connely
"In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upwardly mobile—and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. We owe that to ourselves and our crippled self-image as something better than a nation of panicked sheep." —The Great Shark Hunt, 1979
Hunter S. Thompson
“[W]e plotted to overthrow
a tottering dynasty, the tailor sewing buttons on a vest,
the Italian poking his cigar in my eye, lighting me up,
a tottering dynasty myself, always drunk as possible,
well-read, starving, depressed, but actually
a good young piece of ass would have solved all my rancor . . .”
Charles Bukowski
