A little bit of country... A little bit of rock n' roll

"Arminius, without doubt Germania's liberator, who challenged the Roman people not in its beginnings like other kings and leaders, but in the peak of its empire; in battles with changing success, undefeated in the war." -Tacitus

Arminius is just one of those bad asses of history.

Philosophy does not promise to secure anything external for man, otherwise it would be admitting something that lies beyond its proper subject-matter. For as the material of the carpenter is wood, and that of statuary bronze, so the subject-matter of the art of living is each person's own life.

One of the most beautiful aspects of a market economy is that it harnesses some of the most selfish, ambitious, and talented people in society, and makes it in their direct financial interest to worry at night about pleasing others.

All this gun-ban talk is really making me remember why I don't like government.

They didn't put Tom Bombadil in the Lord of the Rings movies, and Beorn was not in the first Hobbit movie. This is an outrage.

How can you not love life when Jim Tom talks? On a side note... I kind of have a hankering for moonshine now.

Even if I believed these people to be my mortal enemies, I could not celebrate the creation of widows and orphans.

Cat outperforms professionals in stock market

The random stock selections of a cat named Orlando amassed more profit than the picks made by investment managers.

[moneyisnotimportant]

The moral of the story is, let your cat pick out the investments for your 401(k).

I’M KIDDING DON’T REALLY DO THAT.

I need to take lessons from this cat.

he said: failing is not just for failures  it's for everyone, failures just have more experience  but you can't quit now, you have to climb all night  climb everyone of their towers, and show them your life... ... and I'll do this for you, because the world might need it

Doctor Manhattan: Thermodynamic miracles... events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold. I long to observe such a thing. And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son; that exact daughter... Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold... that is the crowning unlikelihood. The thermodynamic miracle. Laurie Juspeczyk: But... if me, my birth, if that's a thermodynamic miracle... I mean, you could say that about anybody in the world! Dr. Manhattan: Yes. Anybody in the world... But the world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become commonplace and we forget... I forget. We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another's vantage point, as if new, it may still take our breath away. Come... dry your eyes. For you are life, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg; the clay in which the forces that shape all things leave their fingerprints most clearly. Dry your eyes... and let's go home.
