Believe it! The theatrical experience for the esacpe from daily reality is based upon the truth of peoples crisis, pitfall and fears. So, get over it! There is beauty in the truth. Exposing embarrassing and as compromising as it maybe sometimes. And you know this statement will likely haunt me in the future." ~ Me (You can quote me on this). So difficult to use one quote when I try to live by so many. Here is a lot of them. But far from all. These comfort me. I hope they might you as well. *** “The only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing.” - Socrates *** “Eighty percent of success is showing up.” - Woody Allen *** "In order to be a star performer you have to have someone to play against" ~ Frank Oz *** ~ Tell me and I may forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand ~ ~Chinese Proverb *** "My advice is that if you must be selfish, be wisely selfish. Wise people serve others sincerely, putting the needs of others above their own. Ultimately you will be happier. The kind of selfishness that provokes fighting, killing, stealing, using harsh words, forgetting other people’s welfare will only result in your own loss." Dalai Lama *** "The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow, but do good anyway."--Mother Theresa *** "All can know good as good only because there is evil." – Master Po ~ Kung Fu *** 'When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.' ~ Joyce Brothers *** 'Friendship is love without his wings!' - Lord Byron *** 'How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.' ~ William Shakespeare "According to the seed that’s sown, So is the fruit you reap there from, Doer of good will gather good, Doer of evil, evil reaps, Down is the seed and thou shalt taste The fruit thereof." ~ Samyutta Nikaya (Karma) ‎"It's our challenges and obstacles that give us layers of depth and make us interesting." — Ellen DeGeneres I have a room 4 rent: Rental AD Share this hidden, very private and gated estate house in the high rent area of Woodland Hills in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, CA.

That's the problem.' ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh Satyrs seeks Satyrs for LTR: Incase you were wondering here are some definitions, quotes and words of wisdom I try to live by along with my profile *** (LTR) means Long Term Relationship Yes, I am looking for a LTR. Yes, I have hooked up with a few before. I can be spontaneous. It’s loneliness and lustful thoughts that drives me to my generous behavior. However, I would much rather a b/f. Let's get real. LTR is hard to find these days. Especially in the city of Angels, Los Angeles. The land of lost dreams and virtues. But persistence pays off with diligence and empowerment. With these AD’s I hope to empower myself and you the reader, to proceed with change and alter the state of being. This I freely admit this in an attempt to free myself from the bondage of being single. "Truth is freedom". Free yourself. *** I'm a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant. - Paul Newman *** "If music be the food of love, play on" - William Shakespeare *** "The Greatest Thing You'll ever Learn, is Just to Love, and be Loved in Return" ~ Eden Ahbez: "Nature Boy" - popularized by (1948) - Nat King Cole *** 'The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.' ~Mother Teresa *** "There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy." - Dante *** 'Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never met.' ~ Cristina W. *** "To suppress a truth is to give it force beyond endurance." — Master Kan ~ Kung Fu *** ‘And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.’  ~John 8:32 - The Holy Bible *** (Satyrs) Is from Greek mythology, Satyrs (in Greek, Sáátyroi) are a troop of male companions of Pan and Dionysus - "satyresses" were a late invention of poets, that roamed the woods and mountains. In mythology they are often associated with sex drive and vase-painters often portrayed them with uncontrollable erections. Provocative huh? *** "As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake." ~ Mark Twain *** Enjoy life. Think of all the women who passed up dessert on the Titanic. ~ Anonymous *** 'Best way to get rid of kitchen odors: Eat out.' ~ Phyllis Diller *** 'The 2 most common things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity' ~ Anthony Gordon (People need to understand that stupidity is real and should be taken seriously. You could be sitting next to a stupid person right now. There is still no known cure for stupidity and sympathy does not help. Sometimes a 2x4 to the back of the head helps, but not a lot. But we can raise awareness!) I have been known to suffer from stupidity in my life time. I hope that I have overcome stupidity by becoming more aware threw history, learning, information, reading, and by others and myself life experiences. But, still I can not say that I won't do or say something stupid from time to time. All I can promise is that I will try to be informed and be the best person I can be. ~ me *** "Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future." - Yoda ~ Star Wars *** “I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” - Voltaire *** "Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it." ~ Henry Ford *** 'As any old Taoist walking out of the woods can tell you, simple-minded does not necessarily mean stupid.' ~ Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh *** "Let X = X" ~ Laurie Anderson *** 'A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathizes with your problems when they're not so bad.' ~ Arnold H. Glasgow *** 'Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.' ~ Indira Gandhi *** 'Patience is the companion of wisdom.' ~ St. Augustine *** 'What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.' - Aristotle *** “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” - Abraham Lincoln *** ‎"The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude" - Dennis Brown *** 'A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.' ~ Winnie the Pooh - A.A. Milne *** 'One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.' ~ Chinese Proverb *** 'Did you know that the people that seem the strongest are usually the most sensitive? Did you know that the people who exhibit the most kindness are usually the first to get mistreated? Did you know the ones who take care of others all the time are usually the ones that need it the most? Did you know the 3 hardest things to say are: I love you, I'm sorry and Help me?' ~ David A Kozen *** 'Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.' ~ William Shakespeare *** "'Tis better to have loved and lost / Than n...Expand for more
ever to have loved at all" ~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson *** "I can feel his breath as he's sleepin' next to me, Sharing pillows and cold feet. He can feel my heart, fell asleep to its beat, Under blankets and warm sheets. If only I could be in that bed again... If only it were me instead of him" "I know, love. (I'm a sucker for that feeling)... It happens all the time, love, (I always end up feeling cheated) ... You're on my mind, love, (or so that matter when I need it)... It happens all the time - Love, yeah... Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sing to all your music while you dance to "Purple Rain?" Does he do all these things, like I used to?" "Will he love you like I loved you? Will he tell you everyday? Will he make you feel like you're invincible with every word he'll say? Like we used to ..." ~ A Rocket To The Moon: Like We Used To *** 'Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.' ~ C. S. Lewis *** “Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.” - Confucius *** 'I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich.' ~ Dan Wilcox and Thad Mumford, "Identity Crisis," M*A*S*H *** 'At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.' ~ Plato *** 'If you want to be loved, be lovable.' ~~ Ovid *** "Nothing unreal exists." Mr. Spock ~ Star Trek *** “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” ~ Albert Einstein *** 'The prettier the flower, the farther from the path." Red Riding Hood ~ "Into the Woods" ~ S. Sondheim *** “The only thing constant in life is change” ~ François de la Rochefoucauld *** “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” - Charles Darwin *** “May you never forget what is worth remembering, nor ever remember what is best forgotten” ~ unknown *** 'A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains.' ~ Dutch Proverb *** "Careful the things you say... children will listen." All ~ "Into the Woods" ~ S. Sondheim *** “Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.” - Bruce Lee *** “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.” - Oscar Wilde *** Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live. ~ Socrates *** "Perceive the ways of nature and no force of man can harm you. Do not meet a wave head on, avoid it. You do not have to stop force ... it is easier to redirect it. Learn more ways to preserve rather than to destroy. Avoid rather than check, check rather than hurt, hurt rather than maim, maim rather than kill. Death brings honor to no one. All life is precious nor can it be replaced." - Master Kan ~ Kung Fu *** "Yes. A Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice." ―Yoda ~ Star Wars *** Do Not Mistake My Kindness for Weakness! --Jude Ord *** “I will forgive but I won’t forget” ~ me *** "Fool me once Shame on you Fool me twice Shame on me." ~~ Chinese Proverb. *** 'Forgive, son; men are men; they needs must err.' ~ Euripides *** "An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind." — Mahatma Gandhi *** “Patiences is a virtue." - “Piers Plowman” ~ William Langland. Frodo: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened." Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought." - "Lord of the Rings; The fellowship of the ring" J.R.R. Tolkien *** "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." ~ William Shakespeare - Macbeth *** 'Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, who puts his hope in Him. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, extending its roots to a river: it will not fear the scorching heat, its foliage will be green and lively; neither will it worry in a drought or cease to yield fruit. Indeed, the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. Who could know it? ‘I, Yahweh, search the heart; I try the intentions of the mind, and give to every man according to his ways—according to the fruit of his deeds.’ (Jeremiah 17:7-10) The Holy Bible *** "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." — Mahatma Gandhi *** If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody. ~~ Chinese Proverb *** ‘Grown men can learn from very little children for the hearts of the little children are pure. Therefore, the Great Spirit may show to them many things which older people miss.’ ~ Black Elk - Cherokee Nation 1839 *** 'I support support.' ~ Brian Patrick *** ‎"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." - Helen Keller *** 'by my calculation: know, when the end comes it will occur without prediction and happen before it ever arrives' ~ R.L. (Rick) Serrano *** "When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home." ~ Chief Aupumut, Mohican. 1725 *** "Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is." ―Yoda ~ Star Wars *** “The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?” - Edgar Allan Poe *** 'It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.' ~J.K. Rowling, "The Cave," Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, 2005, spoken by the character Albus Dumbledore *** "Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills." ~Voltaire, letter to Count Schomberg, 31 August 1769 *** "Aspire To Inspire Before You Expire. Live your life the way you want to .. work hard for your dreams and passions 24-7; 365 day a yr. & never say no to ANYTHING!" - Kevin. *** 'Avoid extremes: be moderate In saving and in spending; An equable and easy gait Will win an easy ending.' ~ Robert Service *** “There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” ~ Albert Einstein *** 'I love life! it's an amazing trip.

Ying and Yang. *** "It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences." ~ Audre Lorde *** 'When our relatives are at home, we have to think of all their good points or it would be impossible to endure them.' ~ George Bernard Shaw *** “the closer to the family...the closer to the wine’ Cinderella’s Father ~ "Into the Woods" ~ S. Sondheim *** Laughter IS “GOD”. I find it hilarious that "perfect bliss" is to be a complete idiot. - me *** I hope this long profile explains myself and my intentions. Don't be shy. I won't bite. Please Ask me anything *** What I want for Christmas is someone kind to share in the joy of the season with. Could this be you? IM me. *** 'Some people come into our lives and quickly go.

That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand.' ~Emily Kimbrough *** "What is worth having is worth working for." ~The Amber Spyglass (The golden Compass Novels) - Philip Pullman's trilogy *** "Fear is only in our minds" ~ Evanescence *** For the most part I am a open book.
