Jerod's Story
Jerod is from North Pharsalia, New York. Jerod's schools include Otselic Valley High School. Jerod later attended Ithaca College.
Music Jerod likes includes Ali Spagnola.
One of Jerod's favorite quotes is:"âYou have never been inside a film studio before?â
âOnly once. Years ago.â
âIt will interest you as a phenomenon. You see, the film studio of today is really the palace of the sixteenth century. There one sees what Shakespeare saw: the absolute power of the tyrant, the courtiers, the flatterers, the jesters, the cunningly ambitious intriguers. There are fantastically beautiful women, there are incompetent favorites. There are great men who are suddenly disgraced. There is the most insane extravagance, and unexpected parsimony over a few pence. There is enormous splendor, which is a sham; and also horrible squalor hidden behind the scenery. There are vast schemes, abandoned because of some caprice. There are secrets which everybody knows and no one speaks of. There are even two or three honest advisors. These are the court fools, who speak the deepest wisdom in puns, lest they should be taken seriously. They grimace, and tear their hair privately and weep.â
-Christopher Isherwood

-Oscar Wilde
"It's just the dance we do. Sometimes we get lost in it. But it always ends the same."
"Cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door."
-Grateful Dead
"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity..."
-Gilda Radner
"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost."
"Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love."
-Charles Schulz
âIf you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.â
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Some dance to remember, some dance to forget."
"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour."
-William Blake
"This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."
-T.S. Eliot
"And mile to go before I sleep..."
-Robert Frost".
