Bathroom Blather
Today marks the beginning ofHeartBeat's third month.
When I sat down to write this evening, I was staring at the blankest of slates. It may have had something to do with the fact that The Daily Show & The Colbert Report were so fabulously distracting. Luckily, I collected myself in my safe haven: the bathroom. It was truly a spiritual experience, and I decided I'd like to find a quote from a famous person born on my birthday to use as a springboard for my keyboard.
A brief cyber-search found me in tangent land, and I discovered a man full of brilliant prose who died on my birthday in 1939.
His name is Havelock Ellis, and these are the wonderful words he left behind:
"Every artist writes his own autobiography."
"Pain and death are a part of life. To reject them is to reject life itself."
"Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation, or abstraction from life; it is life itself."
After reading these quotes, I decided to ditch the keyboard springboard and just go to bed. Good night.
