If you can do a half-assed job at anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind.

‘Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be.’


‘Call me Jonah. My parents did, or nearly did. They called me John.’


‘Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.’



‘I really wonder what gives us the right to wreck this poor planet of ours.’


‘I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you different.’


‘I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.’

‘Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.’


‘People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order so they’ll have good voice boxes in case there’s ever anything really meaningful to say.’


‘Still and all, why bother? Here’s my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.’


‘The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest.’


‘The year was 2081, and everyone was finally equal.
We could have saved the Earth but we were too damned cheap.’



‘To whom it may concern: It is springtime. It is late afternoon.’


‘What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.’


‘Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say?’

–Kurt Vonnegut

ATLANTA (AP) — A body was found in an airplane wheel well after a Delta Air Lines flight from Africa landed in Atlanta on Friday morning, airline spokeswoman Betsy Talton said.

The flight had left Dakar, Senegal, more than nine hours earlier. It landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

No additional details were available pending an investigation by federal and local law enforcement.

another year of war. so here’s my thanksgiving post. the following lyrics were written by the mob. great british punk band of many years ago..

 NO DOVES FLY HERE

The sky is empty and it’s turning different shades of colour
It never did before and we never asked for war
My mind is empty and my body different shades of torture
It never was before and we never asked for war

No-one is moving and no doves fly here
No-one is thinking and no doves fly here
No-one remembers beyond all this fear
No doves fly here

No doves fly here
No doves fly here
No doves fly here
No doves fly here

so i was looking up my polling place info to make sure it hasn’t changed since last year. i found out brazoria county (where i live) is going to electronic voting machines this year (we had been using the chad system. yes. the chad system. seriously.) this really is going to make things a whole lot easier. i won’t have to go to oran roberts school and risk being ridiculed by elementary school kids to vote. i’ll be able to hack into the system from work. and not only that, since i know what is best for everyone i can vote for everyone. this will save manhours at offices all over the country. it will be a boon for the economy and the war will probably end. in the future nov 7th will be known as rich kimball day. richard bruce kimball junior highs will spring up all over the country. there will be a 51st star added to the american flag with a little digital image of me. the super bowl will be known as the rich kimball bowl. the rose bowl will be known as the rich kimball rose bowl. the los angeles angels of anaheim will change their name to the los angeles kimballs of anaheim. sean penn will star as me in a movie of my life. sean coombs will hold me in the same regard as he holds jesus christ and biggie smalls. dude, i may even get sainted for this.
