Daydreaming Idly
"It is reality that awakens possibilities, and nothing would be more perverse than to deny it. Even so, it will always be the same possibilities, either in sum or on the average, that go on repeating themselves until a man comes along who does not value the actuality over the idea. It is he who first gives the new possibilities their meaning, their directions, and he awakens them."
- Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities
"The truth will set you free. But not until it is done with you."
- David Foster Wallace

Destructo Deviations - One Important Lesson I Have Learned From Bono (Never forget your audience.)
Watch this beautiful once in a lifetime performance from U2. I am still wiping up the tears, I can only imagine what this girl who was pulled up onto stage was thinking. Bono has taught me many things over the years but this video above all, showed me how he really reigns over most. He breaks down those walls of impersonality that can come with fame and connects with his fans and his world in a way that only one soul can measure.
Be Inspired, Miss Destructo

“It is in midwinter that I sometimes glean from my pines something more important than woodlot politics, and the news of the wind and weather. This is especially likely to happen on some gloomy evening when the snow has buried all irrelevant detail, and the hush of elemental sadness lies heavy upon every living thing. Nevertheless, my pines, each with his burden of snow, are standing ramrod-straight, rank upon rank, and in the dusky beyond I sense the presence of hundreds more. At such times I feel a curious transfusion of courage.” ~ Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
