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

Our sexuality is so complex - of the most complex, fundamental, and all-encompassing of our traits - that there seems no end to it, to its variety, to the way it gives and sometimes saps our vitality. It is Eros, the one god that definitely dwells in us.
There is a class of people - a personality group - that wants a narrow, controlled sexuality, and is quick to judge. I suspect the complexity and chaos of this god scares them.
Are you scared of what’s in you, that you can’t define, understand, or control - of the Eros in you?

”Men have a hard time giving the reasons they value their wives, because their wives are the reason they value everything else. They make it possible for us to enjoy the stuff we love, plus give meaning to our going to work eery day. Without them, we’d just go through the motions.

”Nerds are allowed to LOVE stuff. Like jump-up-and-down-in-a-chair-can’t-control-yourself-love it. When people call people ‘nerds’ mostly what they’re saying ‘you like stuff.’ which is just not a very good insult at all like ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness.’

”You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.

Occupy Wall Street Proposal: “Occupy My Life”
I don’t know what’s going to happen in this movement, but I hope it’s half as successful as our marriage is going to be.
