“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” ~Dr. Seuss

Insomnia and Me: 5 Things I've learned before 5:00am - Part VI
1) Lewis Carroll is considered a Jack the Ripper suspect.
2) Ron DiFrancesco was the last person to make it out of the South Tower of the World Trade Center before it collapsed on September 11, 2001. One of only four people to escape from above the eighty-first floor, DiFrancesco described feeling a presence that guided him through the fire and smoke consumed stairwells.
3) You can learn a lot about yourself from just a few simple questions.
4) The Soundsnap website provides sound clips organized by category ranging from ice clinking in a glass to boat fog horn.
5) In 1903, a stone phallus weighing 2.2 tons was unearthed in rural Ohio. I would've guessed Idaho.

Dating Over 30
Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
~Billy Joel

you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something,
run a marathon.” ~Emil Zatopek

“If the furnace is hot enough, it will burn anything.” ~John L. Parker
“There are clubs you can't belong to, neighborhoods you can't live in, schools you can't get into, but the roads are always open.” ~Nike
“Methinks that the moment my legs began to move, my thoughts began to flow.” ~Henry David Thoreau
“Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second.” ~William James
“Bid me run, and I will strive with things impossible.” ~William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
