"Remember, it takes two to tango," [he said].

"Yeah," [Stephen] says, leaning in closer. "Except you're forgetting one thing."


"What's that?"

"No one's ever forced to dance...

are they?"

"And if all others accepted the lie which the

Party imposed -

if all records told the same tale -

then the lie passed into history and became

truth.

'Who Controls the Past,' ran the Party slogan,

'Controls the Future:

Who controls the Present, Controls the Past.'

* * *

It was quite simple.
All that was needed was an unending
series of victories over one's own memory.

'Reality Control'

they called it; in Newspeak 'doublethink'."

"One of these days,
thought Winston with sudden deep conviction,
Syme will be vaporized.

He is too intelligent.
He sees too clearly.
He speaks too plainly.

The Party does not like such people.
One day he will
~ disappear ~
it is written in his face."

"By 2050 - earlier, probably - all real knowledge of
Oldspeak will have disappeared.

The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed.

Chauncer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron

they'll exist only in Newspeak versions,

not merely changed into something different,
but actually changed into something
contradictory of what they used to be...

The whole climate of thought will be different.

In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now.

Orthodoxy means not thinking - not needing to think.

Orthodoxy is unconsciousness." [Syme]

dreamland - Notre Dame

last night (4/26/2010) i had a dream that apparently I was sleeping with this random guy (he didn't look familiar, he's not from my real life, I don't know how my dream created him) and he was obsessed with saying Notre Dame. He pronounced Dame with the A sounding like "Dahmer" (like Jeffrey Dahmer) and I kept telling him to pronounce it to rhyme with Dane. But he kept saying it his way over and over and over again. Then I woke up.

Regarding the future of this U.S. of A

"so what are we gonna have?

dessert or disaster?"

- Knock You Down

Corn Cob In a Frame

"Hmm... Maybe ol' Professor Hardwood is onto something. He probably really loves corn. And all corn-related products.

I mean, isn't that what you're supposed to put in a frame? Things you love? I'm gonna do that. When I'm get home, I'm gonna frame a bunch of stuff I love.

Like lasagna. I *love* lasagna. It's SO good. And cheesy.

You know who else loves lasagna? Garfield. Man, that cat really loves lasagna. Maybe I should put a picture of Garfield in a frame. You know, as a kind of shorthand way of saying 'I love lasagna.' That would be so f*cking inside.

Or how 'bout a photo of *President* Garfield?

Oh shit, that would be totally meta!

People would be all like: Jane, why do you have a photo of President Garfield on your mantle? And I'd be like: Because I like lasagna, of course."

My Noah

After much contemplation,

I think I've figured out the key to love is timing.

Timing can be the difference between requited & unrequited love.

Timing could be the difference between two soul mates meeting and passing each other by.

Love also grows with time...and fades with time...

But when the right paths cross each other at the right time, time suddenly stretches to eternity.

A Tribute To Brittany Murphy. A Real-Life Angel.

"I wasn't mad, I was confused...

everyone was talking, talking, talking at me

and I couldn't understand a word they were saying,

and then their voices became a blur and soon I couldn't

even recognize their faces; they were like these blobs

and they started to grow fangs and their eyes became

green and I knew I had to run away.

So I packed my knapsack, got on the train, and looked up at

the map and decided I wanted to live on Coney Island. I thought

it would be... you know... a real island. That I thought I could

hide there like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fin, but imagine

my surprise...

The teacups were the only ride they would let me on by myself,

so I got on it and I started spinning around and 'round and 'round.

But I feel like I am still there... spinning 'round and 'round and 'round...

and the ride won't stop... You were right, Ray, I am scared.

But you're scared too.

You're scared as I am

and I thought that maybe

if we could go

together...
