"in der Nacht sind alle Katzen grau" ("by night all cats are gray"). this German proverb is descriptive of the fact that differences in appearance are difficult to recognize when it is dark. example: "my new girlfriend is definitely no supermodel, but who cares? by night all cats are gray"

Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it most never use it.

My quote is: 


Never leave the house without clean underwear on...because you never know if you end up in A&E 
Friedrich Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake."



Music Is Live

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.



Keep Calm And Listen To The Music…

An autopsy has revealed that the death was caused by an autopsy 

One of the first Russian one-liners that comes to mind.

So it appears I'm not the only person in the whole world who remembers that show! It was aired in Poland with a horrible dub but I used to watch it anyway. The wole mystery of the "ankh" thing was pretty cool.

As for my favorite quote and stuff it would be:
"Out of chaos comes music" - Roine Stolt.

I saw (heard, of course) this quote in a Canadian series entitled Dark Oracle, supposedly aimed at teens and young adults. (I loved it, anyway.) I made this image myself, for my Facebook cover, years ago. 

Simple but effective "words of wisdom", methinks.

Instead of something clever and learned I thought id record a couple of my late mothers sayings.. I don't think they were original but they made their point..

''The things you see when you haven't got your gun''

''You make a great door but a rubbish window'' (when standing in the way of the tv etc)

''if it was a bear it would have bitten you'' (when looking for something obvious)

Ahh.. the wisdom of old dears ;)

The story of Haquin...................A beautiful girl in the village was pregnant. Her angry parents demanded to know who was the father. At first resistant to confess, the anxious and embarrassed girl finally pointed to Hakuin, the Zen master whom everyone previously revered for living such a pure life. When the outraged parents confronted Hakuin with their daughter's accusation, he simply replied "Is that so?"

When the child was born, the parents brought it to the Hakuin, who now was viewed as a pariah by the whole village. They demanded that he take care of the child since it was his responsibility. "Is that so?" Hakuin said calmly as he accepted the child. 

For many months he took very good care of the child until the daughter could no longer withstand the lie she had told. She confessed that the real father was a young man in the village whom she had tried to protect. The parents immediately went to Hakuin to see if he would return the baby. With profuse apologies they explained what had happened. "Is that so?" Hakuin said as he handed them the child.

And one of my all time favorites by a writer who died some years ago...R A Wilson:
"If you think you know what's going on, you are probably full of sh*t."
"Is that so"....................the quote "One does nothing yet nothing is left undone" is actually from Chapter 38 of the Tao Te Ching

Falsehood flies and the truth comes limping after it (Jonathan Swift)

I'm not a man trapped in a woman's body. I'm a brain trapped in a human body (Genesis P. Orridge)

I believe in luck. How else can you explain the success of those you don’t like? (Jean Cocteau)

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter (Winston Churchill)

A handful of Afghans dying could make the front pages, but only if they were strangled one by one by Beyoncé as the half-time entertainment at the Super Bowl. (Frankie Boyle)

You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred (Woody Allen)

Being a monarchist – saying that one small group is born more worthy of respect than another – is just as warped and strange as being a racist. Yet no musician would dream of playing a benefit concert for the BNP. (Julie Burchill)
