My name is Ash but you may call me Ashmael (It's actually Ashley). Husband, Dad, Librarian, Nerd, Texan. Dreamer and occasional slacker. Shaman wrapped in a Wonder Woman blanket. Gen-Xer, INTJ, Leo, Feeling Tookish.This is my little part of the Internet where I like to share things I see, read, hear or watch with whoever cares to see, read or listen. Most of it tends to be geeky with a heafty dose of everything else. My posts tend to be PG-13 or so with an occasional R rated something, but I try to keep it SFW. Prone to rambling.
Remember, remember the Fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know in 1605 he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I’ve witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I’ve seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them.
Til Shade is gone, til water is gone. Into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last day
I have been seeing this quote a few times this week. It is not for me, I already have this mindset. So this must be a message for someone else.
“In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by waiting, they miss out. Usually, what you wish for doesn’t fall in your lap; it falls somewhere nearby, and you have to recognize it, stand up, and put in the time and work it takes to get to it. This isn’t because the universe is cruel. It’s because the universe is smart. It has its own cat-string theory and knows we don’t appreciate things that fall into our laps.”-Neil Strauss
