I’ve had some wonderful love affairs and some that didn’t work out. I don’t want to dwell on that and I don’t want to put people down, but I think all the fabulous places I’ve been, the wonderful things that have happened for me, the great people I’ve met - that ought to make a story.

Well, now that we have seen each other,” said the unicorn, “if you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you.”

This goes out to all of the people who have been broken but have been strong enough to let go. For the people who have hurt so badly that they felt they could never love again, but kept their head up. For those who feel like going back to their old lover would put all the pieces back where they belong and everything would fit, but accept the cold hard truth instead. For the people that learn from their mistakes and never stop moving forward, even when they take two steps back. For the people that wish loneliness wasn’t a part of them, but put up with it anyhow. For the people that are okay with taking up all of the room in the bed, even if sometimes it feels a little empty. For the people who wake up in the morning with no missed calls, but smile anyway. For the people that periodically miss the past, but are so much more excited for the future. For the people that have wounds still healing. For the people that have so much tied to their past relationship, but break those chains to start fresh. For the people that want to look back so badly, but focus on the road ahead. For the people that pick up the phone so tempted to call, but keep their dignity in tact instead. For the people that never wanted to let go, but had to. For the people that still believe in love even after all of the hurt their heart has endured. For all the people that gave up not because they were weak, but because most times it’s better just to let go. We’ll get our happy ending someday.

White people did not want any of us in this country for a long time (see: Chinese Exclusion Act), and any recognition of our culture comes in the…

You are the call
and I am the answer,
You are the wish,
and I the fulfillment
You are the night,
and I the day.
What else?
It is perfect enough
It is perfectly complete.
You and I
and I am the answer,
You are the wish,
and I the fulfillment
You are the night,
and I the day.
What else?
It is perfect enough
It is perfectly complete.
You and I

My philosophy is a mixture of the three famous schools — the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans - and all three can be summed up in my famous phrase, “You can’t trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there’s nothing you can do about it, so let’s have a drink.”
