With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
-Steven Weinberg
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
-Bertrand Russell
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
-Miguel de Cervantes
I enjoy paying taxes. With them I buy civilization.

I walk the line
Shortly after writing that depressing entry last night Leah called. A happy Leah makes me happy. I also get to have lots of fun teasing her. I can say things here that no one will understand and drive her nuts. I’m not being mean, you should hear the things she says about me. Leah can get away with more than anybody and she takes full advantage.
Johnny Cash died. I’m never sure if he gets his proper due. He and Elvis are the only ones in both the Rock and Roll and Country Music Halls of Fame. So you can’t say he is unappreciated. WFUV is featuring his music today, it has such range. There are anthems, sad songs, and funny songs. He could do it all.
I have no idea what I’m doing tonight. I might end up just wandering the city. I might make my way into Hoboken. If I do it will be a late night. I’m not sure if I want that.
TEENAGER IN LOVE
Dion
(Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman)
Each time we have a quarrel, it almost breaks my heart,
Cause I'm so afraid that we will have to part,
Each night I ask the stars up above,
Why must I be a teenager in love?
One day I feel so happy, next day I feel so sad.
I guess I'll learn to take the good with the bad.
Cause each night I ask the stars up above,
Why must I be a teenager in love?
I cried a tear for nobody but you,
I'll be a lonely one, if you should say we're through.
Well, if you want to make me cry, that won't be so hard to do.
And if you should say goodbye, I'll still go on loving you.
Each night I ask the stars up above,
Why must I be a teenager in love?
I cried a tear for nobody but you,
I'll be a lonely one, if you should say we're through.
Well, if you want to make me cry, that won't be so hard to do.
And if you should say goodbye, I'll still go on loving you.
Each night I ask the stars up above,
Why must I be a teenager in love?
Why must I be a teenager in love? (In love)
Why must I be a teenager in love? (In love)
Why must I be a teenager in love?
