Coleman Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Happiness only true when shared Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild. Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom.

Cp44 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 If ignorance is bliss and patience is a virtue, you'll have a good life if your dumb enough to wait. Remember it’s not what you know, it’s not even who you know, it’s how you USE what you know and who you know. One step further, it’s not who you know, it’s who knows YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodle Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) Faith is the quality that enables you to eat blackberry jam on a picnic without looking to see whether the seeds move. Playing a pipe organ is kind of like having sex with an octopus, except it sounds far better, its not an abomination of nature and you probably won't get anything bitten off. -- HellPope Huey Edited October 20, 2010 by noodle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about the Iranian Embassy siege; "One guy managed to act like a hostage until we had them all outside. We realised who he was and started to drag him back inside to finish the job but a woman grabbed him and started crying saying he had been kind to them. There were news crews there so we couldn't make a scene so we arrested him. Later someone said it would have been a savage thing to do. I don't think so. Savage implies a level of hatred. I didn't hate him. I felt sorry for him. He was about to die and I was the one with the machine-gun". SAS soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
