He should be a household name, as his description of our country is as curious and revealing now as it was is his day.<BR/><BR/>Updog, your comment reminds me of a Walter Evans quote. "Stare. Pry. Listen. Eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long."<BR/><BR/>I always liked that one.Hungry Hyaenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354349850246750046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167350.post-1120140051372407752005-06-30T07:00:00.000-07:002005-06-30T07:00:00.000-07:00Funny thing is, I always thought it was Jewbecca.....Funny thing is, I always thought it was Jewbecca... As in Rebecca the jew. Ooops. Not a chick, my bad.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think that the first and most important step in any of this is active engagement in our immediate surroundings. The challenge, so it seems to me, is to assert ourselves in every aspect of our lives-- to stay aware and alert even in the most menial of surroundings.<BR/>Yes, it IS important to look out the subway window.<BR/>Yes, it IS important to know who your neighbors are and how their lives work.<BR/>Yes, it IS important to poke around in the attic and the basement.<BR/>Too often, we forsake the ordinary in favor of the dramatic and the epic without realizing that the most awsome of epics is unravelling before us. <BR/>Banality is a lie.<BR/>So I play this little game: whenever I am bored, frustrated, or simply have a few moments I stop and say to myself, "Notice something."<BR/>Right now it is a ding in the wall by the window... it's too high for a casual impact, so I wonder how it got there.<BR/>Trivial? Absolutely, but you don't get fit by doing a single push-up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167350.post-1120099095196958712005-06-29T19:38:00.000-07:002005-06-29T19:38:00.000-07:00It's a pleasure to know that you like to visit HH ...It's a pleasure to know that you like to visit HH and flame me, Jewbacca, offending both Jews and Wookies in the process.<BR/><BR/>Next time, though, you should go wild with your witty remarks. Maybe something like, "You're a dumb-dumb homo" or "Homos 'R Us is HH's favorite store." Those are real zingers.Hungry Hyaenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354349850246750046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167350.post-1120098008830553272005-06-29T19:20:00.000-07:002005-06-29T19:20:00.000-07:00HH is a Homo Homo...HH is a Homo Homo...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
