Personal:

A click of the hand on the clock...

    By Jack Grant

...and suddenly, I'm 40.

At least I'm currently in a country where I can understand the language (except for some Welsh and Scots, and certain regions of London... they're speaking English, but I understand French better than the English they speak...).

Well, here's to surviving another trip around the sun.

Funny how we Americans think we speak English properly, but we can't understand a bloody thing those people say. Hope you had a good birthday and don't worry about getting old. We all get to do it... if we're lucky.

We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones


Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
   -Dandemis

Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
