After taking time to consider the best means for posting this, I think I'll just keep updating this one post.

Here goes:


"There are only two ways to live your life. One as though nothing
is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

Albert Einstein

This appears to be the fallacy of the excluced middle.

Living your life as though somethings are more of a miracle, and some more mundane, seems to work well for a lot of people.

Then again, caffeine is to me a miracle (drug), though to others it but one more, mundane chemical.

Where ya sit determines what ya see.

I just remind myself that life is mostly filled with misery and mindless selfishness, then sometimes I'm surprised by a moment of joy or a pleasant intelligent conversation here and there. It seems like a miracle.

*grumble grumble*

And if they pay you well, you should at least try to look good. Deion Sanders' basically stole from the Redskins in the 2000 season by taking a big chunk of money to play. He played well in some of the games (about two of them) but mostly he seemed to be planning his retirement. His ego was there all season though. Instead of bringing a winning attitude to a team that needed it, he seemed to relish denigrating everyone but himself.

The quote and your recollection does not seem to match at all to the athlete I remember named Deion Sanders. It does however, sound exactly like someone called 'Prime Time' would say.

DOH! You got me questioning me memory. Deion and Prime Time were in the same body. Has it really been 7 years??? Jeez.

After my house burned down, I could see the moon more clearly
Zen saying

After we cut and burned all the trees down, we could see the moon more clearly until a century later when the resultant runaway greenhouse effect turned Earth into a Venusian hell where sunlight could not penetrate to the scalding poisonous surface.

(The good news: No more terrorists! The bad news: a stagnant market, no housing starts, no new jobs, etc., just a couple hundred million year recession during which intelligent (?) life might evolve. Might. Or, might not.)

This reminds me of Henry Ford's quote, "Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right."

Good quotes!

That is more due to your neighbor failing to close the blinds in his bathroom than your house burning down.

They only do what they are told to do by people who often have no idea how to say what they want.
