Favorite Quote:
Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things. -Ray Bradbury

You say that you love the rain,

Yet you use an umbrella so it can’t dampen your skin.

You say that you enjoy the cold,

But you wear a coat so it can’t get in.

So when you insist that you love me,

How can I not fear for treachery?
