It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.
And it’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at.
Everybody gets knocked down, how quick are you gonna get up?
The Battle of the Wolves
February 10th, 2010 · Comments · Tangential
This short anecdote was shared to me by a friend over at RR. Perfect for my heavily-introspective mood lately. But really, who doesn’t like short nuggets of wisdom?

Invictus
January 20th, 2010 · Comments · Tangential
My favorite poem. Written by English poet William Ernest Henley in 1875.

Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place [...]

December 3rd, 2009 · Comments · Tangential
The Burj Dubai, currently the tallest man-made structure in the world. See, before I read about what was really happening there, I would have looked at this picture and be wowed. Now it just looks like Orthanc during Saruman’s reign.

A Letter to the Old Philippines

A shot of Roxas Boulevard and Manila Bay, circa 1960 (via)
Pearl of the Orient, where did you go? I never got to know you. No more pristine blue waters. No more uncongested roads. No more litter-free surroundings. No more unobstructed blue skies. No more dignified politicians. Lesser artists which are truly admirable. Lesser people hopeful [...]

The Beatles 3000
November 28th, 2009 · Comments · Music, Tangential
1000 years in the future, the legacy of John, Paul, Greg, and Scottie remains.
It’s like one of the old “In The Year 3000″ segments on Conan O’ Brien’s show. Funny!
