favourite woody allen quotes...

i think you either love or hate woody.
while some people just tolerate him, they are still caught laughing at him on occasion.

Natasha, to love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But, then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love, to be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy, therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness, I hope you're getting this down.
– Love and Death

We are all faced throughout our lives with agonizing decisions, moral choices. Some are on a grand scale; most of our choices are on lesser points, but we define ourselves by the choices we have made. We are, in fact, the sum total of our choices.

It is only we, with our capacity to love, that give meaning to the indifferent universe. And yet, most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying, and even to find joy, from simple things like the family, their work, and from the hope that future generations might understand more.

recently i have been exposed to some SRV...



recently i have been exposed to some stevie ray vaughan videos by a co-worker. i always dug his renditions of hendrix tracks, and i am not particularly a fan of the blues, but srv transcends the category, and took guitar playing where no one has gone before.
i have never seen anything like it and never will.
no disrespect to jimi, but srv is something unworldly.
