QQ ~ Deepak Chopra

"Bliss is my very nature. I need not do anything nor strive for anything to secure it. Bliss follows me wherever I go. It is more real to me than my own body. It is nearer to me than my own mind. Happiness that is dependent on something is only another form of misery."

 ~~ A rishis perspective as quoted by Deepak Chopra

"Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down."

Man, this really speaks to me.  A LOT!  

I carry a little notebook in my purse wherever I go so I can write down the funny things I hear/say/witness, or play ideas, or blog post ideas, or phone numbers, or whatever else I need to remember.  Yup.  Absolutely everything I need to remember.  EXCEPT....

...the best porn name EVAH!  Whilst I was drinking & chatting & joking with Shirley Rice & Digger in my hotel room at festivus in November, the best porn name evah came up in conversation.  & I claimed it.  As mine.  It was a play on words of a celebrity name, & a dirty word.  Kinda like Sandra Bullock would become Sandra Ballsack.   Except that's not it.  Feel free to take it as your own cuz I don't want it.  It's not THE name & I shall accept nothing less. 

Due to the ingestion of a large amount of martinis, I failed to write this ingenius name down.  In fact, I actually forgot all about it for...um... a month or so.  The others who were there also cannot remember.  

I am bereft.

QQ ~ Norman Mailer

"I think women are afraid to say that they don’t want children because they’re going to get shunned. But I think that’s changing too now. I have more girlfriends who don’t have kids than those that do. And honestly? We don’t need any more kids. We have plenty of people on this planet."

QQ ~ W. Somerset Maugham
