Today is the first day of the rest of my bloglife.

Rather than start with a self-promotional post or a rant that inspires the radical edges of my base to take up arms against those with whom I disagree... I thought it best to start with a few quotes to give you a taste of how I think.

~Barney

"It is the best of times. It is the worst of times. It is the age of wisdom. It is the age of foolishness. It is the epoch of belief. It is the epoch of incredulity. It is the season of light. It is the season of darkness. It is the spring of hope. It is the winter of despair. I have everything before me. I have nothing before me. I am going direct to heaven. I am going direct the other way…"
-Charles Dickens


"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." ~Muhammad Ali


"Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?"
-Walt Whitman



I'll continue to add things that anger, bemuse, confuse, delight, inform and inspire me.... I hope they move you to think/learn/teach/act...  Thanks for taking your time.
