(This is me. rON. blowfish. I'll post anonymously, if you want to reply
to me that way. If what's in here strikes you, write!)

Note: This is the sum of rON. It makes up a lot of who I am, what I
believe in, and how I feel about things. In other words, its a big
summation of myself, done up in quotes, poems and song. Enjoy.

	"Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and
	then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath.
	At night, the ice weasels come."

"Breathe, breathe in the air-
 Don't be afraid to care.
 Leave, but don't leave me-
 Look around, choose your own ground.
 For long you live, and high you fly,
 The smiles you give and tears you cry,
 And all you touch and all you see,
 Is all your life will ever be."-Pink Floyd

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled, and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music, years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn't play.
And in the streets the children screamed,
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken,
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most,
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost-
They caught the last train for the coast-
The day, the music, died.
And they were singing-
Bye-bye miss american pie.
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry.
And them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singing "This will be the day that I die,
This will be the day that I die..."

American Pie- Don McClean.

"If I gave you everything that I owned,
 and asked for nothing in return,
 would you do the same for me as I would for you?
 Or take me for a ride,
 and strip me of everything, including my pride?
 But spirit is something that no one destroys.
 And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
 of the low spark of high heeled boys'. -Traffic

Squid: Logic does not exist during sleep. Egro, if one is asleep, one cannot
       logically deduce that one is not awake. I, however, am awake, ergo, I
       can logically infer that you are not asleep, Q.E.D.
Ernie: Flawed logic, Mr. Squid! I am dreaming that I am asleep. Egro, you
       either a) do not exist or b) if you do exist, you are dreaming that you
       are awake.
Squid: Forget it, Ernie, it's obvious I'm smarter than you!
Ernie: Oh, yeah, how do you figure that?
Squid: For one thing, I'm not arguing logic with a squid.....

"Find the Queen without a King,
 They say she plays guitar and cries, and sings,
 La la la la-
 Ride a white mare to the footsteps of her door,
 Tryin' to find a woman who's never never never been born.
 Standin' on a hill in the mountain of dreams
 Tellin' myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems..."

This section contains varied song bits and quotes, relevant mostly to
my current existance....

"Bottle blondes and beach boys, they might marvel at the size,
 But honey, something that big- you know the best don't advertise"

"They got a name for the winners in the world-
 I want a name when I lose-
 ...they call me Deacon Blues..."

"...got to teach and everything you learn'll
 point to the fact that time is eternal." 

"What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? She lost her head and you know
 she isn't the same. Living on reds, vitamin C and cocaine, all her friends
 can say is ain't it a shame"

"Don't ya think that you need somebody?
 Don't ya think that you need someone?
 Everybody needs somebody-
 You're not the only one,
 You're not the only one."

"See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
 Listening to you, I get the music-
 Gazing at you, I get the heat-
 Following you, I climb the mountain-
 I get excitement at your feet.
 Right behind you, I see the millions-
 On you, I see the glory-
 From you, I get opinions-
 From you, I get the story."

"They think its very funny, everything I say-
 Get a load of him, he's so insane:
 Better get your coat, dear, it looks like rain.
 ...Is the nightmare black or are the windows painted?
 Another glimpse of the madman across the water..."

"The principals of lust, are easy to understand...."

"Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another."

"Where is my love life? Where can it be?
 There must be someting wrong with the machinery.
 Where is my love life? Where has it gone?
 Somebody please tell me what the hell is wrong.
 'Til I find the rightous one...computer blue" 

"Lunatic Fringe, I know you're out there..."

"All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground, and my eyes fill
 with sand, as I scale this wasted land, tryin' to find, tryin' to find,
 the way I feel."

"I was born with an age old desire:
 to be on the edge of seventeen."

"The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity"

"I'm so tall, and you're so cute, let's play wild like wildcats do.
 You're gonna rock you're tall cool one, 
 I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna say that ahhhhhhh.
 You stroll, you jump, your hot and you tease,
 Cuz I'm your tall cool one and I'm built to please"

"Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispell, as she walks me through
  the nicest parts of hell.
 I still dream of lips I never should have kissed, well she knows
  exactly what I can't resist.
 If she says come inside, I'll come inside for her.
 If she says give it all, I'll give everything to her.
 I am justified. I am sanctified. I am purified. Inside you"

"I- I who fashioned myself and angel or a sorcerer, I, who dispensed with
 all morality, I have come back to earth." - Rimbaud.

"...Since White's stone comes out badly positioned, this sequence is not
 completely unplayable, but it is a shame to start by giving White so
 much territory. That tends to make the game close." -Miyamoto.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice -- even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss, and when.
Remember that two wrongs never make a right,
But that three do.
Wherever possible, put people on 'hold'.
Be comforted, that in the face of all ardity and disillusionment,
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer instruction.

             You are a fluke of the universe...
             You have no right to be here.
             Whether you can hear it or not, the universe
             Is laughing behind your back.
