Ray Bradbury: Thank you for your vision, entertainment and passion


 Let's Sing the Body Electric with Ray Bradbury 1920 - 2012
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/06/ray_bradbury_1920-2012_fahrenh.html
In 2009, at a lecture celebrating the first anniversary of a small library in Southern California's San Gabriel Valley, he exhorted his listeners to live their lives as he said he had lived his: "Do what you love and love what you do."
"If someone tells you to do something for money, tell them to go to hell," he shouted to raucous applause.

The 'Basically I'm a Nice Person' Syndrome

Basically I'm a nice person
until I open up my big fat mouth
and start judging others who are not like me.
Or when I justify all the bad things that I've done
and pretty much blame them on other people.
Of course there are times I gossip
with slanderous and seditious talk
but then again it's just talk.
Or the times when I kvetch, gripe and whine
about the weather, about not having enough of money,
about my family and friends,
about everything under the sky
but it doesn't mean that I'm not a nice person.
I do make a fool of myself
saying things I don't mean
but it's just one of those thing
that I do without thinking
because I don't want to think too much.
But I think animals are beneath us
and people are crazy to treat them as though
they are our equals.
Who cares if they die or go extinct right?
Oh, and I also feel nature has to make way for development.
Hey, you want a nice car,
a nice home to go with it,
technological gadgets for convenience,
lots of accessories
and vacations don't you?
That's what factories are for.
I know some people suffer more than others
but that's life, that's how it is, that's the way it goes.
You can't change destiny,
people are fated with their own sorrows
so all I can do is pity them.
I know I inherited
all the wealth, all the luxuries, all the greatness
from my ancestors,
but you can't blame me for my good fortune, right?
The gods just love me more in that way
but I don't like to brag about it.
I'm actually very humble.
I'm also very generous when I give
money away to poor people
that I take from rich people.
But like I say,
I'm basically a very nice person
I don't think I've ever done any bad things,
just a few slips here and there is all.
If you happen to meet me
I'm very sure you'll like me
because I know I'll like you.
I heart you.
Vote for me won't you?
Long live me.

Go, where your Heart takes you

Go,
where your heart takes you.
Never
for a moment
doubt the whispers
of that inner voice.
You can be directed,
guided or shown the way,
but your heart
will be the only one
that knows
what you need.
Take a moment
to think things through
but let your heart
be the light.
Let it remain ageless.
Let it take the helm.
It has been with you
from your first breath,
and it will be with you
till your last.
You can trust it
with love,
you can confide in it
for decisions,
and you can expect it
to always carry you through.
Go,
where your heart takes you.
Go,
where you need to go.
