Wazo the Wildcard by Todd Lyons
“Chaos is just logic that decided to be flamboyant. Logic is merely the polite cousin of chaos, tiptoeing through life in sensible shoes.”

“A rejection letter from the Goodreads Author program invites you to respond to the email while changing the title and re-sending all the information you sent the first time.
Then, that email bounces back rejected with a note that says they no longer use that email address. It advises me to reapply using the same contact form that they originally rejected me with.
The clincher: I was rejected because my website uses a contact form, too.
No thanks, Goodreads.”
Todd Lyons

“You no longer pretend you’re climbing a ladder. You’ve kicked it over and made a quaint/kitschy bench out of the pieces. (Depends on who sees it.)”
Todd Lyons, You Tried: A Deadbeat’s Guide to Self-Actualization

“Most days, I feel like I’m doing my best attempt at impersonating a normal human being.
Results vary.”
Todd Lyons, You Tried: A Deadbeat’s Guide to Self-Actualization

“Scratch any cynic and you will find a disappointed idealist.”
George Carlin

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”
Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.”
Brene Brown

“I'm not a failure. I just haven't succeeded yet.”
Arnold J. Rimmer
