Grow up?

Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything.
- Kurt Vonnegut


Can we just be adult-kids; the responsibility of children (none), but the perks of being adults? Is maturity a must? Cuz this...life...and this partial grown-up-ness...is not what it seemed it would be 10 years ago. It's definitely a disappointment.

Thankfully, this quote doesn't end or it would be a disappointment itself. Laughter has definitely been a remedy - the good times one can have in a grown-up world may yet be the best. It does remedy a lot, and I think it is the only cure, the only hope to combat the disappointment one finds in becoming "mature," whatever that really means.

So laugh a lot! Do things that make you happy! Whether it's Caps games or kids' books or video games, keep it up.

Turn on your Imagination!

Why?
Because:

"Everything you can imagine is real."

- Pablo Picasso

What are you hoping for, wishing, or imagining?
I found this quote in the beginning of John Connolly's novel The Book of Lost Things.

Looks like Crazy

..."because by now we were all old enough to know that what looks like crazy on an ordinary day looks a lot like love if you catch it in the moonlight."

From What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day...

True...

Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining.

Yes, it is

"Desultory Inspirations" for those of you who are:

a) dyslexic - though it should work out for you alright,

b) too lazy to read backwards,

and/or

c) actually cannot read backwards.

I hope this to be an educational experience, for me and, if you exist, for you.

I don't know what will become of this place in the end, but it will be thematically random. In a world of colliding dichotomies, I hope this will be a place where I can work through things and find some answers.

Maybe through my rambling thoughts on random ideas, you too will be

Desultorily Inspired!
