“Wherever there’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever there’s a cop beating up a guy, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad. I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready. And when the people eat the stuff they raise, and living in the houses they build, I’ll be there, too.”

- Tom Joad (Henry Fonda) The Grapes of Wrath (screenplay Nunnally Johnson) adapted from John Steinbeck’s novel of the same name.

This is one of my favourite movie quotes. I don’t think anyone else could have said it better than Henry Fonda. Every time I think of this quote, it makes me want to fight for the underdog. :) jojo

Free sheep and goat manure, a rugged beauty shoveling the shit, “I manifested this shit” - mixing with mountain soil in rotting raised beds, separate shit storm with customs, done and dealt with, afternoon at the range, heating up the paternal heirloom 30/30, taking shots at a poster of me, “what would a psychiatrist say about that?” An exercise in ego repression, a metaphoric murder, took one to the cheek, with the 45-70 he said, “I’m going to put one between your eyes”. Pistols and bank propped orange day glo clay pigeons. “Where’d you learn to shoot like that?”

we-all-share-one-moon:

“Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and I think that is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Other animals make their livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderful they think it is. It would be good to give up that way of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with plenty of free time. I think that the way animals live in the tropics, stepping outside in the morning and evening to see if there is something to eat, and taking a long nap in the afternoon, must be a wonderful life. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.”

Here is Keegan Meenagh with his Beard Token. He wrote, “I got my Beard Token bundle today. shirt, token, and bottle opener, however I am not in the mood for celebration. I live in Oklahoma City and I was terrified at the tornado that occurred not to far from my house. For all my bearded brethren out there, maybe your beard tokens could go towards the victims here in Oklahoma City and Moore. I am very fortunate to be alright, but my aunts and uncles have lost their houses as well as countless others who need help.” We’re feeling for all the people affected by this and will help anyway we can. We’re going to donate 50% of all sales for the rest of the week to help. http://beardtoken.com/

““When you plant seeds in the garden, you don’t dig them up every day to see if they have sprouted yet. You simply water them and clear away the weeds; you know that the seeds will grow in time. Similarly, just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart. Abandon impatience and instead be content creating the causes for goodness; the results will come when they’re ready.””

GPOY. Had oral surgery yesterday, a root implant, upper lip swollen like you wouldn’t believe, feel like groundskeeper Willie from the Simpson’s, and all hopped up on narcotic pain killers, mixing with booze, should be an interesting evening.

He wrote, “i am a bearded sommelier and my main mission is to make people happy and understand that wine is a simple product. Life is too short to drink bad wine, so here i am!” I love hearing the stories behind the Beard Tokens.

“Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”
