Junkyard! YEAH! Pt. 2

So, my cat initially posted a blank blog post for me. Thank you, Moose. You're the best cat in my life. Therefore, I dedicate this Junkyard listing to you.

QUOTE #1

"In rearranging the structure of this dish, I have challenged your conception of "DISH"... I have caused you to SEE this dish in a new way.."
Bucky katt from Get Fuzzy

+ I really like this quote because it really just reminds me of any cat that I've ever had. They always seem prone to knock my pottery down on the floor and break it, but never seem to really care. In case you didn't know, what Bucky is referring to is the dish he broke. He then called it art. I feel as though Moose would most certainly do the same

QUOTE# 2

"you forget Zach, I have arms on my head!"
Samuel Thompson, my good friend

+He totally meant that his arms were propping his head up and were therefore near his head, but it gave me mental images of him having head arms. That image is worthy of a poem, it is. I found it both interesting and flavorful for lack of a better word.

QUOTE# 3

"Fatigue is all in your head, David. You must learn to not require things like sleep, food, or toilets."

+Nick Bruce, my good friend

+Though admittedly, some of the funny things he says are from other sources, and therefore, this could be a misquote, he tends to say very amusing things to me. This was one of them. I was trying to look up something online without a computer, using my training that he claims he gave me. I mentioned I was too weak and this was his response. It was an interesting phrase that I think could find its way into a poem.

QUOTE# 4

"Shoot for the stars! If by chance you hit one, you'll likely combust."

Me

+This was a thing I said long, long ago. I am still trying to figure out if I meant anything by it. I possibly meant that shooting for the highest point possible, striving to improve is great, but that it is entirely possible to grind yourself to powder in the process. Slow down. Live.

QUOTE# 5

"End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise."

Gandalf from Lord of the Rings

+I love this quote and I don't know why. He has such a peace with this life that he can be assured that there really is nothing to fear in death. Such security and hope in a thing that normally mortifies people.
