And how have you all been?
I, myself, have meandered through the many streets of Miami, indulging in all its treats.
life's been a wild string of events; and although it's been delightful and broadening, my conscience aches to my throbbing temples.

I did well in school, so I'm heading up to Sarasota.
I'm so ecstatic...

Been reading Nietzsche, so hear's a few good quotes.

Man is a rope,
tied between beast and ubermensch --
a rope over an abyss.
A dangerous passing,
A dangerous looking back,
a dangerous shuddering and stopping.

I teach men
no longer bury one's head in the sand of heavenly things

bear it freely,
an earthly head which creates a meaning for the earth.

"Inexpressible and nameless is that which gives my soul agony and sweetness and is even the hunger of my entrails."

"Once you suffered passions and called them evil. But now you have only your virtues left: they grew out of your passions. You commended your highest goal to the heart of these passions: then they become your virtues and passions you enjoyed...in the end all your passions became virtues and all your devils, angels."

"As I am well disposed toward life, butterflies and soap bubbles and whatever among men is of their kind seem to know most oabout happiness. Seeing these light, foolish, delicate, mobile little souls flutter - that secudes Zarathustra to tear and songs."

"The more man aspires to the height and light, the more strongly do his roots strive earthward, downward, into the dark, the deep -- into evil!"
