i think i should explain this place to anyone who should come trip-trapping here accidentally. i do believe that sometimes people say what we feel and what we are better than we ever could. there are things that i read or hear that strike so close to home, so close that i didn't realize that that was home until it hits. these things, these snippets of the world...they'll make me smile. they'll make me think. and then, i'll forget about them, like a pretty piece of found string that gets placed absentmindedly in a pocket that gets washed. this is a place to put them. there is a good chance that none of the things here make sense to you or ever will. unless, of course, they stick to you...and that's another story...
