Humility breeds substance [a retraction of myself]

 Oscar Wilde



"The supreme vice is shallowness."
--from "De Profundis" (1897)

On September nights like these I would go to Bar Italia in my home city of Winnipeg. I would feel the soft amber air in solace of a very eccentric place to sit and just be in. There I felt a sublime vibe waiting for anything to happen, like a thought or a word training my mind to be the man I wanted. Now I am on the outside looking in to an establishment that I traded many secrets with, has become a pick up joint for white trash and macho gimmickry. It is very sad.


What reality is made when my minds energy forms into matter:

1- Commit to putting out real fires not the smell of arson so much of reality is made.
2- Remember what you are worth, never say die.
3- Be humble in creating your new beginnings with others.

"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone."
-- Lady Bracknell, from Act I, "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1895)
