Marcus Aurelius Ceasar

Not EVERYONE who was an emperor of the Roman empire ran around fucking horses and what not.

Marcus Aurelius was the nice old bloke in "Gladiator".


The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
- Marcus Aurelius

The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away.
- Marcus Aurelius

The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.
- Marcus Aurelius

The sexual embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer.
- Marcus Aurelius

The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.
- Marcus Aurelius

To the wise, life is a problem; to the fool, a solution.
- Marcus Aurelius

Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late; the good lived yesterday.
- Marcus Aurelius

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
- Marcus Aurelius

We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.
- Marcus Aurelius

Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.
- Marcus Aurelius

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
- Marcus Aurelius

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
- Marcus Aurelius

My Day

The doctor told my mother I'm showing excellent development for a two year old and for kicks I've started messaging random chicks on myspace telling them to stay away from my boyfriend.

Then I pick some guy who's commented them and claim to be their closet gay lover.

This is why you don't see me getting bored and posting those stupid surveys. I already know who I am and I'm not booorrrriiinnnggggg.

I mean theres a couple of guys who want to smash me for claiming to be their gay lover, but hey. I know I'm an asshole. But i'm also free tonight.

But as part of my reintegration into the mainstream community I went to Birkenhead. I was amazed to find they live very much similarly to the way my people do in Grey Lynn, despite not living close to clubs and the kind of cafes where cool people hang out, they appear to live relatively normal lives.

We bought a new printer for work yesterday, so I built a base out of the box it came in in the hall. It has a docking bay for friendly spaceships, as well as a bunker I can get inside for when enemies attack.
