So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality, nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit. | | | | | Anthony Hopkins in "Magic" (1978) (20th Century Fox) | | | | |  | “So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality, nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit.”

| | rantnrave:// I still haven't found what I'm looking for. I don't know what it is or where to find it... Could you advocate positions you don't believe in for a living?... Is sleeping a form of being in THE MATRIX?... Best thriller right now for your holiday down time? ZERO DAYS on SHOWTIME by ALEX GIBNEY. Edge of your seat thriller in doc form. Watched 4 times and counting... I watch THE MARTIAN just about every time I come by it on television. This is why... For the most part, I'm a fan of open systems. Don't think you can compete and be great at everything. APIs and data flow allow for some cool collaborations. Love how STARZ integrates SPOTIFY into their new app. Simple. No NIH... "The First President of Our Post-Literate Age"... Happy Birthday to DANIELLE SCHACHTER, KARINA LEPINER, JED SAVAGE, TALY RUSSELL, JASON LABEACH, SUEJIN YANG, and RON VAISBORT. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
