I have a higher and grander expectation of life than average and everyday, but I am a realist and understand that life is 90% mediocre and 10% amazing; I can lie to myself, living as ignorance is bliss, but Instead, I choose to enjoy every bit grand or low.

Literary Tag...

This is a first for me too...Dragonraid. Here goes:

The rules
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people

My first go:
Nearest Book: I and Thou

5th sentence: "The innate You is actualized each time without ever being perfected."

3 next sentences: "It attains perfection solely in the immediate relationship to the You that in accordance with its nature cannot become an It. Men have addressed their eternal You by many names. When they sang out what they had thus named, they still meant You: the first myths were hymns of praise."

Lets give it another try:
2nd Nearest Book: Miss Marple The Complete Short Stories...by my favorite author Dame Agatha Christie...mmmm

5th sentence: "Yes, it was rather tough luck on Miss Barton-or Miss Amy Durant-whatever you like to call her.

3 next sentences: I became a ship's doctor for a while, and landing in Melbourne, the first person I saw as I walked down the street was the lady I thought had been drowned in Cornwall. Shew saw the game was up as far as I was concerned, and she did the bold thing-took me into her confidence. A curious woman, completely lacking, I suppose, in some moral sense."

Tag your it:

Mr. Stark
