The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels, but every time we think we have measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we’re reminded that that capacity may well be limitless.

The Hole Story

Leo to Josh:

”This guy is walking down a street, when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep, he can’t get out. A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up, “Hey you! Can you help me out?”The doctor writes him a prescription, throws it down the hole and moves on.

Then, a priest comes along and the guy shouts up, “Father, I’m down in this hole, can you help me out?” The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on.

Then, a friend walks by. “Hey Joe, it’s me, can you help me out?” And the friend jumps in the hole! Our guy says, “Are you stupid? Now we’re both down here!” and the friend says, “Yeah, but I’ve been down here before, and I know the way out.””

The Hand Drawn Map Association

I don’t know how many of you know about my obsession with maps. It started with West Wing, it was fuelled by Paper Towns and it peaked with the English seminar I took this semester about maps and identity. Maps tell us so much about the people who drew them, how they saw themselves, how they saw other people, how they saw themselves in relation to other people. The 2D representation of a 3D (and 4D? I don’t know how these things work) planet is always going to be a lie. But just because it doesn’t present perfectly what is actually there doesn’t mean it doesn’t tell us different interesting things about the planet as someone else sees it. And that’s all we have, really, isn’t it? Snippets of how other people see things? How other people negotiate their day to day life in relation to one another and in relation to the physical land around them and in relation to the ideas circulating in their societies and everyone else’s societies?

I like maps. This is my new favourite website.

Guilt-free Saturday mornings watching The West Wing. Ah, the freedom that comes upon handing in an essay.

Nobody got hurt at the Boston Tea Party. The only people that got hurt were some fancy boys who didn’t have anything to wash down their crumpets with. We jumped out from behind bushes, while the British came down the road in their bright red jackets, but never has a war been so courteously declared. It was on parchment with calligraphy and, “Your highness, we beseech you on this day in Philadelphia to bite me, if you please.
