That is a photograph of me getting my draft on, at the first Pro Circuit, choosing my Inmates.  Someone's life was about to change.  Life?  What is life?

(I love the smell of metaphor in the morning.) 

1. Life is a fabulous art exhibition, and each of us creates a masterpiece for the big gallery in the sky.

2. Life is a dog show, and every human is a mutt.

3. Life is a question mark, with no correct answer.

4. Life is a never ending pouring, from one cup into another.

5. Life is an empty stomach, learning to stay hungry.

6. Life is a gaze into the mirror, and eventually we will see ourselves clearly.

7. Life is a hermit crab, looking for a new shell.

8. Life is one long sigh, knowing the void on the other side.

9. Life is an unexplainable sculpture method, crafting something from nothing.

10. Life is an opinion poll, with an infinite margin of error.

11.  Life is a game that you win by playing.

12.  Life is a huge string of adjectives, all describing this equation:

Infinity = 1 = 0

13.  Life is a list of metaphors, gone exponential.

Now you know the meaning of life, get out there and live it up!

Okay gang, it's time to show the hater(s?) what we are made of.  Thankfully, there are only a tiny few nasty boys left on the boards.  Let's leave them behind and really progress this time, as a community.

I just found some spectacular aphorisms that are very appropriate at this moment in our evolution as a trading card game commmunity.  (Thanks Sandy!)

 We can do this.  I know we can.  Let's take these to heart, and keep the good vibes going until the "dead body" of our beloved game jumps up and starts dancing wildly again.

1. Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
2. Words that soak into the ears are whispered, not yelled.
3. Meanness doesn't just happen overnight.
4. Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.
5. Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
6. It doesn't take a very big person to carry a grudge.
7. You cannot unsay a cruel word.
8. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
