Rearranging


 A great number of people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

My Philosophy

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

Imagination

I like nonsense, it wakes up brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of the telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.


(Dr. Seuss)

Freedom

Power

My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave.

I'm on the Facebook.

I've decided to join the cool kids in the Facebook nation. Follow-me. See what I'm up to. It's good for the soul. I might join the Twitter too. I don't know. I don't know if I'll have enough time.

Snorts,

Pilgrim.

Game Play

These young guys are playing checkers. I'm out there playing chess.

Gamble

There is something about jumping a horse over a fence, something that makes you feel good. Perhaps it's the risk, the gamble. In any event it's a thing I need.

An assessment of Canada.

I've been to Canada, and I've always gotten the impression that I could take the country in about two days.


(Jon Stewart)

Pilgrim lives in lower Manhattan with his humans. He's a howler, not a barker.
