-- "So, I made a 'BUCKET-list'.
…
THEN, I changed the 'B' to an 'F', and now I'm SET."
(--Jerry Seinfeld on 'Late Show with David Letterman')

… NOW/TODAY, I am  ... 12,070 days alive.  And, I've been making GREAT progress lately: 
... This past Monday, my uncle called--on the phone--from Minnesota.  So, I had a lengthy conversation with him--on the phone.
... He remarked how "GREAT it is to hear [my] voice."
... I've COMPLETELY-eliminated my pigeon-toe.

OFTEN I feel super-OLD, 'cuz I canNOT walk, I'm in a wheelchair & I have ... helpers.   


Lucy: Time is the only true unit of measure. 

It gives proof to the existence of matter. Without time, we don't exist.

(--Lucy, 'Lucy')



Professor Norman: "For primitive beings 

like us, life seems to have only one single 
purpose: gaining time. And it is going through time that seems to be also the only real purpose of each of the cells in our bodies. To achieve that aim, the mass of the cells that make up earthworms and human beings has only two solutions. Be immortal, or to reproduce. If its habitat is not sufficiently favorable or nurturing, the cell will choose immortality. In other words, self-sufficiency and self-management. On the other hand, if the habitat is favorable, they will choose to reproduce. That way, when they die, they hand down essential information and knowledge to the next cell. Which hands it down to the next cell and so on. Thus knowledge and learning are handed down through time."

(--Professor Norman, 'Lucy')        









-- "The GREATEST-'trick' the Devil ever 'played' ... was 'CONVINCING the world he didN'T exist."

(--Verbal Kint, 'The Usual Suspects')

(... As of mid-2008 to late-2011, I did-NOT exist, ... according-to the [IGNORANT] American government.)
