          Anytime someone asks what I am or have been up to:

          "Oh you know, just hanging out and playing nintendo".

          No one I've ever met got that it was a direct movie quote.

            If I take a lamp and shine it toward the wall, a bright spot will appear on the wall. The lamp is our search for truth, for understanding. Too often we assume that the light on the wall is God. But the light is not the goal of the search; it is the result of the search. The more intense the search, the brighter the light on the wall. The brighter the light on the wall, the greater the sense of revelation upon seeing it! Similarly, someone who does not search, who does not bring a lantern with him, sees nothing. What we perceive as God, is the byproduct of our search for God. It may simply be an appreciation of the light, pure and unblemished, not understanding that it comes from us. Sometimes we stand in front of the light and assume that we are the center of the universe. God looks astonishingly like we do! Or we turn to look at our shadow, and assume that all is darkness. If we allow ourselves to get in the way, we defeat the purpose; which is to use the light of our search to illuminate the wall in all its beauty… and in all its flaws. And in so doing better understand the world around us.

                              I must be too online lol because I thought there's no way somebody doesn't know Epic Rap Battles of history. Pretty sure they're one of the biggest YouTube channels.

                              My opinion of them is tainted, because growing up my older brother was a little too obsessed with the Vader vs. Hitler one. Like there's no way it isn't concerning that he could recite the whole thing from memory...

                                a retort to: "that's not possible" / "that's impossible"

                                "No. It's necessary."

                                ... probably not that obscure, but it is a fave. 🙂

                                      In context, they don't know where the baby came from, it just appeared in the mess that is the props room. So he was being an oblivious not having baby guy.

                                      In reality it was the guy who was holding its baby. He knows it's cute, it's his baby lol.
