The great advantage of being young is to be without the weight of experience, ignorance, even innocence, was bliss ;-) When I was in my father’s house, and my path ran down with butter and honey I fell in love with Anka Semankova. Then I lived in the cloud of delightful First Love ... We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. The quest for a happy life is just that, a quest, i.e. an ongoing process. Being happy is not a stable or final state, but rather consists in the pursuit of certain goals. Still a rich, rewarding life often requires a messy battle with adversity

Saying this now because I may
never have the courage again.
Oh well, what the fuck...
I kinda sorta really want you.
Like you. Whatever.
Feel free to ignore this or not,
whatever you see fit. To S — First Love

Art of Living & Literature Across Frontiers: Lightning of Favor: If you dìe. Love for Cold River on Demand continues ...
If Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling's favorite day of delight in the year is October 31 -- Halloween -- my favorite day of the year is every day above the ground

On Friday, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington overturned the District Court jury verdict from last year that found Lightning Source (and its licensee Amazon) had infringed on the On Demand Machine Corporation's patent for print-on-demand manufacturing. The judges unanimously concluded that "no reasonable jury could find infringement on the correct claim construction."
That's because the appeals court interpreted the patent more narrowly. They note that "the printing of a single copy of a book, using computer technology and high-speed printing," existed before On Demand's patent was awarded, and said that patent only covers direct kiosk-style consumer sales.
