Strange how the sun always seemed to shine brighter and warmer - in retrospect. A glimpse of your life that was a pleasure to read. Thank you for sharing it.

For some reason this poem reminds me of the time that I went to Italy with my parents; we went on a wine tasting trip. I remember standing on a small wooden bridge overlooking the vineyard, pissed out of my skull, thinking about Italian ass.

It's amazing what effect wine can have, Dennet. But didn't you think about Italian ass when you were sober? I know I would have.

Yes, Luigi. It was the year that I discovered how to bum a lilo. There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennet

That quote refers to priests harping on about God. It comes from Daniel C Dennet's 'Breaking the Spell - Religion as a Natural Phenomena'. There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennet

Many thanks for the explanation, Dennet. I confess that I am completely ignorant in the matters of religion and that Daniel C Dennet is unknown to me. Is your name purely coincidental or are you related?

Nah, No coincidence. Maybe it looks misleading but I was just noting the author's name after the quote. My name's Yan. There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennet

I'm not sure...I'll check it out and amend if need be. There's nothing more mind-teasing than the incomprehensible eagerly avowed - Dennet
