i am thinking today may be a conglomeration of random posts. i'm working. i know i haven't found something to post yet for today's official "stealing saturday", but its coming.

for now, i would like to say that i have just decided to learn more about nelson mandela. he is so uber cool. wow. i think that all the words i've heard from his mouth (so far) have been extremely inspirational. for example:

"where people of goodwill get together and transcend their differences for the common good, peaceful and just solutions can be found even for those problems wich seem most intractable." -nelson mandela

i found this book called "wisdom" i want to get. it has quotations and pictures of 50 very inspirational luminaries or philanthropists. all the royalties will be split 50 ways and donated to the charities of the subject's choice. wowee. isn't that sooooooo my kind of book? trouble is... i've got about 130 books (literally) which i need to read before i can start buying new books. seriously. i went on a book buying spree. actually- i don't quite think i stopped buying books... i'm just not reading as quickly as i'm buying.

so maybe i should stop typing, and start reading? i'm thinking i should be able to start "wisdom" in january... we will see.
