I was a listener in the woods
I was a gazer at the stars
I was not blind where secrets are concerned
I was silent in the wilderness
I was talkative among many
I was mild in the mead-hall
I was stern in battle
I was gentle towards allies
I was a physician of the sick
I was weak towards the feeble
I was strong towards the powerful
I was not parsimonious lest I should be burdensome
I was not arrogant though I was wise
I was not given to vain promises though I was strong
I was not unsafe though I was swift
I did not deride the old though I was young
I was not boastful though I was a good fighter
I would not speak about anyone in their absence
I would not reproach but I would praise
I would not ask but I would give

Cormac MacCuileannáin
King and Poet of Cashel, AD 836_908

Watched Kiwi movie called housebound last night was pretty good if you're into that sort of thing. I don't usually go for horror but it was cool.

Trump says I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven.

Humorous text meme: "I tried donating blood today...NEVER AGAIN!!!
Too many stupid questions. Whose blood is it? Where did you get it from? Why is it in a bucket?"
