“I am on warp-speed headed directly for the sun; I am Icarus." (opening line of 'Girl on a Bar Stool', new / CreateSpace version)”
“I am a Child of the Twilight. I hold the line against the Darkness, from the setting of the sun to the dawning of a new day. I live for the Light, I die for the Light. My eyes are open, and I am not afraid.”
“I'm drawn, Icarus to the sun. I've been burned already, and yet here I am again.”
“I am not a speed reader. I am a speed understander.”
“Then: I google "time-series visualization" and start work on a new version of my model, thinking that maybe I can impress her with a prototype. I am really into the kind of girl you can impress with a prototype.”
“I am not responsible for actions of the imaginary version of me you have inside your head.”
