"Dear Virgin Megastore,
You reap what you sow. Your overpriced glitzy extravaganza was doomed from the jump.
Sincerely,
Michael J. O'Neill" - Michael O'Neill
"Andy, having been a father for quite some time I can tell you about one of the great rewards of intimacy with my children are their dreams shared with me. Some of the things I do are for their dreams to have a chance and some for mine. It's always going to be a balance, even when you settle down and you are supposed to "sacrifice" for others." - Michael O'Neill
"I am saying the opportunity to pursue dreams in practical terms has eluded and continues to elude the staggering overwhelming majority of people since forever. If you don't see that than I don't think your perspective of the real world as it is and has been is very accurate. I am saying that dreams are much more beautiful thoughts than just those things beyond basic needs. Dreams are not just lofty goals, they are passions that require a belief or a desire that far exceeds what one could genuinely expect to happen. Yes history tells us of a long thread of dreamers that made differences in their own lives and because of their dreams realized, differences in all our lives - but history is written by and about such winners. For every such historical subject of enlightment there are many more dreary unlight candles. For every celebrated artist, there are ten thousand photoshop hacks making rent. For every inventor of extraordinary new things, there are hundred thousand guys mowing lawns...." - Michael O'Neill
"It's quite "new world" of you to even consider that your dreams matter. For the overwhelming majority of humans in history and currently alive, dreams are just that.
The fact that you see a correlation between dreams and their implementation in reality is a variety of spoiled-ness in my opinion.
I share your spoiled-ness in this regard, but I'm aware that it is in fact what it is." - Michael O'Neill
"I forgot about this. I was testing out the Blogger future posting feature. I thought I might like starting a few posts with future dates, edit them willy-nilly in the interim and see if I liked that.
I had no idea I'd actually get answers!" - Michael O'Neill
