below is one of my favorite quotes from the movie "Harold and Maude."
I hope you enjoy it....and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Maude: What a fuss this is -- so unnecessary.
Harold: Don't die, Maude, for Christ’s sake.
Maude: Oh, Harold -- oh, don't upset yourself so.
Harold: I love you. I love you!
Maude: Oh, Harold... That's wonderful. Go and love some more.

Just one of the crowd??


This is a picture of a very unique picture of a very unique daisy taken by a very unique Macy.




You gotta love fellow Deadheads!!!
I made a post on here about the Grateful Dead reunion last week, and a fellow deadhead, David McQuaid contacted me and said he had the concert on CD and asked if I would like him to mail me a copy.
What a nice guy!!! He mailed me a copy of the concert we just saw at Penn State and a copy of his Burning Man dvd from the Burning Man festival that I have always wanted to go to.
That is what I like about the Deadheads.....realizing the unity of us all.
THANK YOU DAVID MCQUAID....YOU MADE MY DAY!!
David also sent me a quote from one of my favorite movies, Harold and Maude:

Maude: I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They're so tall and simple. What flower would you like to be?

Harold: I don't know. One of these, maybe. (He points to a field of daisies.)

Maude: Why do you say that?

Harold: Because they're all alike.

Maude: Ooooh, but they're NOT. Look. See, some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, some to the right, some even have lost some petals. All KINDS of observable differences. You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are THIS. (She points to a daisy.)

Maude: Yet allow themselves to be treated as THAT (She gestures to a field of daisies.)

Harold and Maude


This is one of the best movies in the world ( in my opinion). Harold and Maude is a favorite of mine!! Although, the first time I watched it in college, I didn't really get Maude. I get her now and I love her.
Below is a link to the trailer....it is worth the watch...and the song "if you want to sing out" is one of my favorites and Marko's too.
Peace and love,
Michele

Maude Quote:

"A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they're not dead, really.
They're just... backing away from life. Reach out. Take a chance. Get hurt, even!
Play as well as you can. Go team! GO!
Give me an L! Give me an I! Give me a V! Give me an E! L. I. V. E. LIVE! ...
Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room."

- Maude (Ruth Gordon), Harold and Maude

Here is a short summary of the movie:

Bud Cort plays Harold, a lonely death obsessed young man who spends his free time attending the funerals of people he's never met and staging his own elaborate suicides. Ruth Gordon is Maude, an woman 79 years young obsessed with living life to its absolute fullest, who spends her free time visiting funerals of people she's never met and driving stolen cars to get herself around town. It's really only a matter of time before the amazing Cat Stevens' soundtrack works its magic, they meet and slowly, sincerely fall in love. The acting in this movie is really what makes it move from simply impressive to absolutely absorbing.
