Better to head off into the unknown than stay here, where death was most certain

[Life philosophy:] I don't really care what people think, ... I just do my own thing. ... I like being loud and letting people know I'm there.

It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death-- ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life. One is responsible to life: It is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return. One must negotiate this passage as nobly as possible, for the sake of those who are coming after us.

It's a good opportunity. I like the coach (Mike Thibault) and his philosophy. And the style of his players fits my style.

I've come up with another formulation about style: that it's essentially a manifestation of a certain habitual set of limitations. It's what a composer does NOT do that defines a style.

I like the way he thinks. (They) like to do it up big, like our style of marching.
