Last night we saw our first play in Philadelphia.  It was The Life of Galileo by Bertolt Brecht at the Wilma.  The play was first published in 1940.

The play was good.  I think my favorite part of going to the theater is watching people perform.  It's what I like about seeing bands, too.  I like seeing people *do* things.

That reminds me of a quote from Wayne Coyne's commencement address, "We are not what we dream, we are what we do."

Which reminds me of this quote attributed to Buddha, "However many words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do if you do not act upon them?"

Performances.  Actions.  Concrete acts are what touch me, what seem real to me.  Thoughts, intentions, and words don't do much for me.  They are too ethereal, too easy, and too easily feigned.

Here's another quote, "Don't let your mouth write checks your ass can't cash."  In my world, actions speak louder than words.
