Hey Round Peg in a Square Hole,

Have you ever been called a dreamer? Or a fool? (In the cynics dictionary theyre synonyms.)
And are you often tagged as a misfit, a loner, a crazy-idea junkie, a weirdo, a misunderstood
fictional character, or, simply put, just nuts?
Welcome to Pale Earth then. Its your job to make it blush with imagination.
If you cant sleep at night because youre busy designing the day, and if you sacrifice
Normality on the altar of Creativity, read on. You might be nuts, but youre not alone.

know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there will ever
be to know and understand. ~Albert Einstein

Speaking of which, I have an idea. From now on, instead of saying hey to dreamers, greet
them with a bow and show them the Steve J obs kind of faith you also need. Theyll grow wings
and, who knows, maybe some day, they might just carry you home.
