***Quote that sums up who you are***

"Some people measure their lives in pulse rates and sit-ups. Far better to measure yours in licks of ice cream, well-told jokes, mad dashes to be first in the water, belly laughs. And, when you die, it won't be an erratic shift in your heart rate, it will be an overdose of mirth, fun poisoning, death by laughter."
-ad for Keds "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. " -Dr. Seuss "Always behave like a duck - keep calm and unruffled on the surface but paddle like the devil underneath." -Jacob Braude |
"All your life you are told the things you cannot do.. all your life they will say you're not good enough.. or strong enough.. or talented enough.. they'll say you're the wrong height.. or the wrong type.. to play this.. or be this.. or achieve this.. they will tell you no a thousand times.. no until every no just becomes meaningless.. all your life they will tell you no.. quite firmly and very quickly.. they will tell you no.. and you will tell them yes."

**With My Busy Life**
"You can't leave footprints in the sands of time if you're sitting on your *$$ and who wants to leave *$$ prints in the sands of time?" **With my relationships with others (i strive to make this happen) "Even if we never talk again after tonight, I want you to know that I am forever changed by who you are and what you meant to me" ::claps:: Great topic idea!!!!!!!!! |
"Persistence. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genuis will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
-Calvin Coolidge President of the United States 1924-29 Member of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta, Amherst College Class of 1894 Also, Rudyard Kipling's "IF" If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on"; If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son! |
I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.
-Martha Washington Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place. -Mark Twain Love the ones you can. Touch the ones you can reach. Let the others go. -Real Live Preacher |
No matter where you go.
There you are. |
Life's a bitch and so am I.

Ok, this was my fav poem as a senior in high school. I re-read it today and it made a lot of sense to me.
Comes the Dawn After a while you learn the subtle difference Between holding a hand and chaining a soul. ANd you learn that love doesn't mean security, And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts ANd presents aren' t promises. And you begin to accept your defeats With your head up and your eyes open. With the grace of maturity not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on Today Because tomorrow's ground Is too uncertain for plans, and futures have A way of falling, down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine Burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate Your own soul, instead of waiting For someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure... That you really are strong, And you really do have worth. And you learn and learn and learn.... With every goodbye you learn. ~author unknown~ Okay, but my big quote right is: "...after all this kind of fanfare, and even more, I came to a point where I needed solitude and just stop the machine of 'thinking' and 'enjoying' what they call 'living', I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds..." ~ Jack Kerouac |
"I haven't lost my mind... it's backed up on disk somewhere"

"f*** off"
-me haha just kidding:p "Sorry you cant define me. Sorry I break the mold. Sorry that I speak my mind. Sorry dont do what I'm told. Sorry if I dont fake it. Sorry I come too real. I will never hide what I really feel. Sorry I aint perfect. Sorry I dont give a f***. Sorry I aint no diva. Sorry I just know what I want. Sorry I am not a virgin. Sorry I am not a slut. I wont let you break me. Think what you want. " -Christina Aguilera |
