What is good can resist defeat; what is bad cannot.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you
as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. John Homer Miller |
Day 29, Where The Self Divides...Jeffrey McDaniel
Loneliness is a privilege, and I'm grateful for the afternoons I had as a child to feed the crocodile I invented in my closet. How the knob's wood expanded in my hand when I threatened my friend with death. Twenty years later he still has nightmares where I get mad and fling open the door. Upstairs our mothers were one mother measuring emptiness by the milligram. Their laughter clung to the ceiling like helium balloons after a party. Only they never came down, stayed there without color or reason. Bruises are genetic. By age ten we opened a window and snapped our jaws at the world. A flashlight's subtle patch on pavement rendered bewilderment in nearly all who passed. A bucket of water dumped from three stories up onto the reliable shock of a stranger made out hair electric, teeth sharp: milk bottles, barbells came next. By twelve we slithered from the house's skin, graffitied crack room, rascal in the narrow throats of Philadelphia and knocked over trashcans with our tails. Under the dank wings of older kids on corners we learned how to steal a chump's heart without saying a word. By sixteen the boomerang of anger curved back at us. My fingers trace the hemline of a frenzy, passed down through the family like an heirloom we can all squeeze into. Each day I carry a colorless balloon and walk my crocodile through the same streets. Kids look at me funny, but I've got thick skin and a firm belief in multiplication |

~ Meet Joe Black ~
Joe Black: I don't care Bill. I love her.
William Parrish: How perfect for you - to take whatever you want because it pleases you. That's not love. Joe Black: Then what is it? William Parrish: Some aimless infatuation which, for the moment, you feel like indulging - it's missing everything that matters. Joe Black: Which is what? William Parrish: Trust, responsibility, taking the weight for your choices and feelings, and spending the rest of your life living up to them. And above all, not hurting the object of your love. Joe Black: So that's what love is according to William Parrish? William Parrish: Multiply it by infinity, and take it to the depth of forever, and you will still have barely a glimpse of what I'm talking about. Joe Black: Hey, those were my words. William Parrish: They're mine now !! ========= Joe Black: Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors. |

Always forgive your enemies - Nothing annoys them so much.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out. I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder. For Sale: Parachute. Only used once, never opened, small stain. Do you have trouble making up your mind? Well, yes or no? If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. Many people quit looking for work when they find a job. When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded. Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film. You know the speed of light, so what's the speed of dark? Join The Army, Visit exotic places, meet strange people, then kill them. I poured Spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone. Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't. Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need more.(Friend or Money !) Death is hereditary. There are three sides to any argument: your side, my side and the right side. An consultant is someone who takes a subject you understand and makes it sound confusing. Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference. When you're right, no one remembers. When you're wrong, no one forgets. Cheer up, the worst is yet to come. Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to make mistakes when nobody is looking. They say hard work never hurts anybody, but why take the chance. Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back. I like work. It fascinates me. I sit and look at it for hours. If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side. Where there's a will, there are five hundred relatives. Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. |

"Nothing in this world can take the place
of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius 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 "Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragement, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak." - Thomas Carlyle |
“Quiet minds can’t be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.” Robert Louis Stevenson

"Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another." — Desmond Tutu |
Every path has it's puddle.
