“There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain.

My daughter is moving home to live with me tomorrow...she's been in Michigan. I'm beside myself with joy! So....of COURSE the Austin crew is meeting up at a local Hamburgery to welcome her here Tuesday night, and for the festivities, I have written her a poem (of sorts).....
Took You long enough to get here, precious baby girl of mine! Consider Yourself lucky that there's not a hefty fine! I always say that patience is a virtue ('k, maybe not) I'm just glad You're home with me in Austin, where it's hot. Some say we've come full circle, It's the way it's meant to be; I'm just happy now that You can do all my chores for me! Cheap labor never looked so good ~ Wouldn't You agree? She has enough of Mommy's genes, And yes! She even sings! So welcome, Erin Parker Hall, I'm glad You're finally here!!! I've missed You, oh, so much, You know, And these are happy tears! ~Mom |

You know you've found love when you look in their eyes and find yourself. - Monique Patton - Her Presence To gaze upon my love, Is to feel completely at ease. I run my fingers through her hair, And it smells of a warm breeze. We stand in a timeless moment, Together in a tight embrace. Motionless in the night's air, Observing every detail of her face. The strength of her beauty, Has command over my will We spend every moment we can, And yet, can never get our fill. Her personality seals the deal. I shall remain with her forever. I make a pact with my self this night, To never lose this treasure. - Joshua Stone - The best things in life can never be kept; They must be given away. A Smile, a Kiss, and Love - Tony Farrar - :stillheart: :bunchflowers: :love1: |

you sit in the barbershop long enough--you're gonna get your haircut. --sam's dad to sam when sam was 17 and already having a hard time staying away from the booze, women and the law. i believe he's mostly straightened out since HS, he's got a wife now and 3 kids. sam's mom, on the other hand, was less direct--when the cops came to the door one morning at 3 am to report that they'd found the remains of sam's truck that he'd set fire to (intentionally) earlier that evening, she was said to have explain to the the policemen, 'it's not sam, it's the alcohol!' |
George from "Dead Like Me"
I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law. So you see my dilemma.
This is where I felt it the first time. The universe was cocking the fuck-with-me gun. |

All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother. -Abraham Lincoln . |
Desiderata -- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s -- Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. |
"Uninvite the devil's advocate, since the devil doesn't need one, he's doing fine. Have fun. Why not? It works." ~ Seth Godin

“Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.” - Author Unknown |
"You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.” - Author Unknown |
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” - Author Unknown |

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
- Marilyn Monroe |

It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.(f)

The jealous are possessed by a mad devil and a dull spirit at the same time.(f)
