Have you ever noticed that the worst way to miss someone is when they are right beside you and you can never have them? Its hard to pretend you love someone when you don't but its harder to pretend that you don't love someone when you really do. Of all the words of tongue or pen, the saddest are those... it might have been.
For it is a land of illusion, a place in the mind, a shimmering mirage of riches and mystery and death. These illusions have distorted its landscape and contorted its history ~ Richard E. Lingenfelter The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, the continents, and the oceans was not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge ~ Daniel J. Boorstin The first man to see an illusion by which men have flourished for centuries surely stands in a lonely place ~ Gary Zukav It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it ~ Patrick Henry It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched for they are full of the truthless ideal which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded ~ W Somerset Maugham The impression forces itself upon one that men measure by false standards, that everyone seeks power, success, riches for himself, and admires others who attain them, while undervaluing the truly precious thing in life. ~ Desiderius Erasmus We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality. ~ Iris Murdoch For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us. ~ Donald Williams
"I can't believe how much this crap costs! How do you sleep at night?" - RO buying a new cell phone this morning. "On a pile of money." - The AT&T She-merchant "I just want a phone that I can make and recieve calls on. Don't care about the bells and whistles --- texting, multimedia, internet, mobile email, watching TV, downloading music... I just want one that works. I can afford all of these phones and the corresponding plan, but I don't want to! I don't pay for a frivolous service that I don't intend to use. Give me a phone that works and I'll leave you alone." - RO pleading with the stupid b!tch at the AT&T store "This one is free with a two year contract." - The AT&T She-merchant "Got anything cheaper?" - RO the quintessential smart ass rubbing salt in the wound.
Wow grandpa, no texting even? Where's the fun in not being bombarded with poorly typed messages all day long? Maybe you should just get one of those Jitterbug phones designed for old people who don't like bells, whistles, cold weather or young people walking on their lawns.
I thought I needed all the bells and whistles this summer and got a htc palm pc with entirely too much crap that I don't need or ever use. It's bulky, hard to navigate and obnoxious but it does have internet which is nice when it's slow at work. I got that instead of the LG Shine. I should have went with the Shine. I bet you'll be happy with it.

I know. I went for a good stretch without one but then realized that as a business owner it's not a good idea to be without one. Then of course I went for the super-mega-deluxe-double-venti-maximus phone. I'm such a sell-out.
Dare to do things worthy of imprisonment if you mean to be of consequence. ~ Juvenal Laws control the lesser man. Right conduct controls the greater one. ~ Chinese Proverb Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it. ~ Albert Einstein No radical change on the plane of history is possible without crime. ~ Hermann Keyserling When leaders act contrary to conscience, we must act contrary to leaders. ~ Veterans Fast for Life Laws are only words written on paper, words that change on society's whim and are interpreted differently daily by politicians, lawyers, judges, and policemen. Anyone who believes that all laws should always be obeyed would have made a fine slave catcher. Anyone who believes that all laws are applied equally, despite race, religion, or economic status, is a fool. ~ John J. Miller, And Hope to Die We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr., "Letter from Birmingham Jail," Why We Can't Wait, 1963 If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. ~ Bishop Desmond Tutu If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable. ~ Louis D. Brandeis Integrity has no need of rules. ~ Albert Camus
When love is not madness, it is not love. ~ Pedro Calderon de la Barca Love is a sweet tyranny, because the lover endureth his torments willingly. ~ Proverb The art of love... is largely the art of persistence. ~ Albert Ellis Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law. ~ Boethius When a man is in love or in debt, someone else has the advantage. ~ Bill Balance Loving is never a waste of time. ~ Astrid Alauda Love is being stupid together. ~ Paul Valery I understand with love comes pain, but why did I have to love so much? ~ Unknown If I love you, what business is it of yours? ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. ~ Michelangelo 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. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. ~Theodore Geisel Nothing encourages creativity like the chance to fall flat on one's face. ~ James D. Finley The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, are of imagination all compact. ~ William Shakespeare Sometimes imagination pounces; mostly it sleeps soundly in the corner, purring. ~ Leslie Grimutter Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence. ~ Norman Podhoretz They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. ~Edgar Allan Poe Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. ~ Lewis Carroll
The only thing I'll ever ask of you .. You've got to promise not to stop when I say when ~ Foo Fighters
We need to diaper his head ~ Emkay Please do, I talk way to fukking much ~ wez Shutting up.... now! ~ wez
"My theory on women is, I can be an asshole, as long as I'm less of an asshole than the last guy they dated." ~ IWS . . .
