    There is nothing holier in this life of ours than the first consciousness of love, the first fluttering of its silken wings. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    She should have died hereafter;
    There would have been time for such a word.
    Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
    To the last syllable of recorded time;
    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
    Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
    And then is heard no more. It is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.


    MacBeth, Act V Scene V, MacBeth, William Shakespeare

    On the worst of worst days, remember the words spoken
    Trust no one, only yourself.
    With great power, comes great consequence.
    What is given can be taken away.
    Everyone Lies.
    Everyone Dies.

    So my wife said she read this article in a magazine and she said: "You know, maybe you're suffering from premature ejaculation.

    " Yeah, does it look like I'm suffering? Those aren't tears on your belly. ~ Robert Schimmel :D

    "Sh!t, my brother! That ol' girl is bat-draggin' ugly! But she do have a nice ass." - Garland

    "Man, I told that truckdriver to get out of his cab so I could dog-cuss 'em!" - Garland

    "Whatcha problem is, boy? Men work on these here docks." - Garland

    My good friend Garland passed away last Monday. He was one of the few people left in this world who knew the definition of the word, "friend" and "loyalty".

    Twelve years is too short of a time to know a man like Garland.

    Garland, to look at him, was grizzled and broken down. He had fire within him, though, and you could see it in his eyes. The fire was "life", he loved every minute of it. Took it easy, took it in strides, didn't sweat the petty sh!t, and gave a piece of his heart to everyone. To know him was to love him.

    He lived every minute of his life for the benefit of his family and friends.
