Pandora didn't think outside the box...

English does not borrow from other languages...it follows them down dark alleys, beats the stuffing out of them, and searches their pockets for loose grammar. ~Unknown

Tonight the brightest moon in a hundred years, Floods the streets of Rome and I am standing here, Wondering where the ghosts of antiquity, Hide on nights like this once a century, Where do shadows fall when there's only light, Why'd you follow me halfway 'round the world tonight, What I'd give right now not to even care,
And then this could be someone else's prayer...

~"Someone Else's Prayer" by Mary Chapin Carpenter

I sometimes think that war is necessary, but every night I pray for peace on earth, and I hand out my dollars to the homeless, but believe that every able soul should work. My father gave me my shot gun, that I'll hand down, to my son, try to teach him everything it means. I'm a man of my convictions, call me wrong, call me right, but I bring my better angels to very fight. You may not like where I'm goin', but you sure know where I stand,

Hate me if you want to, Love me if you can...

~Toby Keith, "Love Me If You Can"

Random stuff:

I think that the Twilight series and the Inheritance Trilogy are some of THE WORST books ever written. You don't agree with me...too bad. No amount of persuasion will change my mind.

NOTE: For anybody who cares about my story "A 'Father's' Funeral"...I have the next three chapters written but I currently have no access to them. They are on the computer that I used, prior to owning my laptop. Sense then it has obtained a virus, and has yet to be fixed. Once the computer is fixed I will be updating it once again. When that will be...I do not know.

Be a rebel, wear a pocket protector.~Dr. Gregory House

Abstract Expressionism was invented by New York drunks. ~Joni Mitchell-singer,songwriter, artist (I am an artist and absolutly love this quote, I do not think that "abstract" and "modern" art should be considered art in any way, shape, or form. Plus, I love Joni Mitchell's music, look into her sometime.)

And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came,
and go round and round and round
In the circle game
~From "The Circle Game" by Joni Mitchell

A great writer creates a world of his own and his readers are proud to live in it. A lesser writer may entice them in for a moment, but soon he will watch them filing out. ~Cyril Connolly (1903 - 1974) British writer and journalist.

It's a mystery, the creative process, inspiration is a mystery, but I think that as long as you still have questions the muse has got to be there. You throw a question out to the muses and maybe they drop something back on you. ~Joni Mitchell-singer,songwriter, artist
