If you were a whale, I would kill you and eat you and sell the rest of you to Japan and retire. I would do the same if you were a very large tuna fish.

I love to be active. Why sit around when there is so much to do? If you have a gift you should use it. Never ever give up at anything you do or let ANYONE tell you can not do something. You will never succeed if you never try. Always keep your priorities straight. God, family, and friends always come first in that order. If you want something bad enough, you will get it. There are so many amazing people.

I find it very strange to go into the bathroom at work and find a cheese-flavored Bugle on the floor of the stall, only to see its discarded bag sticking out of the tampon receptacle. Favorite Library of Congress Subject Heading of the Day: Hugging -- Drama.

"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him.

I'd like to be able to speak all the languages in the world...but I'll settle for new-york mumbo jumbo. I have a tendancy to embelish on the truth, but I hardly lie (only when absolutley neccessary!!) Jack of all trades, but a King of none...and thats a pain in the ass! Specialy when I'm broke. I'm a native NY'er, but a mountain boy at heart. Have a tendancy, to get up and go at any given moment.
