"Look, in particular, at the people who, like you, are making average
incomes for doing average jobs--bank vice presidents, insurance salesman,
auditors, secretaries of defense--and you'll realize they all dress the
same way, essentially the way the mannequins in the Sears mens wear department
dress. Now look at the real successes, the people who make a lot more money
than you--Elton John, Captain Kangaroo, anybody from Saudi Arabia, Big
Bird, and so on. They all dress funny--and they all succeed. Are you catching
on?"
-Dave Barry, "How to Dress for Real Success"
"Everyone remember, we are parked under the Sun Sphere"- Bart
Simpson

Madonna: "You can't choose what excites you, you can only react."
"Being "average" is to take up space for purpose, to take the trip through life, but to never pay the fare, to return no interest for God's investment in you. Being "average" is to pass one' s life away with time, rather than to pass one's time away with life. It's to kill time, rather than work it to death."

Poetry I like:
"penetrate your vision
beneath the surface
look beneath the coverings
take a closer look
look for what lies beneath
the covers we add to our beauty"
another poem:
"When I first saw you your eyes sparkled, I knew we had started an intafuation that neither one of us could resist. You were so warm and gentle as we danced alone by the glow of the firelight. It was wonderful, the way you told me your dreams, fears and hopes. To show you how much you mean to me, I gave you a kiss. That's when we knew had something that would last." -anonymous.
another poem:
"I stand here on the shore
before an ocean of dreams;
Feeling the cool refreshing winds of hope
and all I can wish for from my heart;
Is someone to stand beside me and share."
-Daryl
