“I am thankful for all those difficult people in my life, they have shown me exactly who I do not want to be.”
Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-09-06
For this week’s quote, I have chosen a little something to tickle the funny bone 😉
I picked this one up from Bill Murray, but I assume this quote has been around for a little while longer!
“As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is impossible,
but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake. Much more fun too!”

“Life is but a dream”
Row row row your boat -song
Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-08-30
For this week’s quote, something dreamy. Is it real or fantasy?
Or as the famous eightees comercial taught us: “Is it live or is it memorex?”
You decide:
“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream”
Edgar Allan Poe

Quote a Week Tuesday (2016-07-26)
For this week’s quote of the week, I have chosen a reminder for us all: Enjoy!
“Practice like you’ve never won, perform like you’ve never lost”
Bernard F. Asuncion
Practice like you’ve never won,
In everything you do;
Success isn’t made overnight,
Let it be well done by you.
Perform like you’ve never lost,
Do all the best that you can;
No need for wasting time,
Show that you are the man.
Practice like you’ve never won,
Losing shall pull you down;
Exert extra effort to prevail,
Becoming talk of the town.
Perform like you’ve never lost,
Don’t be scared to make a mistake;
Learn lessons from failures
To taste the icing of the cake.
Discipline is all you need,
Days of negligence are gone;
Triumph tomorrow shall shine,
Practice like you’ve never won.
Bernard F. Asuncion

“A short story is something that you can hold in your mind. You can really analyze how the entire thing works, like a machine” Chuck Palahniuk
Could it be?
Could it be?
Can you see?
Is it true?
Who knew!
So what if it is
This wasn’t a quiz
It’s no one’s biz
If we go to the Ritz
Never mind
I’ll be fine
I got a dime
Let it chime
Out on the street
Dancing to the beat
Life oh so sweet
Oh what a treat
The lesson learnt
Don’t get burnt
Even if you weren’t
Dance ’till you aren’t
