“I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.”
― Flannery O’Connor
Quote a Week Tuesday (2016-05-24)
For this week’s quote, I have chosen two thoughts for those moments, when you hit that phase, where you are staring at the blank screen, ready to start pulling your hair and pondering on; WHY? WHY? WHY?
“I write only because
There is a voice within me
That will not be still”
― Sylvia Plath, Letters Home

“The imagination is a wonderful thing; it allows for all manner of undiscoverable sins.”
― Sarah Strohmeyer, Sweet Love
Quote a Week Tuesday (2016-05-17)
For this week’s quote, I have chosen something a little more humorous than usual.
By the way, have you ever noticed, how easily you can actually fool yourself, when spending a little bit too much time in your own mind?
So, be careful out there and mind what you think, it may not always be true 😉
“Don’t believe everything you think” ― Thomas E. Kida

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning” Albert Einstein
Quote a Week Tuesday: Thoughts by Albert Einstein
For this week, I have chosen a few thoughts from one of my favourite brainiacs: Albert Einstein.
Valuable lessons we can surely all apply to our daily lives:
1. Follow Your Curiosity: “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
2: Perseverance is Priceless: “It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
3: Focus on the Present: “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
4: Imagination is Powerful: “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
5: Make Mistakes: “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
6: Live in the Moment: “I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.”
7: Create Value: “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
8: Don’t Be Repetitive: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
9: Knowledge Comes From Experience: “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”
10: Learn the Rules and Then Play Better: “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”

“If you take shortcuts, you get cut short” Gary Busey
Taking Shortcuts is Easy?
Easy and always simple
Leaving no dimples
The quickest way to take
Is to just faking it
Because wanting your cake
As much as eating it
Taking the shortcuts
Without any buts
All through life
Without any strife
The quickest way
May be the easiest
Even the cheapest
But soon one day
You may end up with
A basket full of shit

& In honour of the month of December
If it’s December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?” Howard E. Koch
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-12-01
This week’s Tuesday quote seemed appropriate for the occasion. After all, today is December first, and just yesterday, it was summer, oh what a bummer?
Time flies when you are having fun?
Or is it just another pun?
Hoping to see the sun
Even though it’s December one
“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before its afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss
“Screw you guys, I’m going home!” Eric Cartman
What Ever!
You were smiling
Feeling charming
And quite beguiling
The sun was shining
This was supposed to be
A great day
For a song or a play
But then it turned out to be
Something else completely
It turned out to be
One of *those days*
Struck you in the face
Run over like a ten ton truck
And disappear without a trace
What the fuck?
Feeling like a schmuck
Completely out of luck
Standing in the rain
Without an umbrella
Almost going insane
And not from singing a cappella
So I say “What ever!”
And take my leave

“There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship” Thomas Aquinas
Quote A Week Tuesday #3, Part One and Two
Today is time for two of my favourite quotes, and as usual, quite something to relate to:
The old adage “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer” (Sun Tzu) can easily be translated into “With friends like that, who needs enemas” (The Adventures of Ford Fairlane).
In my youth, yes, believe it, I did have one, it was often hard to know whom to trust and I grew a shell around my person, trying to keep disappointments outside. As I have aged, no not grown old, rather wiser (if even possible :P) the protective exterior has somewhat cracked and trusting people a little more has become easier. Not too much mind you, but just enough! That being said, a little mistrust never hurt anyone?
Meanwhile, enjoy my “little lesson in life” in part two:
“Trust dies but mistrust blossoms” Sophocles
Mistrust is such an Ugly Word
My poor little mistrusting thing
Think ,what joy a friend may bring
Together sharing your precious blings
Laughing when playing in the swing
Trust is a difficult thing
You say quicker than the clock could ding
I am afraid of the sting
Even if it means alone I would sing
Your world may not always be on a string
And you may not always be the king
But if you want that bell to ring
Spread out far your wings
And in the chorus you may sing
“I wish you a tolerable Thursday. That’s all any of us can hope for” April Winchell
