“Meow” means “woof” in cat.”—George Carlin (comedian)
An homage to the Lasagne Loving Cartoon Cat: Garfield (Caturday)
Everyday, eat lasagne
That can be most fun ‘ya
The cutest fat cat
Who really likes to chat
The orange tabby
With words of stabby
A fun loving creature
In a cartoon feature
Love ‘im, hate ‘im
You still can’t help to grin
“Never trust a smiling cat” Garfield

“This is my favourite kind of art” Gun Roswell
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-01-26
For this week’s quote, I have chosen one from the late and great Andy Warhol. This is something all of us, trying to “create art”, can easily relate to:
“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it is good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” Andy Warhol

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-01-19
For this week’s quote, I chose a little something to encourage all us writers; two simple guidelines to follow. Well, basically it is one and the same but for your reading pleasure, please find both the original and updated version.

& In honour of the month of December
“Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower” Hans Christian Andersen
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-12-08
Today’s quote seems quite apt for the time of the year, especially for us living way up North, in the land also known as Finland.
During this period, we usually spend our days in total darkness, starting from October and ending only in early spring months. But, for what ever reason, today, we had a beautiful sunny day and clear blue skies as far as the eyes could see.
Odd indeed, but also an excellent photo opportunity for us pic-snappers and a good chance to soak in a few rays while hanging outside (naturally, in the freezing weather 😉 ):

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?”

“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

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-11-17
For today’s quote, I actually have two for the price of one. And with my personal twist of course 😛
Usually it is nice to get feedback, especially the positive kind. Unfortunately sometimes (read more often than usual) you get feedback or opinions from people, who need to voice their own point of view for anything and everything.
For myself, a “like” is sufficient and indicates someone enjoyed your offering. If you have something valuable to add, then make a comment, hopefully the positive kind. But in this writer’s opinion, if you don’t like what you hear, read or see, just move along 😉
“If you don’t have anything nice to say, move along”
“Opinions are like voids in the derrière; everyone has one”
Keep calm and keep on quoting!
