About Me
- About Me: "It was a sad song, a heartbreaking song, wild and proud... about all the losses a human heart might hold dear and remember. We are alike, you and I, she thought, homeless wayfarers in a world that is not our own." ~Taliesin by Stephen R. Lawhead

- Favorite Quotes: These aren't from books... they're just quotes I like :-) "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." -Catherine Aird "If you can't beat them, join them, and if you can't join them, just annoy the heck out of them!" -John Murphey If you stop running, your troubles will stop chasing you and find someone else to hunt. They're like a pack of Tyrannosaurus Rexes. They only see movement. "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." --Mahatma Gandhi "The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains that I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time." --George Bernard Shaw "I guess Poker's just not your game. I know, let's have a spellin' contest." --Doc Holiday "What you do today will echo into eternity." --Gladiator "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." --Soren Aabye Kierkegaard "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." --John Stuart Mill
