Quotes
I love quotes, of all sorts. I figured it might be an idea to put some of my favourites on here. Starting with the longest quote I can remember, ad verbatim.
The Road Dogg Jesse James, with Billy Gunn. (1997-2000)
(Road Dogg theme music starts. Dogg and Gunn walk down the aisle.)
RD: 'Oh You didn't know?!? Well your ass better calllll somebody....'
RD: 'Oh Hell yeah!'
(Dogg and Gunn enter ring)
RD: 'Welcome to the Dogg house!'
(Crowd barks)
RD: 'It's me, the DO-Double G, with the Bad Ass Billy G....'
RD: 'Let's make a little noise in this dog house!'
RD: 'Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages... D-Generation X proudly brings to you it's tag team champions of the worllllld.... The Road Dogg Jesse James, the Bad Ass Billy Gunn, The New Age Outlaws....'
BG: 'And if you ain't down with that, we got two words for ya!'
RD, BG, & crowd: 'SUCK IT!!!'
(Note: OK, so it's wrestling, which a lot of you don't like, but it's amazing to hear 30,000 people all chanting along, absolutely word perfect)

Poetry
Not mine, so don't worry. Instead a poem I found in a novel by Tom Clancy, somewat incongruously, given the book is about biological warfare. I've learned to take my pleasures where I find them.
Ascension by Colleen Corah Hitchcock
And if I go,
while you're still here...
Know that I live on,
vibrating to a different measure
- behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar togeter again,
- both aware of each other.
Until then, live life to its fullest.
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart,
... I will be there.
Tomorrow -Author unknown
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see, if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand.
She said my place was ready, in Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you. Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same way there's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true, though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand and share my life with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
