busy week

the beginning of a busy week, don't you just look forward to it? :D The first day wasn't as bad as I thought it be, but now I really do look forward to 3 games and 1 practice, and youth conference, my eagle board of review, and a dance. Sounds busy, but it's all fun. here are some quotes that are not from my packet. They are from Louis L'Amour's characters. You can find these and a whole lot more in his book "A Trail of Memories" sub title "The Quotations of Louis L'Amour". They are compiled by his daughter Angelique.

-To challenge the fates, that is living! To ride the storm, to live daringly, to live nobly, not wasting one's life in foolish, silly risks, or ruining the brain with too much wine, or with too much hashish [for me, no drugs or wine period! :)]!

-Living a life is much like climbing mountains - the summits are always further off than what you think, but when a man has a goal, he always feels he's working towards something.

-He put his hand upon my shoulder and told me that in the world there were two kinds of people, those who wish and those who will, and the world and its good will always belong to those who will.

-I found no luck and no opportunity except that I made [it].

-What a man wants to do he generally can do, if he wants to badly enough.

-Our struggle was for time. Our leisure was brought from hardship, and we needed leisure to think, to dream, to create.

-One chooses a name if one wills, perhaps one more suited to the personality. After all, only a few inherit great names. The rest must make them for ourselves....

-But I am somebody ... I am me.I like being me, and I need nobody to make me somebody. I need no setting. As for a home, I can build my own. As for position, each of us finds his own.

These are all from books he's written. There are a ton more, so I'll post them next time. As for Chico de Cali, punch out time is here!

hey! you should come up with couple memorable quotes yourself.

this one is not mine and i can't tell you where i heard it from, but it makes me smile :]

there are 2 reasons why people don't smile: 1) they don't know how or 2) they have no teeth

catch ya around!
