Woops...

So...I'm a little slower than i thought =P. Well I'm here now and hat's what really counts, yes? Nothin much new here except some crazy weather, I went to a 16th birthday party, our kitty Mimi destroyed a few plants and ripped open a wall, the family attended a soup and chili night at church, and I managed to scrounge together a few barely-pass-worthy essys. Besides that, all's the same. But here's a few quotes to live and breath by =D.

• I phoned my dad to tell him I had stopped smoking. He called me a quitter.

-Steven Pearl

• Be a fountain, not a drain.

-Rex Hudler

• The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you're not in shape for it, it's too far to walk back.

-Franklin P. Jones

• What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.

-Albert Pine

• I'm very pleased with each advancing year. It stems back to when I was forty. I was a bit upset about reaching that milestone, but an older friend consoled me. 'Don't complain about growing old - many, many people do not have that privilege.'

-Earl Warren

• The only reason I made a commercial for American Express was to pay for my American Express bill.

-Peter Ustinov

• Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure that is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel.

-T. S. Eliot

• It is very difficult to know people and I don't think one can ever really know any but one's own countrymen. For men and women are not only themselves; they are also the region in which they are born, the city apartment or the farm in which they learnt to walk, the games they played as children, the old wives' tales they overheard, the food they ate, the schools they attended, the sports they followed, the poets they read, and the God they believed in. It is all these things that have made them what they are, and these are the things that you can't come to know by hearsay, you can only know them if you have lived them.

-W. Somerset Maugham

• Letting your customers set your standards is a dangerous game, because the race to the bottom is pretty easy to win. Setting your own standards--and living up to them--is a better way to profit. Not to mention a better way to make your day worth all the effort you put into it.

-Seth Godin

• When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: admit it, learn from it, and don't repeat it.

-Paul "Bear" Bryant

• If it is to be, it is up to me

-Unknown

• It is better to be unfaithful than to be faithful without wanting to be.

-Brigitte Bardot

• This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.

-Dorothy Parker, book review

• I love my kids, but I wouldn't want them for friends.

-Janet Sorensen

• For most folks, no news is good news; for the press, good news is not news.

-Gloria Borger

• I stopped believing in Santa Claus at age six when my mother took me to see him in a store and he asked for my autograph.

-Shirley Temple Black

• Behind almost every woman you ever heard of stands a man who let her down.

-Naomi Bliven

• If it weren't for baseball, many kids wouldn't know what a millionaire looked like.

-Phyllis Diller

• It is really asking too much of a woman to expect her to bring up her husband and her children too.

-Lillian Bell

Forever times Two

Welcome to my Blog and to December! Hope you all have an amazing Christmas. And if Christmas isn't your thing, then enjoy your vacation off of work/school! Yes, yes...it has been FOREVER but life is hectic and I haven't found the time to log on. That's how it is I'm afraid =P. I don't have tons of time so i though...hey! quotes. and who doesn't love quotes? Maybe not you, but I absolutely ADORE quotes! so here's a few for the records:

• You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.
• God made woman beautiful and foolish; beautiful, that man might love her; and foolish, that she might love him
• Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
• Infatuation is when you think he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Conners. Love is when you realize that he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Connors, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger and nothing like Robert Redford - but you'll take him anyway.
• Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species. ~W. Somerset Maugham
• Do I love you because you're beautiful,Or are you beautiful because I love you?
• Forget love - I'd rather fall in chocolate!
• God made man stronger but not necessarily more intelligent. He gave women intuition and femininity. And, used properly, that combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met.
• Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.
• Virtue and taste are nearly the same, for virtue is little more than active taste, and the most delicate affections of each combine in real love.
  -Ann Radcliffe

Jane Austen

• Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.

Summer's Finally Here!!

So I haven't talked in forever but I thought about it a few weeks ago and decided that I neeeded to get an entry in eventually! So today's the day! My last few weeks have been absolutely horrible. I signed up for a girls P.E. class to get a few credits in, and I thought it would be fine, you know? I thought wrong. We walk 6 miles a day, then when we get back we do an activity. This last Friday it rained so we stayed inside and walked up one side of the gym stairs, across the top, down that side, then we crossed the court and walked up those stairs, around, and down on the other side. It doesn't sound bad, I know, but it is. Especially the next day =/. So we did that for 50 minutes or so then we did circuits. If you don't know what circuits are, you honestly don't WANT to know but for the story's sake I'll tell you. What you do is you have different stages. We had 15 stages in all =/. You have so many minutes/seconds that you have to do that certain exercise before you move on to the next stage. Some stages: Bicep curls, some step thing where you have to step up, then down, then up, then down...etc., ab curls, some dog leg thing where you are on your hands and knees and you lift one side of your leg up like a dog would, then halfway through your time, you lift the other leg for the rest, the bicycle thing where you lay on your back and move your legs like your on a bicycle(pretty self explanatory), and tons more I don't care to mention because it pains me so. After that we played a new basketball game where you have two teams. Your whole team sits when its not there turn. There are 4 cones around the gym, corner to corner. When you shoot for a basket, whether you make it or not, you have to run as fast as you can around the gym back to the cone you started at and pass the ball off to your teammate. You COULD shoot again before you run, but the person on the other side of the court, on the opposite team, is trying to catch you. If they catch you, they get your point and you lose one (you can go into major negatives). The couch made us play that for a good 30/40 minutes, which meant I had to go at least 3 times =P. Then after that we had to play another basketball game. I guess you could say by the end of the class, I was dead but the next class i had, zoology, we walked a good 1 to 1 1/2 miles! Not jut "walked" we hiked! Sheesh...I was beat. Luckily on Wednesdays in P.E. we get to watch a movie, and on Thursdays we go bowling (after the 6 miles). But hey, this next Monday and Tuesday are the last days! And on Tuesday, the class is only an hour long =D. It started on the 3rd of this month, so I cant wait till Tuesday. But enough about me, here are some good 'Ol' quotes for you to read and ponder:

• It is bad luck to be superstitious.

-Andrew W. Mathis

• I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.

-John Cleese

• I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

-Umberto Eco

• Is life worth living?Aye, with the best of us,Heights of us, depths of us - Life is the test of us!

-Corinne Roosevelt Robinson

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

oh heres a little bit of an example i made in paint of the game we played if you were confused any by what i said before.

I know it's been a while...but with all the school that we've had out, it's hard to catch up on homework and get on here, too! =D so here's some quick ones!

• The greatest faults, I should say, is to conscious of none
  

-Thomas Carlyle

• Now and then an innocent man is sent to the legislature.
  

-Kin Hubbard
