Hehe, love that one Kali!
Here's a few more:
I used to have a handle on life, then it broke.
***
Dead owls don't give a hoot. (I don't know why I find that funny...I just do.)
***
Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
***
When life hands you lemons...squeeze the juice in life's eyes, and run like hell!
***
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me the hell alone.
***
No one is listening until you fart.
***
Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side & a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
***
And finally, one for the Sunshiners:
Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun. (Especially if you're on the Icarus II)!

"Did you ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many people have pictures of you, how many moments of other people's lives we've been in. Were we part of someone's life when their dream came true, or were we there when their dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in, as if we were somehow destined to be there? Or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think, you could be a big part of someone else's life, and not even know it."

“Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, or unsatisfied or barely getting by... But that feeling's a lie, and if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay, cause we all need a little help sometimes... someone to help us hear the music in the world, to remind us it won't always be this way, that someone is out there, and that someone will find you...”

Here are some "last words" that are an interesting read: Pardonnez-moi, monsieur. Je ne l'ai pas fait exprès.[/i] Translation: Pardon me, sir. I did not do it on purpose. Who: Marie Antoinette Note: As she approached the guillotine, convicted of treason and about to be beheaded, she accidentally stepped on the foot of her executioner. *** You be good. See you tomorrow. I love you.[/i] Who: Alex, African Grey Parrot used in comparative psychology research at Brandeis University Spoken to his handler, Dr. Irene Pepperberg, when she put him in his cage for the night; he was found dead the next morning *** Wait a minute… [/i] Who: Pope Alexander VI *** Let's roll. [/i] Who: Todd Beamer, passenger on United Flight 93, September 11, 2001. Note: These are his last recorded words, coming at the end of a cell phone call before Beamer and others attempted to storm the airliner's thingypit to retake it from hijackers who were part of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The plane crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. *** A dying man can do nothing easily. [/i] Who: Benjamin Franklin Note: As he lay dying, his daughter suggested that if he lay on his side, he could breathe easier. *** No, you certainly can't. [/i] Who: John F.

Fifty years from now, when you're looking back at your life, don't you want to be able to say you had the guts to get in the car? - Sam Witwicky, Transformers
With the All Spark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. And fate has yielded its reward: a new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: we are here, we are waiting. - Optimus Prime, Transformers
I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me, I'm just the way that the doctor made me! - Thank You For The Venom, My Chemical Romance
more coming...getting kicked off the computer now!
