Good afternoon, all. I am going to try to get this done quickly today because I forgot I had training. :)

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying this beautiful Texas spring weather as much as I am.

Quotes
from www.thinkexist.com

**Henry Rollins is one of my favorite authors. I had to include him at some point in this section. And a tidbit of information for those of you who missed that scene, or those with an itch saying "why do I know that name?" - he is from Black Flag. He is also an actor now.**

The first quote is my favorite quote of all time by anyone. It's amazing.

"If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you."

"Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on."

"I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul."

"I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone."

My Life is Average
from www.mylifeisaverage.com

Today, the power went out at my house so I went out for lunch. I came home and found my mom using my hairdryer to heat leftovers for lunch. She told me that she was hungry and the power was still out. I still wonder how she got a job as a scientist. MLIA.

Last night, my roommate sat up in her sleep and screamed "Yes I AM a space pirate!" and then laid back down. To my dismay, she couldn't remember what she'd been dreaming about. MLIA.

Today, after I walked home from my friends place I texted him and told him I had forgotten my phone at his apartment. He sent me a message back asking where it was, and looked for it for half an hour before his roommate pointed out what he had done. MLIA

Today I saw two ladies, one in a power chair and the other in a wheel chair holding on to the power chair. MLIA

Today I realized that if FedEx and UPS merged, they would be called Fed Up MLIA

Personal

Nothing too terribly funny happened to me today unless you count the fact that I am sitting here laughing at my desk while other people are probably thinking I am slowly but surely losing my marbles.

Yeah. I am seriously thinking of deleting this section unless someone sends me a story to put here.
