1 . Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.

3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.

4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of cheques.

12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.

13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.

14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.

15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

16. A balanced diet is a beer in each hand.

17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.

18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.

19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy fridge.

34. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

35. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

36. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers and have a sense of humour

37. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.

38. Your friends love you anyway.

39. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic

Dear Alcohol,

First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours. As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around at the holidays, hidden inside chocolates, as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings. However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at
heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences:

1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those ex-boyfriends/girlfriends when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night?

2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that I eat a taco with fire sauce, along with a big Italian meatball and some stale bbq chips (washed down with WINE & topped off with a Kit Kat after a few cheese curls & chili cheese fries)? I'm an eclectic eater, but I think you went too far this time.

3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front
door key into the lock

4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread products, aspirin) prior to going to sleep/passing out face down on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal & in no way interfere with my daily activities.

Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now & would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets.

In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above & address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Thursday 3pm (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions & hopefully, we can continue this fruitful partnership.

Thank you,
Your biggest fan

6. Fight? No way. Let's sit down and talk this out
7. Text message? No I have sent enough for the night
8. Dance? No I should't I should just sit here in the barstool.

there're no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard, no songs that i could sing.

hell, there're no words, i do not know what to say to describe the freaking month of June, very far the best month of my whole life, i'd life those days forever. in 12 days i'll be back home, but everything what happen the past 30 days and the past 10 months will be with me forever, i just have to thank those whose were with me this year. you'll be in my heart for ever :D

"A year has past and now we stand on the brink of returning to a world where we are surrounded by the paradox of everything and yet nothing being the same. In one month we will reluctantly give our hugs and, fighting the tears, say goodbye to people who were once just names on a sheet of paper to return to people that we hugged and fought tears to say goodbye to before we ever left. We will leave our best friends to return to our best friends. We will go back to the places we came from and go back to the same things we did last summer and every summer before. We will come into town on that same familiar road, and even though it has been months, it will seem like only yesterday. As you walk into your old bedroom, every emotion will pass through you as you reflect on the way your life has changed and the person you have become. You suddenly realize that the things that were most important to you a year ago don't seem to matter so much anymore, and the things you hold highest now, no one at home will completely understand.
Who will you call first? What will you do your first weekend home with your friends? Where are you going to work? Who will be at the party Saturday night? What has everyone been up to in the past few months? Who from school will you keep in touch with? How long before you actually start missing people barging in without calling or knocking? Then you start to realize how much things have changed, and you realize the hardest part of being an exchange student is balancing the two completely different worlds you now live in, trying desperately to hold on to everything all the while trying to figure out what you have to leave behind. We now know the meaning of true friendship. We know who we have kept in touch with over the past year and who we hold dearest to our hearts.
We've left our worlds to deal with the real world. We've had our hearts broken, we've fell in love, we've helped our best friends overcome eating disorders, depression, stress, and death. We've lit candles at the grotto and we've stayed up all night on the phone just to talk to a friend in need. There have been times when we've felt so helpless being hours away from home when we know our families or friends needed us the most, and there are times when we know we have made a difference.
Two months from now we will leave. Two months from now we take down our pictures, and pack up our clothes. No more going next door to do nothing for hours on end. We will leave our friends whose random e-mails and phone calls will bring us to laughter and tears this summer, and hopefully years to come. We will take our memories and dreams and put them away for now, saving them for our return to this world. Two months from now we will arrive. Two months from now we will unpack our bags and have dinner with our families. We will drive over to our best friend's house and do nothing for hours on end. We will return to the same friends whose random emails and phone calls have brought us to laughter and tears over the year. We will unpack old dreams and memories that have been put away for the past year. In Two months we will dig deep inside to find the strength and conviction to adjust to change and still keep each other close. And somehow, in some way, we will find our place between these two worlds. In Two months. Are you ready?"

Quando vc é pequeno, tem em mente que o mundo foi feito pra vc, que tudo é uma dança...
ainda não sabe que tem que correr atrás de seus objetivos... não sabe que tem que cultivar amizades verdadeiras, aquelas que não importa em que situação vc esteja, sempre estão por perto pra te dizer uma palavra de conforto ou apenas uma piadinha, as vezes até sem graça, apenas com o intuito de te fazer sorrir... alguns laços de amizade já estão formados antes mesmo de vc nascer, esperando-te, são os laços mais amorosos e amigáveis, sangue do seu sangue, amor fielmente companheiro... outros se formam com a vida, talvez tudo seja conturbado no começo, mas depois tudo se torna claro e vc quase que não entende como existe uma pessoa que te compreende tão bem e está sempre por perto em todos os momentos, sempre ajudando, acalmando, sorrindo e chorando, quase que cuidando de vc, com um amor também tão leal que vc decide leva-la junto pra qualquer lugar que vc for... não importa quantos tombos a vida te dê...não importa se vc pensa que tudo dá errado e que o mundo tá de ponta cabeça... ou que vc foi tão longe nas suas atitudes que acabou se enfiando em um buraco pequeno demais pros teus ignorados sentimentos... pode ter certeza, que ELES estarão lá, te esperando com qualquer coisa, uma aventura, um sorriso extremamente sincero no rosto e uma alegria contagiante... só que infelizmente eles não podem ir com vc em todos os lugares que a vida te levar, por mais que vc queira enfiar todas as pessoas, momentos e recordaçõs em uma caixinha, vc não consegue... mas não me importo o quão longe desses rostos, dessas paisagens, dessas lembranças, a distancia me faça, sempre que eu sorrir, lembrarei das vezes que assim eles me fizeram, sorrindo. Lembrarei de todas as artes e aventuras tão bem planejadas, nem sempre as coisas deram certo, mas no fim, eu estava sempre... Sorrindo! Como uma eterna criança que sou, e quem sabe, tudo seja mesmo uma dança, embalada pela canção de quem não posso guardar em uma caixinha, mas que pra sempre vão estar muito bem guardados no meu CORAÇÃO!

Quantas pessoas não olham para tudo isso e não sonham. A gente passa pelos lugares e deixamos nossa marca. As pessoas nos notam, nos dão valor. Inspiramos pensamentos sobre coragem, sobre terras distantes, sobre povos... Alguns vão querer ter tido a mesma experiência, muitos vão ter medo... Mas isso não importa, o que importa é que o mundo vai sonhar na nossa presença. Vamos ser um símbolo de que “tudo é possível”.

Depois de um tempo, você aprende a diferença, a sutil diferença, entre dar a mão e acorrentar uma alma. Você aprende que amar não significa apoiar-se; que companhia nem sempre significa segurança. E começa aprender que beijos não são contratos; que presentes não são promessas. Começa a olhar as derrotas com cabeça erguida e os olhos adiante, com a graça de um adulto e não com a tristeza de uma criança. Aprende a construir todas as suas estradas no hoje, porque o terreno do amanhã é incerto demais para os planos e o futuro costuma desvanecer.
Depois de um tempo, você aprende que o sol queima se ficar exposto por muito tempo. Aprende que não importa o quanto você se preocupe, algumas pessoas simplesmente não se preocupam.. Aceita que não importa quão boa seja uma pessoa, ela o ferirá de vez em quando e você precisa perdoá-la. Aprende que pode aliviar dores emocionais. Descobre que leva anos para se construir confiança e apenas segundos para destruí-la; que você pode fazer coisas num instante das quais se arrependerá pelo resto da vida. Aprende que verdadeiras amizades continuam a crescer mesmo a longas distâncias; que o importante não é o que você tem na vida, mas quem você tem; e que bons amigos são uma família que pudemos escolher. Aprende que não temos que mudar os amigos se compreendemos que eles mudam; percebe que seu melhor amigo e você podem fazer qualquer coisa, ou nada, e terem bons momentos juntos. Descobre que as pessoas mais importantes na sua vida são tiradas de você muito depressa (por isso, devemos sempre dizer palavras doces às pessoas a quem amamos). Aprende que, apesar de as circunstâncias e as pessoas nos influenciarem, nós somos responsáveis por nós mesmos. Começa aprender que não deve comparar-se aos outros, mas ao melhor que pode ser. Descobre que leva muito tempo para se tornar a pessoa que quer, e que o tempo é curto. Aprende que não importa onde já chegou, e sim aonde está indo. Aprende que, ou você controla seus atos, ou eles o controlarão; que ser flexível não significa ser fraco ou não ter personalidade (pois não importa quão delicada e frágil seja a situação, sempre há dois lados). Aprende que heróis são pessoas que fizeram o que era necessário, enfrentando as conseqüências. Aprende que paciência requer muita prática. Vê que algumas vezes, a pessoa que você espera que o chute quando você cai é uma das poucas que o ajuda a levantar. Aprende que maturidade tem mais a ver com as experiências que teve e o que aprendeu delas do que com quantos anos você viveu. Aprende que há mais dos seus pais em você do que você supunha. Aprende que nunca se deve dizer a uma criança que sonhos são bobagens (poucas coisas são tão humilhantes, e seria uma tragédia se ela acreditasse). Aprende que quando está com raiva, tem-se o direito de estar com raiva, mas não o direito de ser cruel. Descobre que só porque alguém não o ama do jeito que você quer não significa que não o ame com tudo o que pode (pois existem pessoas que amam, mas simplesmente não sabem como demonstrar ou viver isso). Aprende que nem sempre é suficiente ser perdoado por alguém, às vezes tem de perdoar-se a si mesmo. Aprende que com a mesma severidade com que julga você será, em algum momento, condenado. Aprende que não importa em quantos pedaços seu coração foi partido, o mundo não pára a fim de que você o conserte. Aprende que o tempo não é algo que possa voltar atrás (portanto, plante seu jardim e decore sua alma, em vez de esperar que alguém lhe traga flores). E você aprende que realmente pode suportar, que realmente é forte e que pode ir muito mais além do que pensava poder. Descobre que realmente a vida tem valor e que você tem, valor diante da vida. (Nossas dúvidas são traidoras e nos fazem perder o bem que conquistaríamos não fosse o medo de tentar).
-William Shakespeare
(versão em portugues por anonimo)

e já dizia o poeta:
"Quem já passou por essa vida e não viveu
Pode ser mais, mas sabe menos do que eu
Porque a vida só se dá pra quem se deu
Pra quem amou, pra quem chorou, pra quem sofreu
Ah, quem nunca curtiu uma paixão nunca vai ter nada, não
Não há mal pior do que a descrença
Mesmo o amor que não compensa é melhor que a solidão
Abre os teus braços, meu irmão, deixa cair
Pra que somar se a gente pode dividir
Eu francamente já não quero nem saber
De quem não vai porque tem medo de sofrer
Ai de quem não rasga o coração, esse não vai ter perdão"

Vinicius de Moraes
