I came across this saying the other day: Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards - Soren Keigegaad. No idea who this bloke is, but its a bloody good saying  . Have you ever come across a saying that was particularly appropriate to what was happening in your life at a point in time? Maybe you have a saying that has touched you as your signature? What are some of the sayings that have resonated with you? Is this a way for the cosmos to give us poor mere mortals some guidance? I have a bit of an idea as to who this "bloke" is, lol  . Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) is a world-famous Danish philosopher: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B8ren_KierkegaardThe saying in Danish is: "livet må leves forlæns, men forstås baglæns" and it is one of my favourite sayings of all times - I think we have all more or less been in situations, where we wish that we could turn back time, but still keep our knowledge from the "future" so to speak ... On a related and funny note, I have a printed drawing of Søren Kierkegaard and that exact saying on my credit card, as my bank offered the opportunity of specialised credit cards some years ago. Check it out here: www.jyskebank.dk/privat/privatkunde/dagligokonomi/kort/design/112453.aspPrincess Doe, you have a bit of homework to do before our next meeting in the catacombs of the Denralian Castle: please read Kierkegaard´s " Edifying Discourses in Diverse Spirits" and let´s have a good discussion about it  ;D. |

Thanks Sweet Princess DD - the oracle on all things Scandanavian... and for the homework as well. I'll now have to get those highlighter pens out . Actually I did try and Google Mr Kierkegaard before I posted, but came up empty. Like in all things in life where you place your rrrrrrr's is all important . I checked out your links and its funny that your bank offers its customers a credit card with the Sydney Opera House on it. I know Jorn Utzon, the architect who designed it was a Dane, but would the Danish actually choose a credit card with a Sydney land mark on it? A bit of Australia in your pocket . You'll have to let me know the English translation for Utzon's saying. BTW if I had a credit card with a saying on it... it would have to be "overworked and under paid" ;D. |

'she's so pretty, i would...'
ok, if you're squeamish, you might wanna just stop reading right here.
these quotes are words i actually heard with my own 2 ears when i was in college in central kentucky(that's right-jason's stomping, no, rolling ground); they were meant to indicate just how beauteous in face and form the speaker considered a given young belle to indeed be...
'she's so pretty i'd suck her DADDY'S dick!"
'she's so pretty i'd eat the peanuts outta her shit!'
and this last one, which i think i read somewhere;
'she's so pretty i'd crawl naked thru broken glass for a mile, in the burning sun, just to jerk off in her shadow.'

" You get in a fight u fight in a war, and you figure it will all be worth it for that one big moment- But that moment as good as it is, it's never good enough- But this... ...one last time I wonder why.. ...then she falls against me... ...dripping with that angel sweat of hers... ...the perfect woman. The goddess. Goldie. She says her name is Goldie."

"Heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says “Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.” Man bursts into tears. Says “But, doctor…I am Pagliacci.” Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains. Fade to black."

Doctor Manhattan: "You sound bitter. You're a strange man, Blake. You have strange attitudes to life and war".
The Comedian: Strange? "Listen... once you figure out what a joke everything is, being the Comedian's the only thing that makes sense".
Doctor Manhattan: "The charred villages, the boys with necklaces of human ears... these are part of the joke"?
The Comedian: "Hey... I never said it was a good joke! I'm just playing along with the gag"...

"You're giving me a hell of a workout, Hartigan, old man! You know those little muscles that run right down your spine to just above your butt? I think I just pulled one of those beauties. I'm gonna be sitting funny for a WEEK!
There's nothing worse then messing up your back...well okay there's worse things...like getting kicked in the nuts or taking a bullet in the gut or getting punched in the face till you're spitting teeth like you just been.
Still and all, messing up your back, that's way down there on anybody's list of how to have a good time. You can't lie on your back and watch tv or suck back a few brews, not without it nagging at you. You can't even screw without it stabbing at you like a bastard, so bad you can't even keep it up. It's a BITCH! It diminishes the quality of LIFE!
That's what your doing to me right now, Hartigan. You're diminishing the quality of my life. I'm not the kind of guy who takes things personal, but you're screwing with the quality of my LIFE"!
