Favorite Quotes: "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Chardonnay in one hand, Chocolate in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming -"WOO HOO!!!! What a Ride..." ~Anonymous~ "I asked him, "What the fuck is schism about?" and he said, "TETRIS, YOU DUMB FUCK! NOW LET ME DRINK MY SEXY WINE!!" conversation with a fan by ~JAMES MAYNARD KEENAN~ "I embrace my desire, to feel the rhythm, to feel connected, enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human" ~LATERALUS by TOOL~ "A groan of tedium escapes me, Startling the fearful. Is this a test? It has to be, Otherwise I can't go on." ~THE PATIENT by TOOL~ "Oh, what are they going to do, when the lights go down, Without you, to guide them all to Zion? What are they going to do, when the rivers overrun, Other than tremble incessantly?" ~WINGS 4 MARIE PT.2 by TOOL~ "And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose. He said, "You are the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not." Me. The Chosen One? They chose me!!! And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school!!" ~ROSETTA STONED by TOOL~ "Angels on the sideline, Puzzled and amused. Why did Father give these humans free will? Now they're all confused." ~RIGHT IN TWO by TOOL~ "What it Takes To Make It In This World is Ice on Your Head and Sugar On Your Tongue." ~Antonio Rodrigues~ "Life and death. Energy and peace. If I stopped today, it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I have made, and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul. It was worth it for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it and above..." ~Gia~ “I have the same goal I've had ever since I was a girl. I want to rule the world.” ~Madonna~ "I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in and stops my mind from wandering where it will go." ~The Beatles~ "I saw two geese fighting and i said to myself, that a pillow fight in the making!" ~Anonymous~ "People have to follow their hearts, and if their hearts lead them to Wal-Mart, so be it." ~JAMES MAYNARD KEENAN~
