I was fucked off with all the miserable people in cardiff.
so i collaborated all these quotes and put them in envelopes, wrote a diff quote on the front of each envelope and gave them out on queen street. one man wouldnt take it.
so i chased him... for a long long way. screaming why dont you want it? take it. take it. arent you tired yet? just take it!! so he took it.
and later on he came back and found me, still giving them out, and thanked me for making his day.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.
The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather what he does not say. My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way. The ability to speak eloquently is not to be confused with having something to say. Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for truth. For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, "It might have been". Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. Neither can the wave that has passed by be recalled, nor the hour which has passed return again.
I am not strange, I am just not normal. Our planet is the mental institution for the universe. We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it. I feel nothing, apart from a certain difficulty in continuing to exist.
The most important things are the hardest to say, because words diminish them. Decide carefully, exactly what you want in life, then work like mad to make sure you get it! Freedom is the right to live as we wish. You have to expect things of yourselves before you can do them. What people say, what people do, and what they say they do are entirely different things.
Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion. The way is not in the sky, the way is in the heart. Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Say what you want and be who you are because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Whatever you are, be a good one.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. A great many people will think they're thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. You don't know who is important to you until you actually lose them. Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them as much. In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out. He who sees a need and waits to be asked for help is as unkind as if he had refused it; Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can read.
People say that you're going the wrong way when it's simply a way of your own. We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. The best way to cheer your self up is to try to cheer somebody else up. If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning 'Good morning' at total strangers. When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion. If you can't make it good, at least make it look good. Friends are like the backbone. If you get rid of them, you cannot stand.
A real person has two reasons for doing anything... a good reason and the real reason. I have secrets so deep and dark, even I don't know what they are. Things are the way things are only to the people who see them that way. In the book of life, the answers aren't in the back. Failure to prepare is preparing to fail. Happiness is a path, not a destination. You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it. You can't take it with you when you go. People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Death is nothing at all; it does not count. You have only slipped away into the next room. If you love the life you live, you will live a life of love. Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine. My life has been filled with terrible misfortune; most of which never happened. You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good. Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love. Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page. You can have everything in life you want if you'll just help enough other people to get what they want! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions, forms our true honour. The difference between reality and fiction? Fiction has to make sense.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
