It is through art, and through art only, that we can realize our perfection; through art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence."
-Oscar Wilde

"Words are things; and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes
thousands, perhaps millions, think."
-Byron
Guys are so much better in books.
Nothing of me is original, I am the combined effort of everybody I ve ever known.

they are the ones who give me strength to give it

I'm not too picky about my movies. I don't like anything that's toogruesome but I'm up for anything thats scary or suspenseful. And yes,being that I am a girl I like my romatic/romatic-comedey moviestoo!
As far as TV goes I like Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill, Medium, Grey's Anatomy, Heros,House,Ungly Betty, Desperate Housewives, Brother's and Sisters. The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, Glenn Beck Headline News.
I love to find really good old black and white movies on TCM and AMC late at night.
I Love the classic cartoons like Tom and Jerry, The Looney Toons ect.
I do really really like to read, I'm trying to read more classics but I find some hard to get into. We'll see how it goes. I love word orgins, I find them interesting and neat. Thats all I can think to write here so yea.

Please Take A Moment to Read This.
The average age of the U.S. soldier is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's; but he has never collected unemployment either.He's a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and 155mm howizzitor. He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk.He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must. He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional. He can march until he is told to stop or stop until he is told to march.He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job. He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay and still find ironic humor in it all. He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime.He has stood atop mountains of dead bodies, and helped to create them. He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed. He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful. Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years.He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding. Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood.And now we have women over there in danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so. Daddy may still consider her his little girl, but for her country, she is an unyeilding warrior, willing to pay the ultimate price to protect people she will never meet.As you go to bed tonight, remember this shot.. A short lull, a little shade, and a picture of loved ones in their helmets.
When you read this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and every other hostile region of the world.
"If your not gonna stand behind our troops,
feel free to stand in front of them."
We'll Miss You,'Crocs Rule!'
