About Me

"You don't know a damn thing about a man until you've gotten stinking drunk with him." - Charles Russell
"When you die, and it really could be this afternoon ... you will not be happy about having said no. You will be kicking your ass about all the no's you've said. No to that opportunity, or no to that trip to Nova Scotia or no to that night out, or no to that project or no to that person who wants to be naked with you but you worry about what your friends will say. No is for wimps. No is for pussies. No is to live small and embittered, cherishing the opportunities you missed because they might have sent the wrong message." - Dave Eggers
"The pool of life is far to big to stay wading in the shallow end" - Dennis Whitecat Loughnane
