I'd like to meet:
Long Live the KingThe king is old, the castle cold. His subjects are all ghosts.
A teardrop falls, with trembling lips he remembers what he misses most.
The warmth of a woman in his arms - his bed to warm his back and rest his head.
He laughs and jokes to all the folks to cover all his emptiness.
He's only a shell and hides his hell with incisive wit's impertinence.
The smell of her hair still lingers there and cuddling is only a memory.
He longs for her warmth and loving arms to melt away the lonely.
They say life goes on but it's really gone. He's lonely but he's free.
We pay with our life for what it gives us and earn the wage with which we pay.
His life is gone but he lingers on because with himself he has to stay.

(My favourite reference book)
"Wise men have something to say. Fools have to say something."
Heroes:
You have heard the adage, “My heroes have always been cowboys?†There is a reason for that. My heroes are cowboys, teachers, comedians, wise men, construction workers, loggers, mechanics, farmers, and anyone else who does the actual labor of the land. People who know what you’re thinking and what you’re talking about sometimes before you even say it and often word it better than you could have, lovers, mothers, athletes, disabled persons, children, and anyone with someone else in charge of them. These are the workers and philosophers of the world. These are the people that have to struggle and work to make a life even with the handicap of having someone else tell them (often erroneously) what to do.
The ones I cannot stand are the authority figures, the politicians, supervisors, bosses, landlords, government workers, street cops, the warmongers, generals, and other great creators of chaos disguised as uniformity. and others that tell you what to do even if it’s wrong to screw you up and slow you down.
