"G-words are nice: go-get·ter: An enterprising person; gus·to: vigorous and enthusiastic enjoyment [syn: relish, zest, zestfulness]; ga·la: A festive occasion, especially a lavish social entertainment; gal·lant: Nobly or selflessly resolute, stately, majestic, courteously attentive, chivalrous, flirtatious, amorous; gam·bit: A maneuver, stratagem, or ploy, especially one used at an initial stage." - I said that.

Contact me by email for current scientific evidence and accurate statistics. The following are MYTHS:
Pit Bulls have locking jaws - URBAN LEGEND! Pit Bulls have been bred to "not let go," but there is no such thing as "locking jaw" - ask any Veternarian about this Myth and they will set you straight.
Pit Bulls have a 1800 PSI Jaw Pressure - WRONG! Domestic dogs: 320 lbs. bite pressure, Lions: 600 lbs. bite pressure, Sharks: 600 lbs. bite pressure, Snapping Turtles: 1000 lbs. bite pressure, Crocodiles: 2500 lbs. bite pressure. The American Pit Bull Terrier actually had a lower bite pressure than a German Shepherd and Rottweiler when tested.
Pit Bulls are born to be mean - NOT TRUE! Pit Bulls like all other breeds, are not born inherently mean or bad! They can, like any other breed, become mean through lack of training, abuse, neglect and irresponsible ownership and breeding.
Pit Bulls attack more than any other breed - NO! The statistical data on dog bites and attacks are inaccurate. There are over 25 breeds that are commonly identified wrongly
as 'Pit Bull.' To claim one breed is more responsible for human fatalities is impossible.
Stop Breed Selection Legislation. It's wrong. Punish the deed, not the breed.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." – Theodore Seuss Giesel
About Theodore Seuss Giesel:
Theodore Seuss Geisel, the beloved Dr. Seuss, is renowned to generations of children as the author of Green Eggs and Ham and other deliciously absurd picture books. His first book, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," was rejected 27 times. Remember that the next time you want to give up.
"I learned there are troubles
Of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead
And some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat.
I'm all ready, you see.
Now my troubles are going
To have troubles with me!"
Dr. Seuss' "I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew"
How long, how long can I live this night? Look, the clouds shine, darling, how did you do it? The wind is soft, the rain is beautiful. What did you do to the wind and the rain, and the clouds and to me? See, I am drunk, high. I am drunk on you. We will cross
here where the street is crowded and I may hold your hand. We will ride the subway that we may sit touching, that there be no distance between us. Speak that I may fill my ears with you. Stay near me so that I may fill my lungs with you. Come home with me that I may fill my arms with you. Come where only I can see you, come home with me. If only I can fit my life's time into these hours, that I may say, I was with her eight to twelve o'clock, and years past. I shall never forget you, nor will your memory be ever free of me, for your arms are my home. And my arms are the circle you cannot leave. How ever far you go. I
waited years today, one year for every hour. All day though I knew you could not come until night. I waited, and nothing else in this God's hell meant anything. I had everything you loved. Shell fish, soft sticks, water cress and black olives, wine, from the watch I pawned. Real cream for our coffee, Smoked cheese, currants and port, preserved wild cherries. I bought purple asters from a push cart florist. And placed them where they would be between us, Imagining your loving face among them. But you did not come. You did not come. And I left the table lit and your glass filled, and my glass empty. And I went into the night looking for you. ~~ Walter Benton
The word, "freak" is derived from the Old English word, "frician" which means "to dance." A freak is defined as being a caprice, an abnormal production of nature or an eccentric. It can also be a streak of colour.
In choosing my long time friends, I try to stay true to the deeper (forgotten) exuberance and high spirits of the original word, alongside the more generally accepted quirkiness of common usage.

Roll that
dice again
Once or twice
you'll reel me in
What I've got
is not what I
came for
But I'll keep
coming back
for more
Lay your head
upon my chest
The odds are slim
but isn't
that the test
In this game
you either bend
or break
And I don't know
what kind of mess
we'll make
come on
lay your head
upon my chest
Come on,
Come on,
Come on,
Come on,
Spin that wheel,
spin that wheel,
spin that wheel
Pull the trigger,
load the gun
The journey home
has only just begun
We could rise
but if we
swan-dive too
Oh, I'll love
going down with you
(come on
pull the trigger
load the gun)
Come on,
come on
come on,
come on
Spin that wheel,
spin that wheel,
spin that wheel
Come on,
come on
Come on,
come on
Spin that wheel,
spin that wheel,
spin that wheel

I Will Follow You
Into The Dark
by Death Cab for Cutie
Love of mine
Some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you
into the dark
No blinding light
or tunnels
to gates of white
Just our hands clasped
so tight
Waiting for the hint
of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied,
Illuminate the nos
on their vacancy signs
If there's no one
beside you
When your soul embarks,
Then I'll follow you
into the dark
In Catholic school
as vicious as Roman rule
I got my
knuckles brusied
by a lady in black
And I held my toungue
as she told me
"Son,
fear is the heart of love"
So, I never went back
If heaven and hell decide
That they both
are satisfied,
Illuminate the nos
on their vacancy signs
If there's no one
beside you
When your soul embarks,
Then I'll follow you
into the dark
You and me
have seen
everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles
of your shoes
are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold
each other soon
In the blackest
of rooms
If heaven and hell decide
That they both
are satisfied,
Illuminate the nos
on their vacancy signs
If there's no one
beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you
into the dark
Then I'll follow you
into the dark

"U.S. Knitting"
[from the album "Folktronic" (2001)]
Mary-Beth is living
in a world of her own
Sitting in the schoolhouse
she sews all day
with twine
Making up a picture,
making up a song
Some people say
she's unusual in the mind
They say that she's unusual in the mind
My name's Abe,
I run the general store
Mary-Beth's
a strange one,
pretty in her way
Sitting in the classroom,
a-rocking and a-swaying
A-Sewing and a-knitting
to the rhythms
of the rain
Stuff from what
she's seen
mixed with stuff
from in her brain
And some say that
you'll see
America in there
Folks say
you'll see America there
One day I had
a strange dream
and Mary Beth was in it
I dreamed I plucked a bunch of flowers
and went to make a visit
I marched
up to the schoolhouse
and bent down
on one knee
Asked Mary-Beth respectfully
if she would marry me
Asked Mary-Beth if she would marry me
I said, "My name's Abe,
I run the general store"
Mary-Beth gazed down
from the chair
where she was sitting
Said, "Abraham,
I thank you,
and I will,
on one condition
Change the name
of the store
you keep, call it
U.S. Knitting
And move it
stone by stone
to the top of
Sugar Mountain
Move that building up
to the top of
Sugar Mountain
We will rebuild
the general store
"There we'll sell
my samplers,
make paintings
and sing songs
Wait for the
Lion of Judah
who is rising like the sun
Our pets will be
the eagles,
our crest
a rampant bear
And we will see the
whole of America
from there
Some of it is pretty,
and some is pretty queer
But we'll see
the whole of
America there"
Mary-Beth's proviso
didn't seem so strange
I told her,
"That scenario
is easily arranged
We'll live on
Sugar Mountain,
I'll bring my general store
We'll call it U.S. Knitting
and sell samplers
by the door
Our pets will be
the eagles,
and our crest
a rampant bear
And when
the Lion of Judah
roars a mighty roar
We'll see the
whole of America there"
"This is the sound of someone losing the plot - making out that they're okay when they're not. you're gonna like it but not a lot & the chorus goes like this: Oh baby, here comes the fear again. The end is near again. A monkey's built a house on your back. you can't get anyone to come in the sack & here comes another panic attack. Oh here we go again...So now you know the words to our song, pretty soon you'll all be singing along. When you're sad, when you're lonely & it all turns out wrong. When you've got the fear & when you're no longer searching for beauty or love - just some kind of life with the edges taken off. When you can't even define what it is that you are frightened of this song will be here." - jarvis cocker
