Live your life like it's the 2 minute warning

About Me

Words to live by
"The best way out, is always through"
Robert Frost
"He who finds himself, looses all misery."
"What's the point of living, if you can cant feel alive?
"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not quite, the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
- Ayn Rand
"People only protect what they love, but they can only know what they love"
Jacques-Yves Cousteau
"I know that I am the best man I can ever hope to be in precisely those moments of maximum fear and doubt."
Stefan Siegrist
"Nothing is one hundred percent risk free-NOTHING. But the gain to be made is worth that risk."
John Glenn
"We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves. World peace must develop out of inner peace."
Dalai Lama
"Once you have flown, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward"
Leonardo DaVinci

You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around. What's Your Beer Personality?
My home away from home, gotta love Seattle and the west coast.
