I am Sam

Wherever I go, I always have:
My ipod. It's my life line; right to the heart.
A book. So I can always escape reality.

The Necessities:
I'm Catholic. Conservative. The whole nine yards.
Go on, just try and change that.
My family and friends mean the world to me.
Mess with them and I'll take you down.
I love to laugh and laugh loudly.
I'm the loudest one in a movie theater.
I'm bitterly sarcastic and tease without mercy.
Take no prisoners!
A friend once convinced me he couldn't read. Kind of gullible I know.
That being said, I try to give people a chance to gain my trust.
I have no problem talking about myself.
It's pride, not vanity. Ok, maybe there's some vanity.
I never liked the game follow the leader, unless I was the leader.
I kind of like things my way.
I can't stand immature, irresponsible people.
Believe it or not, your actions affect others.
If only, if only, the wood pecker sighed...
If I could do anything for a living, I'd travel the world learning about different cultures and ways of life. Being a multilinguist would be part of the package.
If I could travel anywhere in the world, I'd go to Russia. Hands down.
If I had any super power, I'd choose breathing underwater. I'd basically live in the ocean. Can you say mermaid?
Quotes that take my breath away:
[Lt. Henry]"Hell, I love you enough now. What do you want to do? Ruin me?"
[Catherine]"Yes. I want to ruin you."
[Lt. Henry]"Good, that's what I want too."
- Farewell to Arms by Hemingway
"[Gandalf]End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we must all take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it: white shores. And beyond, a far green country, under a swift sunrise."
- The Return of the King by Tolkien
[Julia]"... I've always been bad. Probably I shall be bad again, punished again. But the worse I am, the more I need God. I can't shut myself out from His mercy. That is what it would mean; startin a life with you, without Him. One can only hope to see one step ahead. But I saw today there was one thing unforgivable... the bad thing I was on the point of doing, that I'm not quite bad enough to do; to set up a rival good to God's. Why should I be allowed to understand that and not you, Charles? ... it may be a private bargain between me and God, that if I give up this one thing I want so much, however bad I am, He won't quite despair of me in the end. Now we shall both be alone, and I shall have no way of making you understand."
[Charles]"I don't want to make it easier for you. I hope your heart may break; but I do understand."
- Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
"Believing utterly in one's self is a hysterical and superstitious belief."
- G.K. Chesterton
"Nihilism is the philosophy of perpetual adolescence."
- Dean Koontz
"Are you kidding? Evil is charming and beautiful. It makes you doubt yourself. It asks for one small compromise after another until it whittles you doen and it functions best when NO ONE believes in it." - Lilly from Joan of Arcadia
