drama, quotation, titus andronicus, william shakespeare in drama, quotation Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at 3:48PM We all knew Megan Fox was beautiful. Even if you're not into the whole hot-tramp look, you have to admit she has many of the more common physical traits we as a society associate with beauty. And I know that it's wrong to just assume someone is stupid simply because they are beautiful, that's rather unfair and so up until now I've given her the benefit of the doubt.
But if what this article says is true...oh man, how stupid can you be. Maybe trusting the quotes that are on quotationspage.com is not the best way to go when sourcing something you're going to emblazon in permanent ink on your body. I'm just saying...maybe find the actual book and verify that the quote you're using is accurate. Check it out.

international women's day, quotation, virginia woolf in quotation Friday, January 1, 2010 at 10:25AM 
Today is a day about resolutions. You know the standard goals that most people set for themselves, they tend to focus on points of excess:
"I don't like the sound of all those lists he's making - it's like taking too many notes at school; you feel you've achieved something when you haven't." - I Capture the Castle - 1948 - Dodie Smith -
I think Dodie is right in one way. We often create lists to give ourselves a sense of achievement over small things in life. We as humans like to imagine that we're accomplishing something grand when we look back on a list and see a bunch of checked off items. Just look to the right at my "Currently Reading" list; periodically you will see a bunch of crossed off books that I have recently finished. At the moment I'm in the middle of several books but you will occasionally see a number of items crossed off. This is me showing off how well-read and literate I am.
I'll make a list anyway and hopefully I can cross off a number of the items. I like to think that the items on my list are achievable in some sense, so here's hoping.
There are plenty of other areas in my life that I could improve on, but I think that this is a good starting place. I'll have to check back in 3 months and see if I've managed to cross off a few of these items.
A Happy New Year's to you! Here's hoping 2010 is a great one.
2010, lists, quotation in random, self-promotion Saturday, December 19, 2009 at 12:36PM In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.
'Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,' he told me, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.' - The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald -
