Favorite Quote:
"'If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight.' Sun Tzu said that. And I'd say he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it. Then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honour. Then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth. And then he herded them onto a boat. And then he beat the crap out of every single one. And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a zoo!


. . . unless it's a farm!" ~ Soldier (TF2)


From solid to liquid and liquid to gas
Or just vapor to liquid or solid to gas
Everything changes, and that is a fact

What can go wrong will, and what won't cannot
Guns aren't made without intent to be shot
Without movement comes atrophy and rot

Solid ground is needed for a city
And our one stable thing, ironically,
Is life's eternal instability

A top won't spin long before it must fall
A phone is not made for only one call
A city's not old before there's a mall

Without change would be no experience,
No men or women to become parents,
No wisdom to gain, no point in patience
