"The poet ranks far below the painter in the representation of visible things, and far below the musician in that of invisible things. Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?,"Leonardo da Vinci.

Party in the sun, get laid in the shade<br /> Are fingure prints dont fade from the lives we touch<br /> Some of the best things come out of the worst situations<br /> Lifes like a box of chacolate, you never know what&#039;ya gonna get<br /> We always hurt the ones we hold most dear

When I was young I had a quick sand box in my back yard to play with. I had 5 brothers and sisters. I never liked the sandbox. But I ended up loving it because, I was the only child... eventually.
