&quot;I&#039;ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I&#039;ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I&#039;ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I&#039;ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.&quot;<br /> ~Michael Jordan

Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you&rsquo;re really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners o the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I&rsquo;ve got a few missing. It&rsquo;s okay though, because I&rsquo;ve got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation so when I meet some one who&rsquo;s an 8-color type&hellip; I&rsquo;m like &ldquo;hey girl, magenta!&rdquo; and she&rsquo;s like &ldquo;Oh you mean purple!&rdquo; and she goes off on her purple thing, and I&rsquo;m like, &ldquo;No, I want magenta!&rdquo; &ndash;John Mayer
