Words to live by:
To Morrow
I started on a journey just about a year ago
To a little town called Morrow in the state of Ohio.
I’ve never been much of a traveller and I really didn’t know
That Morrow was the hardest place I’d ever try to go.
So I went down to the station for my ticket and applied
For tips regarding Morrow, not expecting to be beguiled.
Said I, “My friend, I’d like to get to Morrow and return
No later than tomorrow for I haven’t time to burn.”
Said he to me "Now let me see if I have heard you right.
You’d like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night.
You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today
for the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.
“If you had gone to Morrow yesterday now don’t you see
You could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three,
For the train today to Morrow if the schedule is right,
Today it gets to Morrow and returns tomorrow night.”
Said I “I’d like to go to Morrow, so can I go today
and get to Morrow by tonight if there is no delay?”
Well well I said to him, and I’ve got no more to say,
“Can you get anywhere tomorrow and get back again today”
Said I “I guess you know it all but kindly let me say
how can I get to Morrow if I leave this town today”
Said he “you cannot go to Morrow anymore today
for the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way”.
I was so disappointed, I was mad enough to swear
The train had gone to Morrow and it left me standing there.
The man was right in tellin’ me “you are a howling jay,
You cannot go tomorrow.” Well I guess in town I’ll stay.

The sun is slowly fading in the western sky.
Sometimes it takes forever the day to end.
Sometimes it takes a lifetime, sometimes I think I’ll never see the sun again.
There’s a heavy smog between me and the mountains,
it’s enough to make a grown man sit and cry.
It’s enough to make you wonder,
it’s enough to make the world roll up and die.
I think it’s kind of interesting the way things get to be,
the way the people work with their machines.
Serenity’s a long time coming to me,
in fact, I don’t believe that I know what it means.
In the east a shaded moon is hanging lazily,
I do believe I saw the old man smile.
I do believe I did, I do believe he’s been laughing all the while.
I think it’s kind of interesting the way things get to be,
the way the people work with their machines.

No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Morning Mantra:
It is by Caffeine alone that my mind is set in motion.
It is by the juice of Java that my thoughts acquire speed.
The hands begin to shake.
The shake becomes a warning.
It is by Caffeine alone that my mind is set in motion.
Litany for Beer:
Beer is the Mind-Killer.
I will drink Beer.
Beer is the bitter drink that brings complete inebriation.
I will drink my beer and let it pass through me.
After I have let it do so, I will turn, and look at where it passed with my bloodshot eye.
When I look, there will be nothing but a yellow puddle on the floor where I had been.
Some people are like Slinkies:
Ultimately useless, but bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
If you light a man a fire, you can warm him for a night.
But, if you light a man afire, you can warm him for the rest of his life.
I don’t like to commit to either Heaven or Hell.
You see, I have friends in both places.

There’s an antelope that can jump twice as high as a house. That’s mostly because a house can’t jump.
