Sunday Quote

Today's Quote comes from my husband's book he has recently read called American History in Black and White. It's an old lawyer's adage-

"If you have the facts on your side, you argue the facts. If you have the law on your side, you argue the law. If you have neither on your side, you change the subject and question the motives of your opponent."

My husband adds- "That's today's politicians in a nut shell."

Sunday Quote

Lyrics to "Superman" by Five For Fighting

I can't stand to fly

I'm not that naive

I'm just out to find

The better part of me

I'm more than a bird

I'm more than a plane

More than some pretty face beside a train

And it's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry

Fall upon my knees

Find a way to lie

'Bout a home I'll never see

It might sound absurd

But don't be naive

Even heroes have the right to bleed

I may be disturbed

But won't you concede

Even heroes have the right to dream

It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me

Well, it's alright

You can all sleep sound tonight

I'm not crazy or anything

I can't stand to fly

I'm not that naive

Men weren't meant to ride

With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet

Digging for kryptonite on this one way street

Only a man in a funny red sheet

Looking for special things inside of me,

INSIDE OF ME,

INSIDE OF ME, YEAH,

INSIDE OF ME,

INSIDE OF ME,

I'M ONLY A MAN IN A FUNNY RED SHEET

I'M ONLY A MAN LOOKING FOR A DREAM

I'M ONLY A MAN IN A FUNNY RED SHEET

AND IT'S NOT EASY

It's not easy to be me

It's easy to forget ourselves and realize that our heroes have feelings too. If you have a chance I recommend listening to this song.

Sunday Quote

It has felt like forever to me since the last time I blogged. LOL But anyway, today's quote comes from one of my favorite comics that used to be in newspapers and now they can be bought in books. This is from "The Indispensable CALVIN and HOBBES" by Bill Waterson.

I found a couple of the books at Borders Books and since I loved them as a kid I had to buy them. :)

This is what kids must go through when something doesn't work-

"What a rip-off! I ate all that cereal, waited weeks and weeks to get the beanie, assembled it myself, and the dumb thing doesn't even fly!

At least it's not a TOTAL loss it came in this great cardboard box."

And for good measure Hobbes says-

"Oh, boy! Now we'll have some fun!"
