I'm Safe

In case you are wondering, Blacksburg the home of Virginia Tech is about 260 miles from Washington DC and Arlington, VA. I'm safe but like everyone else am very sad about today's tragedy.

Random Sayings I Enjoy

"I don't work the way I work, train the way I train, commit myself and suffer the way I do when I've failed ... to yield control of my destiny to anyone. Winning or nothing. You get to a point when that's just the way you feel and you do whatever it takes." -Kobe Bryant
“The cowards never started and the weak died along the way. That leaves us, ladies and gentlemen. Us.” ― Phil Knight, Shoe Dog
“Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.” ― Phil Knight (original quote by George S Patton)
“This might sound different, It actually feels like I’m helping people as I punch them in the face. I’m beating weakness out of them, I’m making them a better person. In my opinion its the highest art of expression and that’s what honestly expressing yourself is. I don’t look at it as if I’m hurting my opponent, my enemy, its really like we are brothers and were painting this picture together.” - Jon "Bones" Jones
"My mommy and daddy know me... " Sonny Crocket
"A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man." -Jebediah Springfield
"Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time I try to do something fun... or exciting, you make it *not* that way. I hate... so much about the things that you choose to be." -Michael Scott
"NOTHING IS OVER...NOTHING!" -John Rambo
Ron Artest: “Say ‘Queensbridge’.” Craig Sager: “Queensbridge.”
"You can't run away from trouble- there ain't no place that far!" -Brer Rabbit
"Black Pool lights… I heard George Harrison say the Beatles used to go and see Black Pool Lights. What is that? Different place altogether? I’m at the right place at the wrong time? That’s how I feel everyday." -Jack White
"I remember saying things, but I have no idea what was said. It was generally a friendly conversation" AP reporter Jack Sullivan attempting to recount a 3 A.M. exchange...and inadvertently describing the last ten years of my life.
"Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station!" -The Emporer
"Punch it Chewie"- Han Solo
Look, it's not in my nature to be mysterious. But I can't talk about it and I can't talk about why. -Rusty Ryan
"Well we gave them a week at the start of the semester rather than at the end but here's my point, OK," "It's Division I football! It's the Big 12! It ain't intramurals!" "You've got two weeks after finals, you've got a week of July Fourth and you get a week before camp starts," "That's a month that's probably more vacation then you get. And we're a little bummed out that we don't get three weeks?" "Go play intramurals, brother … go play intramurals,"
Viper: Simple. First you've acquired enough points to show up and graduate with your Top Gun class, or you can quit. There'll be no disgrace. That spin was hell; it would've shook me up. Maverick: So you think I should quit? Viper: I didn't say that. The simple fact is you feel responsible for Goose and you have a confidence problem.
You ask me to have lunch, tell me you slept with Elaine, and then say you're not in the mood for details. Now you listen to me. I want details and I want them right now. I don't have a job, I have no place to go. You're not in the mood? Well you get in the mood! -George
Hurts to miss that one. -Alex Trebek
