“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

Nick Russell of Gypsy Journal fame always closes his daily blog post with a quote.
I thought I'd share yesterday's with everyone here , it seems to fit.


Happily ever after is not a fairy tale , it's a choice.

 Love it and it is so true :heart:
 
thank you all this is good Thank you for making my day :D
 
Attributed to one of my greatest heros:

I would rather be ashes than dust! 

I would rather that my spark should burn out 
    in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. 
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom 
    of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. 
The function of man is to live, not to exist. 
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. 
I shall use my time. 
                                                      Jack London
 
As you travel through life, let this be your goal:
Keep your eye on the donut, and not on the hole

It would appear HST plagiarized a wee bit, if not exact, then fully in intent.

I catch up on the new episodes`a couple times a month.  My children and I are all 1% nerds.  so we get the obscure references and jokes.  They are even funnier when we are laughing, and some other family members and friends look confused.
