Fear of the Dark

I can't see you
But I know you're there
In the dark corners of my mind
Watching
Waiting
Biding your time

I hear you breathing
Laughing
Mocking me
Tempting me
Taunting me

You have been my greatest comfort
My constant companion in life
Now I see that you were nothing more than a parasite
Keeping me alive only to tear me apart
All the while feeding on me
My fear

Fear of the dark
Fear of the light
Fear of losing you
Of losing myself

I can't see you
But I know you're still there
I can hear you breathe
Won't you please
Come out and play?

The last batch of quotant quotables.

You must look into people as well as at them.-Lord Chesterfield
But only if you are a surgeon, or a mortician, or a gynecologist. Otherwise you might go to jail, just ask Jack the Ripper or Jeffrey Dahlmer.

A man's own good breeding is the best security against other people's ill manners.-Lord C.
It doesn't matter how many people you breed, the public will still look down on you as a mad scientist. Unless you are breeding giants or monsters or something, then you will have really good security, which will make the good mannered folk ill and perhaps incite a pitchfork and torch parade.

Hear the meaning within the word.-Willy Shakespeare
Within which word?

Kind words are the music of the world.-F. W. Faber
No, kind NOTES are the music of the world. Words are just there to make us sing along, get hooked on the stupid chorus, and waste our money on the CD. Ever tried to sing along to an instrumental piece? doesn't work too well.
So kind words are the "music" of the capitalist elite. Drums are the music of the world since they're really the only instrument that most cultures have.

Arguing with a fool proves there are two.-Doris M. Smith
Nuh-uh! It only proves there are two if neither one wins, otherwise it proves that one of them is a bigger fool, and the other one is right.

Research shows that fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate.-Sandra Boynton
And the other four are the guys who are buying the chocolate for the ten women in hopes of getting something they will like even more!

And last, but not least:The more you say, the less people remember.-Francois Fenelon
And yet we remember all the long winded playwrights and politicians. As a matter of fact, the simple premise that this quote is in here with the others proves it to be false. If these people said less (or nothing) we wouldn't have anything to remember them by. Do YOU remember the guy who sat next to little Billy Shakespeare in class? Didn't think so.
“Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.”
(Napoleon Hill, author)

But a patient with persistent perspiration is an unbeatable combination for Secret. Strong enough for a man, PH Balanced for a woman.


“Confidence can get you where you want to go, and getting there is a daily process. It’s so much easier when you feel good about yourself, your abilities and talents.”
(Donald Trump, Chairman and CEO of the Trump Organization)

also, a private airline and a personal helicopter can get you anywhere you want to go. It's so much easier when you have so much money that you can't NOT feel good about yourself, your abilities, or talents.


And perhaps a little George Carlin?

As a matter of principle, I never attend the first annual anything.
As a matter of principle, everything I attend is the first annual of that thing, cause it's never exactly the same as the one before, and it's always the first one I attend.

Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.
Hey, maybe this explains multiple personality disorder! When the next person moves in, they go up on the roof to clean the gutters, and come back down with a handful of souls that have gotten stuck up there over the years. And you can't throw them away, cause they're perfectly good frisbee souls, so you pack them in a bag and throw them in the closet. And I guess the idea of reincarnation would be when the new kids play with the old souls and get them stuck on the roof, then the kids after them do the same thing, until a huge rain and windstorm comes and blows them all in to the neighbor's yard. And this is the idea of Nirvana, cause as we all know, the grass is greener on the other side.

Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second- best policy.
I can see the employee handbook now... 1. Be Honest. 2. If that doesn't work, be dishonest. 3. There is no #3. 4. Honestly, there is no #3. 5. Or is there?

I'm completely in favor of the separation of church and state. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.
nuff said

I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a part of hell will break loose...it'll be much harder to detect.
hey, as long as it breaks loose and doesn't just hang there dragging along the road kicking up sparks

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted?
and bankers debunked, and teachers detested, and magicians disillusioned

It's never just a game when you're winning.
or when you're losing for that matter. have you ever noticed that it's always those who win that say "it's only a game" to try and make the losers feel better?

Dave Barry quotes

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.
Drink beer and you will sleep well. sleep well and you will avoid sin. avoid sin and you will become closer to God. Therefore, drink beer and you will become closer to God. (ok, so the original saying was for wine, but it works out the same)

You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you this look that says, "My God, you're right! I never would've thought of that!"
Funny, I know a lot of people like this too. (how many of you are now saying to yourselves "My God, you're right! I never would have thought of that, but so do I!" see, told ya!

Scientists tell us that the fastest animal on earth, with a top speed of 120 ft/sec, is a cow that has been dropped out of a helicopter.

then again, by the time the cow is "on earth," it's not moving very fast at all.

Auto racing is boring except when a car is going at least 172 miles per hour upside down.
and that is just about the only reason to watch NASCAR. well, that and the oh so satisfying feel of turning it off.

Fishing is boring, unless you catch an actual fish, and then it is disgusting.
I agree. Then again, if you actually catch a fish, it's not fishing anymore, it's catching.
You know when fishing is not boring? when a fish is going at least 172 miles per hour upside down.

It is a scientific fact that your body will not absorb cholesterol if you take it from another person's plate.
hence the lazy susan, and the concept of Dim Sum. the food is always taken from a communal plate so you never absorb the fat and cholesterol

And I will leave you with a bit of wisdom from Dean Martin-"You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on."
you're not drunk, you're either so wasted you've passed out, or you are dead.
