If Not On The Day I Die, Then Not Today

I saw this on the Creating Passionate Users blog

If I had to pick one quality that best predicts success (other than wanting to be successful) it would be the willingness to risk embarrassment.

Scott Adams, the cartoonist who does Dilbert, has a blog.  He is wicked funny and smart.  At least I think so.  He has a really interesting view point on many things, and you can't always guess what he thinks by just reading his comic strip.

 

Check out his blog at http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/

I'm less competitive than you.

This line came from deepfun.com

I haven't really checked out the site too much, but it looks like they have a lot of cool stuff up there.

This good line came of a sweatshirt they sell.  You can buy it here.

 

I laughed when I read the line because I remember my mom and arguing about competitiveness when I was in college.  She took/taught some class in non-competitive games- she's a pe teacher don't 'ya know.  I thrive on competition, so I was always trying to tell her that competition is good for kids!

"He is angry when he leave today. Like bear," said Mrs. Korjev, who was possesed of an atavistic cumpulsion toward ursine simile.

This is from a great book I am reading by Christopher Moore called A Dirty Job. This isn't really a line you can use sometime, I just thought it sounded cool when I read it.

Moore is really good with dialouge and character interaction.

I used to be schizophrenic, but we're OK now.

Over at Digital Digressions there is a nice list of bumber stickers.  This one reminds me of one of my favorite poems ever!

 

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I'm schizophrenic 

And so am I

I intend to live forever… so far, so good

This came from the web site TRYING DESPERATELY TO BE A FREAK.  They have a page full of funny little one-liners.

 I'll probably snitch one or two more in days to come if it has been too long since I put anything new up here.

Since I believe that if you're going to do something, you might as well overdo it,

This is from the site www.theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable.

It is a very cool site about a Periodic Table. A real table that displays the periodic table of elements with samples of most of the elements.

We'll probably fuck it up. We'll probably fail. I'd rather fail than give up though.

This is from a great short story written by Cory Doctorow called 'When Sys Admins Ruled the Earth'. Great part is, he read it and sent it out as podcast for free. See for yourself at craphound.com.

Well, I believe in the soul...

Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days." –Crash Davis

 

From the movie Bull Durham 

There are 10 types of people: Those who know binary, and those who don't.

Here's one for the computer folks.

Are you awary that rushing toward a goal is a sublimated deathwish? It's no coincedence we call them 'deadlines.'

Another from "Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas"

 

Everybody's performing. We only think it's real.

Another line from "Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas" by Tom Robbins.

The Fool is everybody, but not everybody has the wisdom or the guts to play the Fool

This is from a book by Tom Robbins called "Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas". He is very definetly one of my favorite authors. He can do things with the english language that are amazing. Go out and buy one of his books today. When you read one of his books I can almost garuntee you will laugh and you will think.

I needed something to take my mind off my mind.

Another line from Home Land by Sam Lipsyte.

All I can say is "been there".

Each of us walks to the beat of a different drummer. It's just that some of these drummers suck.

This is from the book Home Land by Sam Lipstyle- It is a great book. I'm sure we'll see a few more lines from the book as I continue to read.

Wouldn’t it be cool if Gumby did something besides stand around and suck?

This line came from Gizmodo where they were talking about a useless accessory for an iPod. OH, I laughed and laughed!

Little red wagon, little red bike. I aint no monkey, but I know what I like!

This is from a Bob Dylan song.

We'll be posting a lot of Bob here probably, he has such a unique way of saying things sometimes. I listened to this song yesterday and this line just jumped out at me. It's stuck in my head.

Good luck is the result of hard work.
