rakin' in the dough

So even though sometimes you're in a horrid mood and you notice everything awful, you can't help but find pleasure in the moment when you come home from work and you're [quite literally] covered with dirt from head to toe and you walk up the stairs and your only neice comes running at you shouting, "Dadeen!" It's pretty hard not to smile and give her a huge hug and a kiss despite your despicably dirty clothes and fouled mind.



P.S. It's roll up the rim time again.

fail, blunder, muddle, err, flounder, botch, fall, stumble, miscarry, flunk

Why are you consistently failing at life?

Why is it that you think that is acceptable?

Why can't you do anything productive?

Why do you convince yourself that things are true when they're not?

Why is it that you can not overcome issues?

Why don't you understand your weaknesses?

Why haven't you found your strengths?

Why are your relationships falling apart?
.
Why are you not doing something to fix anything?
.
.
How do you feel about that?

What do you think about that?

I mean no offence to others who have played this man when I say this, but Christopher Plummer will always and forever be my favourite Captain Von Trapp.


I mean, [insert name here] portrayed him very well in Toronto, but so far only Christopher Plummer has really been able to capture the real depth and character of the Captain and make him into an exceptionally wonderful, though fictional, character.

But just look at this man. He's lovely!

a quote and a citation.

"it was a church picnic with 5,000 people; and nobody brought the salad."
Rev. DG - the Feeding of the Five Thousand
Reverend DeGelder, I'm glad you make me laugh when you're preaching. I'm glad you get excited about the words you are saying. I'm glad you really want us to hear.

" "This is for Boris, from me, to have his uniform made..."
..............Anna Mikhailovna was already embracing her and weeping. The countess was also weeping. They wept because they were friends; and because they were kind; and because they, who had been friends since childhood, were concerned with such a mean object - money; and because their youth was gone . . . But for both of them they were pleasant tears . . . "
L. Tolstoy - War and Peace
Tolstoy, I'm glad you put these words together so that I could make a decision to read them, but not because I had to. I'm glad that you went out of your way to put them beside one another and to alter their meaning ever so slightly with the words that you surrounded them with. I'm glad that you existed and that you left something behind from your existence so that I can share in it, even though you have been gone for about ninety-nine years now.

a favourite.









This girl is one of my favourite people alive right now.

























Also, she is probably the most fantastic individual out there.
Although, I'm pretty biased.
