I've never really thought about it that much, but off the top of my head, the latest thing that I've been walking around with is this: "Music is a great big resevoir..." John Coltrain said that, and I like it. But I should probably find something more pertanent to life as a whole. I'm sure I'll come up with it on my 40th birthday... ohhh... can anyone tell me the average lifespan? I want to start a countdown to when I will have lived the average lifespan. Just to have a reason to not waste my time... no that I should NEED one.
that's all,

My personal motto (which I stole from Neal Stephenson): "Whenever serious and competent people need to get things done in the real world, all considerations of tradition and protocol fly out the window."

Personal mottos... I have several. Here's a sampling:
"I'm only a team player when I get to be the coach."
"Don't settle for mediocrity -- be serious about having fun."
"When word and deed become one, then you have truth."
"Know your damn role."
"QCT forever, baby."

that is mine. And i would have to agree that 8th grade in many ways still shapes who i am today. i will never forget VOLARE and always listen to classical music when i write. My history Notebook still keeps me company on those study nights and I still have my 8th grade notebook. THat class made me want to be a journalist, she inspired me to write.
