OMENS....

 

"I went to you, and by my side

Enchanted dreams were curling briskly,

And Moon companion on the right

My running, mettlesome and frisky.

I went away, my heart was left

With you excited and aglow,

And Moon companion on the left

My running despondent and slow.

We poets all are of this kind,

Eternal dreams is our mission,

And omens, signs, and superstition

Agree with our soul and mind."

Alexander Pushkin

Translated by Vladimir Gurvich

One of the greatest writers that has influenced

European literature and culture,

Always aim higher...

“It is never a shame to be at the bottom once in awhile.

You only don't have to remain there forever. Use it as a

stepping stone to aspire higher. Begin small but always

aim higher.”

Bernard Osei Annang

Fran Tarkenton

Ballad of the "inglorious bastard"

I come along and sell you well

my virtues many and fair...

As I plan for you a bitter hell

love to sow grief everywhere!

I lie and cheat and tell you stories

that make you weep with grief!

I regale myself with opaque glories

Well: you know... I am just a thief!

Oh I sound good, my lust for pity

hath no bounds: SO DO your math!

I creep around in darkened city

I am your local psycho-sociopath!

Somwang

(dedicated to the victims of those that

take advantage of others thru' deceit.)

Home

“My airplane is quiet, and for a

moment still an alien, still a

stranger to the ground, I am

home.”

Richard Bach

The secret to your purpose...

“The secret to your purpose is to find what

you feel is important, and not pursue what

others would think is important.”
