Some quotes I like

"Who formed Christ but Herod and Caesar, the cruel and bloody victories of Caesar?"- American poet Robinson Jeffers
Always put one in the brain- Johnny Casper in Miller's Crossing
"You want to help mankind? Tell funnier jokes- the glowing alien to Woody Allen in Stardust Memoires.
Underemployed since 1987, I've worked in kitchens, clean rooms and the state psychiatric hospital. I got my degree in English and journalism from Trinity University, so I talk and write real good. My interests include fishing, walking, reading, booze and mouthing off.
Happy Birthday from Ann and Aaron! Ann says you don't look a day over 35.
