At the moment I love the sentence:
"Make up your own mind"
If viewed from every angle it remains a powerful yet funny sentence.
Anyhow, Have a good day folks. I'll no doubt be back on here at some point in the evening.
I'm gonna go out and enjoy the weather (its all nice if you dress for it!) and drink ridiculos amounts of ginseng with some good friends.

Little synchronicity:
I had a dream (just about an hour ago, right before I woke up) that I was at a stop light and a band jumped out of the car in front of me and started singing this song at the stop light. It made me really happy.

Aye, Marley was/is a great inspiration to me; must have been all that marijuana that opened his mind :D
Here's the full quote of my sig:
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i28/annie1pw/leaf.gif
Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind.... Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy.
Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!...
The first thing you must know about me is that I always stand what I stand for.
Good?... "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind." ...

Not exactly a phrase I guess, more of a statement or quote that I will never forget reading, because it so shocked me at the time.
I just found it again on wiki:
This comes from a magazine article from back in November 1991 where River Phoenix stated that he lost his virginity at age four while in the Children of God cult with his parents. The magazine quotes him as saying....
"But I've blocked it out... I was completely celibate from 10 to 14". :eek:

I know! :( The worse part is, that statement was absolutely true, because years later after his death, I read a book about his life, and by all accounts his childhood (and that of his siblings) was THAT bad and worse at times......a very strange upbringing, due to the weird beliefs of his hippie parents.
