take_a_risk_and_keep_it Dafremen My son said that. Awful wise for a 9 year old. He was trying to convince his mother to run across the street before the crossing light changed. (She's a Cancer, fellow crabs will understand her hesitation.) He looked at her, grabbed her hand and just ran out into the street, pulling her along. Well she's a mother FIRST and her babies are number one, (You fellow crabs will understand) so she runs with him across the street (he's strong for his age.) When they get to the other side, my Taurean son looks up at her and says, "See Mama? We made it! Sometimes you gotta just take a risk and keep it." Absolutely brilliant words from a very charming young man. Regular chip off the old block. : ) 030427 ... zmo thanks dad 031009 ... no reason kids have some of the greatest and most worthwhile advice ever. :) 031009 ... smurfus rex my 2 1/2 year old niece told me to go to Hell. my sister didn't appreciate my laughing hysterically, as "that will only encourage her"... 031118 ... Spare Change Take your risk and keep it; choose your cliff and leap it. Every days a new one; shining with a new sun. Make a choice and follow through; sail into the wild blue. Make your gamble play your hand; don't write your name upon the sand. It's all possibility, endless oportunity. Take your risk and keep it; Choose your cliff and leap it. 031118 ... dafremen "You need a little danger in your life. Take a fucking chance once in awhile, will ya? What are you gonna do? Play with your prick for another 30 years? What? Are you gonna read people magazine and eat at Wendy's until the end of time? Take a fucking chance! ..but I also know that most Americans are soft, and frightened and unimaginative and they don't realize that there's such a thing as dangerous fun. And they certainly don't recognize a good show when they see one. ..Far as I'm concerned..all of this airport security...all of the searches, the screenings, the cameras the questions..it's just one more way of reducing your liberty and reminding you that they can FUCK WITH YOU any time they want. As long as you put up with it. Which means, of course..any time they want. Cuz that's what Americans do now. They're always willing to trade away a little of their freedom in exchange for the feeling..the ILLUSION of security.." - George Carlin 080604 what's it to you? who go blather from
