Counting down the days... What words are you living by?

<p>The title already explains it. What inspirational quotes are you keeping in mind before Dec. 15 comes by? Prayers? Quotes? Random thoughts?</p>

<p>mine is this random fortune I found in a fortune cookie I opened during the summer:</p>

<p>“To guarantee success, act as if it were impossible to fall.”</p>

<p>and a prayer card I found:</p>

<p>Today I let go and I let God
Take charge of this life of mine
Now in the dark corners of my soul
his light is beginning to shine.
…
Problems that were overwhelming
suddenly seem very small
and come what may, starting today,
I know I can handle them all.</p>

<p>How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where To, where do I go?
If you never try, then you’ll never know.
How long do I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?</p>

<p>Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light.
Climb up, up in the trees,
every chance that you get,
is a chance you seize.
How long am I gonna stand,
with my head stuck under the sand?
I’ll start before I can stop,
before I see things the right way up.</p>

<p>"Hakuna Matata; what a wonderfull phrase.
Hakuna Matata; It aint no passing craze.</p>

<p>It means no worries, for the rest of your days.</p>

<p>Its our problem free, philosophy…</p>

<p>HAKUNA MATATA!"</p>

<p>rather difficult to reach this level of nirvana however.</p>

<p>“there’s no comfort in the waiting room
just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
then the nurse comes round and everyone lifts their head”</p>

<p>– Death Cab for Cutie</p>

<p>What am I to you?
-Norah</p>

<p>I think its more because she sings it than what she says… but I need relaxing jazziness in my days right about now…</p>

<p>What am I to you, Yale???</p>

<p><3 that song brune, and all of death cab

<p>Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe </p>

<p>Jai guru deva om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world </p>

<p>_the Beatles</p>

<p>What words am I living by? Well, today, the words I’m living by are “eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight…”</p>

16

<p>Word Yaguarre… that or</p>

<p>“For God, for country, for YALE!”</p>

17

<p>that’s cheating… you can’t change the words you are living by EVERY DAY!!! ;)</p>

<p>( I always worry that people might take my jokes seriously… that’s why I include emoticons. I don’t even know them all that well actually.)</p>

18

<p>I know what you mean, finalround! Sarcasm is inconveniently hard to convey with mere words.</p>

<p>Another applicable song:</p>

<p>My every thought is of this being true
It’s getting harder not to think of you
Girl I’m exactly where I want to be
The only thing’s I need you here with me</p>

<p>If it’s true don’t leave me all alone out here
Wondering if you’re ever gonna take me there
Tell me what you’re feeling cause I need to know
Girl you gotta let me know which way to go</p>

<p>Cause I need to know, I need to know
Tell me baby girl cause I need to know
I need to know, I need to know
Tell me baby girl cause I need to know</p>
