Day 24: I flow like the blood on a murder scene

I'm on a Mission, that niggaz say is Impossible
But when I swing my swords they all choppable
I be the body dropper, the heartbeat stopper
Child educator, plus head amputator

Day 23: No matter how it ends, no matter how it starts

"Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop."
-excerpt from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Day 22: I look pretty young, but I'm just backdated

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
-Abraham Lincoln

Day 20: For you I'll be the man in the iron mask

He looked a lot like Che Guevara, drove a diesel van
Kept his gun in quiet seclusion, such a humble man

Days 18 & 19: My bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

Day 19: I've got no deeds to do, no promises to keep...

"He [Jesus Christ]loves you so much, I mean I can feel it, you know? It's just--uh, my eyes are getting teary--He loves you. He loves all of us." as said by the lovely Korean woman who saved my soul in Grand Central.



Day 18: "I'm writing this off as a Sanity Expense."

Welcome to my life, tattoo.

Day 17: Come in she said I'll give you, shelter from the storm

"To appreciate the beauty of a snow flake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold."

Day 16: Sorry!

Move 4 spaces backward.

Day 15: Little Big A

First grade babies
Second grade tots
Third grade angels
Fourth grade snots
Fifth grade peaches
Sixth grade plums
And all the rest are
Dirty Bums!

Day 14: I am gonna march you over to the zoo and feed you to the yak.

And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

Day 13: I'll be chasing you the rest of my life

“Life is never easy for those who dream.”
-Robert James Waller

Day 12: She packs her bags for outer space

"None of us really changes over time; we only become more fully what we are."
-excerpt from The Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice

Day 11: Shorty was hot like a toaster

ShopRite does it better.

Day 10: If I were a painter and could paint a memory...

"If there is no love in the world, we will make a new world, and we will give it heavy walls, and we will furnish it with soft red interiors, from the inside out, and give it a knocker that resonates like a diamond falling to a jeweler's felt so that we should never hear it.
Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does."
-excerpt from Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer

Day 09: Who, being loved, is poor?

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

Day 08: Sex is like snow, you never know how many inches you're going to get or how long it will last!

Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end.
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again.
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Day 07: I went walking with my mama one day

Mama told me what I should know,
Too much candy gonna rot your soul,
If she loves you, let her go,
'cause love only gets you down.

Day 06: I would suggest that science is, at least in part, informed worship.

"The world is but a canvas to the imagination."
Henry David Thoreau

Day 05: Don't be thick in front of me, Al.

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do
is grow old with you.

Day 04: I try counting sheep, but there's one I always miss

I need some sleep time to put the old horse down
I'm in too deep and the wheels keep spinning round

Day 03: I love you more than ever, more than time and more than love

"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."

-excerpt from The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Day 02: And the sun came out.

"What a lucky day this is!" thought Sylvester. "From now on I can have anything I want. My father and mother can have anything they want. My relatives, my friends, and anybody at all can have everything anybody wants!"
-excerpt from Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by William Steig

Day 01: Fall in love or fall in hate.

Leave me your stardust to remember you by...
