"There is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now." — Eugene O'Neill

Here's a scene, you're in the back seat laying down
The windows wrap around
To sound of the travel and the engine
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end but slowly drifts into sleep
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone, you are the everything
does it not conjure up those long car rides as a kid?  love it. 

From Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, 1594:

JULIET:
      'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
      Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
      What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
      Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
      Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
      What's in a name? that which we call a rose
      By any other name would smell as sweet;
      So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
      Retain that dear perfection which he owes
      Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
      And for that name which is no part of thee
      Take all myself.

If you're gonna be stupid, ya gotta be tough.

These are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.

 ~Groucho Marx~

Anybody who has an alcohol problem stands in a door frame, trying to maintain his balance. He is either going to feel that he is achieving his best or that he is not achieving at all. This applies particularly in social situations, where we all have insecurities. If you're the kind of individual who feels that something big always has to happen, that each party has to be either the kind you can walk out of in disgust or a great success, you've got a problem. This is the kind of problem I think I had. I think I carry it with me today. I've only not been drinking for two years, so I'm still getting used to the fact that when I go to a party or to a restaurant now, I have to sit and say, Remember, Pete, this doesn't have to be the greatest night of your life. It doesn't matter. If you just have dinner, that's what restaurants are for. We go into them and have dinner and then we go home. It doesn't matter if you don't meet anybody you knew years ago. If these things don't happen, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to get suicidal.

~ P. Townshend

I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it.
