Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today

And then the one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun


Pink Floyd - Time


Those are my favorite lyrics of all time. :D

And you run and you run
to catch up with the sun
but it's sinking
and racing around to come up behind you again
the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
shorter of breath
and one day closer to death


Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Nothing compares to "The dark side of the moon"

After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin; they just can't face each other, but still they stay together.

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.

The rain it falls upon the borrower and the lender
But mostly upon the borrower
Because when the rain falls upon the lender
The lender takes the borrower's umbrella

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

For anyone who wants it... and I begin to wonder who would... for a quick project I set up a Twitter account that spits out a fortune cookie from the fortunes file every hour. @usrgamesfortune. Occasionally it comes up with a great (wo)man's quote, but it's rare because of the character limit. Today it came out with a couple of Bill Shakespeares and Mark Twains, for example. I might do an identi.ca too, if I get round to it (probably less than likely).

Contrary to popular belief it is NOT a Bible verse.

The best anyone can figure these famous words were uttered by a court appointed physician to a jewel thief who had swallowed a 3 carat diamond right before the police nabbed him...

And that is my Clavinism for the day...
