The best lesson anyone can take from the life of basketball great Michael Jordan lies in a brief period when no one thought he was any good-- during his attempt to play baseball. Those days of humiliation provide the answer to why the brilliant days are so often his. Just about every morning of that baseball summer, Jordan would urge his batting instructor to join him at the minor-league ballpark. Everyone knew Jordan wouldn't make it to the majors, but he wasn't about to concede.

Instead, he worked and worked, hour after hour, trying to get better at something at which he had already been declared a failure. It was the best and truest Jordan.

Then do what you must. -- 10 things I hate about you

I hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around,
and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,
not even close...
not even a little bit...
not even at all.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart certainly will be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping your heart intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it up carefully in the little hobbies and little luxuries of your life. Avoid all entanglements, lock it up safely in the casket of your own selfishness, but in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, and airless it will change. It will become irredeemable. Because you see, the only place outside heaven that you can be perfectly safe from all the danger of love is hell. -- CS Lewis

A woman is often measured by the things she cannot control. She is measured by the way her body curves or doesn't curve. By where she is flat or straight or round. She is measured by 36-24-36 and inches and ages and numbers, by all the outside things that don't ever add up to who she is on the inside.

And statistics lie. -- Marilyn Monroe

I do have my friends, and they have been more then kind. Generous to a fault, they have served me in good stead, and have put up with me for reasons I cannot comprehend. They have provided me with shelter from the many storms I have mentioned and as awful as it all may seem, they are the reason I believe that all will be well. But if not, we can at least laugh about it.

My friends are, and have been my extended family through the years and though the faces may have changed over time, they are all immutably part of my DNA.

The people who cling to rhetoric about family values are the folks who cannot live without hard bound rules. They worship it at times more than god. They take great joy in embracing their inaccurisms as much as I do my anarchism. That anarchism isn't meant to be a threat to there lives, its just the way that I have responded to the faiths and to my fears. I have been blessed with great friends, and they are the indisputable good fortune of my life. They are the ones that have kept the door open to my sanity; For They are the ones that say, "lewis, stop it now, that's crazy".
