Just Get Up and Go

"Nobody cares if you're not a good dancer. Just get up and dance. The same holds true for racing. Whether first or last, we all cross that same finish line. Just get out there and run."

- Dean Karnazes

Win the Future

"We shouldn't just give our people a government that's more affordable. We should give them a government that's more competent and efficient. We cannot win the future with a government of the past."

- President Barack Obama, State of the Union January 25, 2011

Jar of Hearts

Don’t you know I’m not your ghost anymore.
You lost the love I love the most.
I learn to live half alive and now you want me one more time.

Who do you think you are?
Running around leaving scars.
Collecting your jar of hearts.
Tearing love apart.
You’re gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul.

So don’t come back for me.

- Christina Perri, "Jar of Hearts"

Wonderstruck

"This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew.
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you."

- Taylor Swift, "Enchanted"

For My Friends and Family

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of
What we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there 'cause that's what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh

If you toss and you turn and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will remind you...

...You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go, never say goodbye.

- "Count on Me", Bruno Mars

No Curtain Call

I have no time for fear or people in my ear
Head down and running so fast, try not to dwell on the past
I'm fighting through this pain and things I cannot change
Running right into the flame rather than running away.

As it's winding down to zero I am yours like a hero
I'll see this through, there's so much me and you
Take this enemy together, fight these demons off forever
Forever, forever, forever

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, I won't stop until it's done
No curtain call, I will not fall
This may be the one we've been waiting for
No curtain call, just take it all

- "No Curtain Call", Maroon 5

Hotel Hell

Dwight: Welcome to the Hotel Hell. Check in time now. Check out time is never.
Jim: Does my room have cable?
Dwight: No, and the sheets are made of fire!
Jim: Can I change rooms?
Dwight: No, we're all booked up. Hell convention in town!
Jim: Can I have a late check out?
Dwight: I'll have to talk to the manager.
Jim: You're not the manager...even in your own fantasy?
Dwight: I'm the owner....the co-owner. With Satan!
Jim: Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Dwight: But I haven't told you my salary.
Jim: Go.
Dwight: Eighty thousand dollars a year!
