Things for Quinn - Opening the Door to A Future

Engines. That's something else about being a teenager. There are all these engines, and somehow you end up with the ignition keys to some of them and you start them up but you don't know what the fuck they are or what they're supposed to do. There are clues, but thats all.

Engines. They give you the keys and some clues and they say, start it up, see what it will do, and sometimes what it does is pull you along into a life that's really good and fulfilling, and sometimes what it does is pull you right down the highway to hell and leave you all mangled and bleeding by the roadside.

What is Success?

To laugh often and love much;
To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;
To earn the approval of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give one's self withoutthe slightest thought of return;
To have accomplished a task, whether by a healthy child, a rescued soul,
    a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exaltation;
To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
That is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

And no, my brother and I are NOT twins. We're five years apart.
