Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift; that's why it's called " the present".
____________________________________________________________________________

To give a little Zen spin on Greg's quote above: The past is illusory-the future isn't here yet-the only thing that's real is what's happening in the here-and-now".

Some here may be old enough here to remember the late 60's thru 70's as adults.  The quote above was a favorite of Ram Dass AKA Dr. Richard Alpert (he's still alive and kicking in Hawaii BTW..think he's 87 now?).

My uncle's shared experiences and expressions to a captive nephew when working on junk.

"Oh sh*t he knows that as well as he knows every 1/4 inch of his d*c (manhood)..." usually talking about money or someone selling something with a known defect.

"Reflecting back now boys, even the worst I ever had, was pretty darn good" " There's no such thing, you know, as bad pu**y just some is a lot better... " but watch out for "crazy" well you'll need to try that once too.

"There's not to much bragging or many rulers in the high school shower room." "Is there?"

A man with this receding hair line like this is a "thinker" as he point to his frontal lobes.
A man with this bald spot back here like this is a "lover" as he points to his male pattern baldness.
After a pause and barely a grin. He declares, " but  when you have both like me.........
...."You just Think your a Lover"

"Just a c*nt hair more".  usually a blonde one, but occasionally a red or black one.

To the bolt that resisted every technique known to man to remove without purchasing a new one.
As he lights "Natillda Le Burne" his torch, " B*tch you will...."
