“It’s not an accident if you enjoy it.”

This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week.  A lot of smack is talked about accidents, but if it wasn’t for accidents a lot of us wouldn’t be here.  So how about we step off of accidents just a smidge, okay?

“Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.” —Maya Angelou

This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week. We’re the Tempur-Pedic mattress for your soul, except we’re a lot cheaper, don’t have a 20-year warranty, and you can’t have sex on top of us.

“If you want to find out what a writer or a cartoonist really feels, look at his work. That’s enough.” —Shel Silverstein

This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week.  We could just tell you straight up how we feel, but we’d rather make you work for it.  It’s more fulfilling and worthwhile that way, don’t you think?

Precious Encouragements – October 2007

September 6, 2009

“An optimist says, “The drink is half full.” A pessimist says, “The drink is half full, but I might have bowel cancer.” —Kids in the Hall

“Folks: It’s time to evolve ideas. You know, evolution didn’t end with us growing thumbs. You do know that, right? Didn’t end there. We’re at the point, now, where we’re going to have to evolve ideas. The reason the world is so fucked up is we’re undergoing evolution. And the reason our institutions, our traditional religions, are all crumbling, is because … they’re no longer relevant. They’re no longer relevant. So it’s time for us to create a new philosophy and perhaps even a new religion, you see. And that’s okay ’cause that’s our right, ’cause we are free children of God with minds who can imagine anything, and that’s kind of our role.”  —Bill Hicks

“The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly colored and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, “Hey – don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride…” And we… kill those people.” —Bill Hicks

“At some point, you just don’t care anymore.” —RF

These were your Precious Encouragements of October 2007.
