A Regurgitation of the Mind

Day 05: Your Favourite Quote

Impossible to pick just one. I’m not one of those people whose rooms are filled with posters of awesome rock bands, hot supermodels or photos of goon-filled nights of adventure with friends. I cover my walls in quotes. So, just gazing around my room now, I’m going to give you a couple of my favourites.

“Colin didn’t like coffee. He liked the idea a lot - a warm drink that gave you energy and had been for centuries associated with sophisticates and intellectuals. but coffee itself tasted like caffeinated stomach bile” - UNKNOWN

I relate to this so much. Every couple of months I go and make myself a coffee, hoping that my taste buds will have matured enough to enjoy it. Then I take a sip, convulse violently, spit out the contents of my mouth into a sink and pour the rest of the drink down with it.

“I’d rather be a super something than a boring anything else” - LORNA WANT

Technically this isn’t a quote, it’s from a song. But so true. I guess I try and attack everything with vigour, energy and excitement. I don’t want to be one of these people who just goes through life simply living. I want to enjoy every second. I have this quote right near one of my mirrors in my room, so when I look at myself in the mirror at the start of every day, I see it and try to make sure that I will live to the full. It sounds so corny and stupid, but it’s what I try to do. And it works, so I’m not going to bag it out just yet.

“When you think of giving it all up, remember why you held on for so long” - BEAU HARRIS

This one’s on my door, for the reason that when I leave my room, I have an uncanny habit of going off to do something that I really don’t want to do. Like walking away from an assignment due the next day that’s seemingly impossible. That way I see it and then grudgingly go back to whatever I was doing. It’s definitely saved my schooling ass on more than one occasion

Every woman should have four pets in her life: A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bedroom and a jackass that pays for everything” - PARIS HITLON

No real explanation for this one, other than the fact it cracks me up whenever I see it.
