Heads Up

My favorite Notebook quotes

"They didn't agree on much. In fact they rarely agreed on anything. They fought all the time and they challenged each other everyday...But in spite their differences, they had one important thing in common, they were crazy about each other. "

"Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone."

"Noah: What am I gonna do in New York?
Allie: ...Be with me. "

"The next day ally woke up to find her world completely changed."

"It is over, let it go."
"It isn't over, it still isn't over."

"He got this notion into his head that if he restored the old house where they had come that night, Allie would find a way to go back to him..."

"In the evening, to temper his loneliness, there was Martha Shaw."

"For the first time since I lost Richard, I feel like I have something to look forward to."

"Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing. "

"So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out. "

"My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter any more, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees,
learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah "

"A woman knows when a man looks into her eyes and sees someone else."

"Allie: When I'm with Noah I feel like one person and when I'm with you I feel like a separate person.
Lon: Allie, it's normal not to forget your first love, but I want you for myself. I don't want to convince my fianceeée that she should be with me .
Allie: You don't need to convince me. I know you're the one I should be with. "

"I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough."

Ok I know I should have just pasted the text of the entire movie, but i really believe that it was that good. It's a good movie and if you are a girl in a relationship, you probably got it for Vday.

So I am finally the big winner. I played poker well Thursday night, won a few big hands and ended up going heads up against Grant at the end. He had more money than I did, but I had enough to where I wasn't completely dominated. I was playing aggressive the whole night and continued with my new style of play. I slowly but surely took all his green chips until I had him in a position where I could just muscle him. I didn't just keep going all in to double up or win any great pots. He is almost done and then goes all in and I call with a 60/40% advantage and he doubles up. But I don't give up my strategy and in the end win his final all in hand where he had the statistical advantage. It felt good to finally come out on top. Hopefully I can keep this style of play up and it will continue to work. Each day I am learning and I really want to get good at this game.

I hate bringing this fucker up, but "[deleted]" is an asshole. On the 2 year anniversary of my sister's death, he serves the woman who sold her the car (a car she had to buy because this fucker wouldn't make his car payments on the truck Vero had) with a lawsuit for neglience. The complaint said that she was negligent for selling her car to a "reckless individual" to get more money out of the death. The insurance will pay out its limits (20 grand minus the 1/3 for his attorneys) and probably not let her fight it, but what really pissed me off was the fucked up shit it said about Vero in there....I mean she had no tickets, no alcohol or drugs in her system, but it goes on and on how she was an unstable person who was reckless and drove too fast and all kinds of fucked up shit you think a husband wouldn't say about his wife (and lies at that). A dead person has no rights when it comes to slander. First, I'd like to point out, that he is a fucking idiot for not just filing a claim and not doing a lawsuit, whereas he could get the money quickly with no problem and not have to pay that 1/3 out to his lawyer. This man just dug his own grave and will be caught up in litigation for the rest of his life and it will be my personal goal to make him pay for everytime he steps outside the law. His alleged cocaine use I'm sure will not help him out much. Oh yeah, still no head stone...talk about spitting in our face. Though, I am actually not too angry anymore, mainly because I can't control him or what he does, so I now know his true colors and his heart and know that he will continue to slander my sister, so why be angry over something I can't control and can't change. It will come back to bite him as his own daughters find out what an asshole he is and what he has done. I pity the man because he will always live in poverty and considering he is on the lower spectrum on the intellectual scale, this should be the highlight of his success, making money over a dead wife who not only was leaving him, but no longer loved him. True I hate that my nieces have to life with in a house with a "convicted registered sex offender" "[deleted]," [deleted]'s dad, but at least when I will say things, they will be true. Oh, not just a normal sex offender, but one convicted in respect to children. It is a public record, [deleted].

On a useless note, I found out this week that the St. Thomas that my school is named after is Saint Thomas of Villanova. I did not know that and I think there were a few St. Thomases, but I didn't feel like looking it up. So I'm gonna assume that the school Villanova was named after the same guy. You'd think I'd look up who this guy was and why he was so cool, but I figure I'll learn as my time passes here. This was something random I was thinking while looking at a seal on the wall.

Let me update you on my computer upgrade. Well I finally got the right RAM and a new harddrive. Well, when I moved stuff over to my new harddrive, one I forgot about all my emails, so I lost years of those. I guess that is good in a way because you can't always hold on too tight for the past. I had about 40GB of programs in a folder and most were zipped and now when I try to open them so far about 60% of them are damaged. That really sucks. Why can't things ever be easy.

I think people want to help poor people because they really want to help themselves because they understand poverty from growing up and having fewer opportunities, but it is ironic if they help people but never get out of what they have been running away from their whole lives.

You teach people with behavior, for better or worse
