"Everyone thinks JayZ is rich because he drives a Mercedes. But I got an Altima and $50,000 in my pocket. Who's a rich man now?" - Chris Rock

Scrubs...
Elliot: "You know what's funny? When I said I loved you, it was an accident. I never really loved you."
Now ex-boyfriend: "(dryly) That is an absolute riot."

Pablo Neruda is never trite, though this is almost too sweet for my taste.

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

During the 12 hour drive to and from Miami for spring break, I heard several songs I just had to download. Here are those songs:
Celine Dion - Drove All Night
Del Amitri - Roll to Me
Go West - Faithful
Garth Brooks - Standing Outside the Fire
Dixie Chicks - Long Time Gone
Live - Lay Me Down
David Garza - Disco Ball World

I love suddenly remembering songs I used to love (I can't wait until 90's stations start up). Roll to Me and both of UB40's hits are good examples. I still just love them, even after all these years.

Listening to... King of Wishful Thinking - Go West
Feeling... accomplished.

Today's highs and lows:
+Excellent almond poppy seed muffin for brunch, thank goodness no drug tests for me.
+Knocked out my stats test
+Had the nerve to do the cutting and poking during my fetal pig dissection
+Named the pig Gigi
-Shrieked like a little girl when someone opened the drawer next to me and there was a really gross half-dissected pig in there (that's where we were supposed to store them, it was just the initial shock of seeing the pigs and it being so close to me the whole time)
-Won't eat anything I've touched. I feel contaminated from the dissection.

Did you know.... Nicholas Hammond, who played Spiderman in the old skool tv show, also played Frederick Von Trapp in The Sound of Music? Wow.... Thanks VH1's Where are they now?

Best recent Friends quote:
"One ridiculous problem at a time, please!" - Chandler

Now that I've seen Sweet Home Alabama five times, I have two corrections:
1. The Golden Cherry (where Andrew says he is staying) is in Opelika, not Greenville (and is one trashy little establishment)
2. We don't play "Sweet Home Alabama" at every event of our lives. It is a good song though.
