I've grown tired of traveling alone, won't you ride with me?

There are so few people that wake up every day and go do something that they dont dread... Im very lucky.

I've never been someone who's very prone to boredom. I don't know, boredom seems like something you should grow out of at about 15 or 16. There's so much that needs to be done.

I write pretty much year-round, but I definitely do more when a deadline is looming.

Billy here has been talkin' about slicin' his wrists again, so is there seven of you guys who'd like to join him and make it therapeutic?

Beware of making a fetish of consistency to your convictions instead of being devoted to God.

We pledge to you in our name... that we will resist the invaders.

Guys like me come along very seldom in the wrestling business. You can count 'em on a couple of fingers.
