You can be cool and at the same time respect your woman, who will hopefully become your wife, who will hopefully become the mother of your kids. America needs to get back to family values.

I don't want to sound facetious, but humour is the key to the soul. You know what I mean?

NO ONE is immune to the trials and tribulations of life.

Life- ride it until the wheels fall off.

You make due with the time you have here. Hopefully when you pass on, somebody can look back and say, 'Wow, they made a difference in some kind of way.'
