"There is a fine line between Saturday night and Sunday morning". this has been a long time favorite and made me realize to go to 5:30 Mass on Saturday afternoon CUZ Sunday you don't really feel like standing, sitting, standing, kneeling with a hang over. [smilie=umm.gif]

Give me oysters and beer every day of the year and I'll be fine is another great one!
How I wish tomorrow I were fishin'.
Boy, I've got a mission.

That's mine, too. The older I get, the more I appreciate it.

This isn't a lyric but someone long ago said, "This ain't no dress rehearsal boy. You better get it right this time."
Every day you wake up you get another chance to do it right.

I travel on the songlines
That only dreamers see
Not known for predictability
Carry on as you know they would want you to do. ~~JB, dedication to Tim Russert

Take your time
Find your passion
Life goes on until it ends
Don’t stop living
Until then

If I had it all to do over again, I would get myself drunk and jump right back in.

from a 8 foot tide to a bronco ride you have to learn how to roll

I am living on things that excite me be it doughnuts, lobster or love.

not sure on the entire lyrics from fool button but get an s-guitar and a bottle of rum and watch the same thing happen to you

I am just trying to get by being quite and shy in a world full of pushing and shoving.

You've only got two options,
havin' fun or freakin' out...
You’re still grinning, we’re still winning, nothing left to say

Whether it's big or small,
if you have a passion at all,
just say someday I will...

Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
But I had a good life all the way.


With all of our running and all of our cunning,
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane

Where it all ends I can't fathom, my friends.
If I knew, I might toss out my anchor.


You got fins to the left, fins to the right,
and you're the only girl in town ( I do a lot of work for attorneys in my consulting practice so this is my life :D )

As the days grow more complicated the night life still wins

I can see the day when my hair's full gray
And I finally disappear

Religion's in the hands of some crazy ass people
Thank God the Tiki Bar is Open!

My personal fave, too, along with Breathe in, breathe out, move on.

Also like
"It's a little like religion and a lot like sex- you should never know when you're gonna get it next!"

"Money's contraband, you gotta spend it while you can.."

"There's a little bit of fruitcake in every one of us"

"And now I must confess, I could use some rest;
I can't run at this pace very long.
Yes, it's quite insane, I think it hurts my brain,
but it cleans me out and then I can go on"


"permanent reminder of a temporary feeling"

Oh, and that truly profound statement,
"I'd like to be a jellyfish, 'cause jellyfish don't pay rent"
