"Far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much or suffer much, because they live in the gray twighlight. That knows not victory or defeat."

ode to the 80's
"I got a job waiting for my graduation
50 thou' and year will buy a lot of beer
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doin' all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades" -timbuk3
I heard this song on the radio today (105.5), and apparently it was all over the radio in the '80s. I was too young then to remember it, but to me, it sure is funny now. Right now my roomate is telling me that this is in risky business, who knew? not me. Good luck.
