One of my hobbies is collecting wise sayings and trying to make my own. I know it's nerdy but who wants to be normal when you can be extraordinary.

Rolling Eyes
Here's one to get us started:

Nothing lasts forever; not even your troubles.

just because you are paranoid does not mean they aren't out to get you!

from the day we are born we begin to die, cherish the years you have

he who laughs last is obviously a fool and it took him all that time to get the joke!

it is possible to hate someone you love, but not possible to love someone you hate.

the light at the end of the tunnel are the headlamps of an oncoming train.

if you think nothing can possibly go wrong you're either drunk, delusional or both. ask yourself this......which one are you??

my only fear of death is coming back reincarnated.
