Thoughts For Your Sunday

"The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create."
 -Chuck Palahniuk
Since Sundays are usually pretty boring around here, I decided I want to make it a day that I share a quote or two that I find during the week. I also want the comments(on this post) to become a forum of you guys giving me some of YOUR news. Please feel free to share a good story or piece of news that is exciting to you at the moment, I could use a good laugh! I am off to work for the day, hoping you guys had a good weekend.

  1. Nice quote. Palahniuk's novels are fricken intense and pretty crazy.

    My boyfriend and I are going to Portland on Thursday, so that has pretty much been all I can think about! I've always wanted to go there. When I told my mom we were going she just got real quiet for a second and then said, "You'll never come back." haha.

    Love the new layout! :)

  2. your quote reminds me of this news show, i watched years ago. it said that as americans we are often unhappy because we put such high expectations on everything, then we are let down. i'm also thinking of that song "kodachrome" by paul simon "If you took all the girls I knew. When I was single. And brought them all together. for one night. I know they'd never match my sweet imagination. Everything looks worse. in black and white" how true. enjoy working dear maria.
