“This guy’s walking down a street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep, he can’t get out. A doctor passes by, and the guy shouts up, “Hey you, can you help me out?” The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a priest comes along, and the guy shouts up “Father, I’m down in this hole, can you help me out?” The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by. “Hey Joe, it’s me, can you help me out?” And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, “Are you stupid? Now we’re both down here.” The friend says, “Yeah, but I’ve been down here before, and I know the way out.”

you are like oxygen. you are the breathes i take each day that fill my lungs and keep me going. you are the strength in my bones that allows me to stand, facing the day. you have consumed my mind and left me with all but thoughts of you. you are my love, dearly and wholly. without you i am lost. but with you i am every magical thing that this life has to offer.
“I imagine that being in a relationship is like learning to play the piano, or any
instrument for that matter. There is no sheet music for life. You hit a couple of
notes and sometimes you get lucky and they actually sound pretty good together.
But more often than not, you immediately forget everything that you just did,
and in searching for the same sequence of notes, you actually stumble upon a
completely different melody that is even better than the original. Sometimes,
just sometimes, the second verse is better than the first.”
