Title: Quote of the week
Post by: PH on Mon, 2007-06-11, 17:01:29
JJ II's opinion on the standard black t-shirts with an album cover on front and the tour dates on the back:

Quote from: JJ II on Mon, 2007-06-11, 16:44:09Do you really think so? I really am of the impression that this kind of shirt is on it's way out.... unless it's extremely well done (or in the metal-scene, where people sometimes don't seem to give a sh*t what they look like).

Let's revive this topic a bit:

"The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects it to change, and the realist adjusts the sails."

That actually describes who i am.  :D

I'm quite optimistic when I say that pessimists are often the most realistic thinking people.
I'm happy to be a pessimist!

Can you explain this one?


How about this one (a deep one):

"When you turn your face to the sun, the shadows will fall behind you."

Or this (more simple) one:

"10 years ago we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope and Johnny Cash - Now we have no Jobs, no Hope and no Cash"
