Paul I could smurfing kill you. The fact I chose those particular Rise Against lyrics, is because I did not believe that "trout happens, it's how you shovel it what counts" had poetic or even polite tones to it. As for expanding my arm piece, if I do it's more likely to be filigree vines than tribal but nice try.
As for mottos to live by aside from the one Paul helpfully posted for me earlier (Yes I know that the sink is smurfing green and ugly as welcome to my rented accommodation!) there's one other speech which comes to mind as something I truly believe in:
"Never, never, never, give up."
That's Winston Churchill right there and effectively, in my mind it means that if you want something, don't let anything get in the way or stop you.
