I started reading some of the words of widsom some CF Family members leave at the bottom of there post, and throught they were pretty cool, so I put a few together for everyone to read......

Ezzyrider…life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to scud in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - wow, what a ride!!!

Night Dragon.......sorry I don't have any words of widsom

Very cool Dragon, and your life experiences and more importantly your service to this country are your words of wisdom. We all benefit from your post on this site because of this. Thanks again for all that you have done and continue to do for this great country of ours.          Cheers to you brother!

"It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for waht you are not" come from John Milton's "Paradise Lost" which I read in school when I was about thirteen and it made a huge impact on me.

See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Lost />
Tis about Satan and his demise from heaven, another famous line is "it is better to reign in hell than serve in heaven"

To me it always signified the fact that people must think for themselves and accept the consequences of their actions and that if you are going to be cast out then be the est feckin' cast out you can.

All through my life I have seen people who have been loved for the facade they put out to the public while being complete bastards behind closed doors and this very long poem made a lot of sense to me and resulted in the way I live my life and make no appologies for it.

It is a long read but I recommend it.... a lot!

Angel Eyes has told me time and time again......your to honest and out spoken. I will admit being outspoken has it's draw backs, but when something, or someone goes against my grain, I just can't keep my pie hole shut. I will have to admit people either Love me or hate me,,,,not to many grey areas with this issue. What can I say ....I guess it's a curse. I will also admit as much as I love my tat's, the general public is scared of them, and I don't ever get a chance to let people get to know me before they pre judge me. I chose this path, and I shall live with this path.

PS - not my quote - just one I saw along the way

Hey Dragon, you said you have no words of wisdom but I know you do. To see wisdom in others word takes wisdom too! Dont sell yourself shot brother!

Thanks Brother....how the heck have you been.........Man it's time to get out the leather, or you probably already have. I love to ride in leather...........there is one draw back to leather pants..........things don't exit quite as quickly as other material.
LOL...LOL...LOL

My dad always use to say Whats good for the goose is good for the gander,never understood what he was talking about untill after I had been married for a few years.

If you think you must rely on someone else to provide you basic needs in life, you don't know freedom!

Have a plan. Have another plan because the 1st one ain't gonn'a work.

Do SOMETHING. If you do the wrong thing you can probably do it over but the time you spend dithering is gone forever.

I always tell my son to be the leader of the group and to come up with an idea of what the group should do, that way if its a dumb idea at least its your dumb idea!
