a christmas message from wolfgang Von Goethe

Historically Stuarts have always gifted me with life changing stuff. So thanks to Mister B for passing on this precious knowledge… Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness, concerning all acts of initiative (and creation). There is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too, all sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occured. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe

Only the Essex Green darling. Can you get any tickets for the Kings of Leon in Febwuawy? I will pay top dollar. Or a blow job. Sweetness And light MB x gerard kelly  to Gavin  More options   9:54 pm (4 hours ago) Right off the top of my head…”Modern Times” by Bob Dylan, “Black Cadillac” by Roseanne Cash, and The Guillemots ’ major label debut.  Don’t have too much time right now to think about more.  VERY exciting to be mentioned in your blog.
