Yes i have alot of money, Im the kind of person who isnt afriad of being mugged in LA or where ever i go. Usually when some mugger comes up to you and tells you gimmie your money, if you say no, they shoot you. With me however, I keep 100's in my coat pocket, all i have to do is say "YEs here it is" throw it the other way and run." I told that to my friend who happenes to be the president of the regional wells fargo, and he told me that it was a wise way to invest in money. Just for a few 100's that i could have replaced in a few hours, I was able to buy my life and secure it for a few more minutes. So now that i have all this...what do i do with my free time? Well I can travel, I get to teach my kids world history and take them there. I get to sponser teams, groups, give back to the community, and most of all, I get to spend time with my family. something I wasnt able to do till before i was married! -David Shores

Life isn't about finding answers, it's about learning what the questions are.

When did enjoying life require millions? Does it take a million dollars to eat a candy bar? Does it take a million to watch your favorite movie? Sometimes the most enjoyable things in the world are things that cost absolutely nothing. Enjoy this life each moment as if you were going to die later in the day. Make each breath a symphony. Make each sorrow a reason to laugh.

There's religion, spirituality, and comedy. Sometimes the they mix in very interesting ways.

Immortality is about watching everyone you've ever known escape the pain of this life.

I find it funny that people who believe they were saved by God forget the fact that God put them in harms way in the first place.

<King>"Are all men of the future loud mouth braggarts?" <Ash>"Just me baby"
<Vezzini>"Inconceivable."<Fezzik>"I do not think that word means what you think it means"

<V>"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both
victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere
veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant,
vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands
vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin
vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious
violation of volition! [slashes a "V" into a Norsefire poster]
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in
vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the
vigilant and the virtuous. [giggles] Verily, this vichyssoise
of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very
good honor to meet you and you may call me "V"."
