Famous quote from Crash Davis in the movie Bull Durham that I like...
"Well, I believe in the soul, the c***, the p****, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."
Hm...so it should come as no surprise by now that I decided to figure out what it is I believed in.
Here goes...
I believe a glass of wine everyday is not only good for the body, but good for the soul. I believe people are generally good at heart, they just stray. I believe in spanking children, second chances, and learning from your mistakes. I sometimes believe Jeanie C. Riley was talking about Pearl when she sang "Harper Valley PTA." I believe competitive Rock, Paper, Scissors tournaments are ridiculous and a cup of hot tea with a shot of whiskey will take care of the sniffles for you. I believe no matter how hard you try, your cooking will never taste as good as your mom's. I believe in mental health days. I believe in love. I believe everyone likes flowers, including men, but the best gifts aren't ones you buy. I believe chivalry is alive, somewhere. And I believe in kisses all over, whispering sweet nothings in your ear, and falling asleep in your lover's arms.
A bit longer, and I could list more, but I will decline. Boring you to death with my beliefs is not sometime I believe in. Haha.
I am in a lot of pain right now, so I am going to take some Ibuprofen and sleep. Good Night.

My buddy Todd (Gonzo), whom you've met used to recite that Bull Durham Quote for his prayer whilst we were eating dinner in our Fraternity house in college.
