Byronic: Characteristic of Lord Byron or his poetry – [of a man] alluringly dark, mysterious, and moody.

Happiness has your face.
Personally I deeply dislike Valentine’s, I cannot remember one year that it went well never mind special. But in the spirit of love, my gift to you this Valentine’s is this free printable gift tag. Right click, save as, print, cut and paste. Add to your flowers, box of chocolates or diamond earrings, if you should be so lucky, for that personal touch. Just don’t propose, that’s plain corny.
My mistake.
It takes courage to say you’re sorry. I’ve learned that the longer you wait to apologise, the more difficult it becomes, and then one day it’s just impossible. Mostly because it will have become irrelevant. What ever you did no longer matters to the wronged party. Ironically, by that time, right or not, you kinda lose the argument by default. Because your “opponent” has moved on from what you still mean to make right. The sooner you begin to fix what broke, the quicker you can leave it behind you.
Very often adults/teachers/lecturers won’t admit to kids/students when they’re wrong. Google will expose you before you have time to edit the Wikipedia page. You lose your reliability as well as the student’s respect and trust. It tells a student the little bit of authority you have is more important than your responsibility to actually teach the truth. They realise that you would rather compromise their education than your ego. Would you pay any attention to someone like that?

Beetle juice.
Quote by P. G. Wodehouse.
We all tend to think we’re drinking from the overflowing cup of life Saturday night. It’s only Sunday morning that you see the beetle… My advice is, shut your eyes, tip the cup, don’t chew, just swallow – you could probably do with the protein.
Passing through or moving in?
A handy guide crammed full of top tips and quite interesting nothings such as:
- Bat Country gained independence in the late 1950’s – it’s highest tourist figures were recorded in the following two decades.
- Upon arrival each visitor is greeted by a vague sense of familiarity.
- Although all the locals are lunatics, they’re very hospitable and incredibly creative.
- The national animal of Bat Country, is not a bat as one would assume, but rather a white rabbit.
- Weather is known to switch between extremes very quickly and without warning,
- Jim Morrison teaches a popular cooking class on Tuesdays.
- Tom Waitts and Nick Cave collaborated on the country’s anthem.
- Does not perform well at international team sport events.

… and many other useful bits of information, sure to improve your trip through fantasy, fear and loathing.
Inspired by the life of Hunter Thompson and the work of Ralph Steadman, who was brave enough to illustrate Hunter’s insanity.

Today was good.
Dr. Seuss said some awesome stuff in very silly ways, here are a few of my favourites:
“A person’s a person, no matter how small.”
“It is fun to have fun. But you have to know how.”
“He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.”
“Being crazy isn’t enough.”
“Oh, the things you can find if you don’t stay behind!”
“Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.”
“Things may happen and often do to people as brainy and footsy as you.”
“Everything stinks till it’s finished.”
“ASAP. Whatever that means. It must mean, ‘Act swiftly awesome pacyderm!”
“So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads.”
