You want that ice cream cone? Fuck you. You ain't getting it.

When I was a kid, I would pray the rosary until I fell asleep. There are rules to the rosary that work well with an OCD kid. Plus, the rosary is crazy. You may see some jewelry, but the truth is, it's full of mystery.

Rosary comes from the Latin word rosarium, which means rose garden. It combines vocal and silent meditational prayer, consisting of repeated sequences of the Lord's Prayer followed by ten Hail Mary and a single praying of "Glory Be to the Father" and is sometimes accompanied by the Fatima Prayer. Each of these sequences is known as a decade. As you pray each decade, you meditate on one of the Mysteries of the Rosary, which are events in the lives of Jesus Christ and his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

There are 15 mysteries, in 3 sets, joyful sorrowful and glorious. In 2002, Pope John Paul II announced 5 new optional mysteries, the luminous mysteries, bringing the total number of mysteries to 20.

Even now, when in the car, I sometimes pray the Rosary. I'm not sure if I believe in God or anything at all, but it makes me feel better sometimes to meditate and pray.

I am your yard. You'll walk all over me, let your dog shit all over me and forget about me from time to time. But I'll always be here.

When I was a kid, I always wanted an all concrete yard so that I never had to cut grass again. But now that I am in the city, I appreciate the green. That said, I hate cutting grass.

One more draw, one more sip. I always leave some behind. I never finish a drink. Sometimes, I feel like I can't finish all they have given me. Other times, I hover at the table and want to sip again and again at my water. Just one sip. Just one more taste. All water is recycled over time, again and again. You may have drank the water that a famous gladiator once sipped. Who knows?

Most of us never realize that we are creating shrines to our lives. We only see that we are placing what's in our pockets somewhere or our loose change somewhere to collect it for eventual use. But the truth is, we are leaving our identity for others to see.

Why are games called such horrible names? Aggravation. Trouble. Monopoly. I guess Candy Land is a good name. It does not make you think all fucking hell is about to rain down. If there was a board game that I had my face on, it'd be Sorry.

Sometimes, it's simple. But it's times like that that I realize that worrying about life makes it even less simple. Why obsess over simple? Just enjoy that it is that way. These guys? If you can't get it? They don't have it. Also, if they don't have it, the other signs says that they will get it. Even if you can't find it, you don't need it, but you'll get it. See? Simple.

"I do declare," said Barbie, "we are going to a cotillion."

"Do you think the boys will ask us to dance?" inquired Barbie.

"I, for one, know that they surely will," answered Barbie.

"But my dress...will the boys notice my dress?" Barbie was in a state.

Just then, a small child bought all 4 for $3 and threw them in a shopping bag.

What route did these hard rubber tires once roll over? Did they take the kids from to some other place, far from the two lane highway that goes over hills and valleys, buried in the woods? The kids are long gone, long escaped and the cars remain, hoping to fuel the dreams of a whole new generation of drivers.
