Killing Johnny Fry: A Sexistential Novel



Be a good listener.

Your ears will never get you in trouble.

Frank Tyger

Still Here


been scared and battered.
My hopes the wind done scattered.
Snow has friz me,
Sun has baked me,

Looks like between 'em they done
Tried to make me

Stop laughin', stop lovin', stop livin'--
But I don't care!
I'm still here!

Langston Hughes

I`VE LEARNED
I`ve learned that you shouldn`t compare yourself to the best others can do. I`ve learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I`ve learned that it`s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I`ve learned that you can keep going long after you think you can`t. I`ve learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. I`ve learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. I`ve learned that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. I`ve learned that it isn`t always enough to be forgived by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I`ve learned that it`s hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people`s feelings and standing up for what you believe. I`ve learned that credentials on a wall do not make you a decent human being. >

Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one less scoundrel in the world.
- Thomas Carlyle

Right actions for the future are the best apologies for wrong ones in the past.

My Soul to Keep
 

A friend is one who sees through you and still enjoys the view.
- Wilma Askinas

Two of my blessings, grandchildren aged 14 and 7

I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than the best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods.

- -- Ralph Waldo Emerson


I`VE LEARNED
I`ve learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. I`ve learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it. I`ve learned that You can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you`d better know something. I`ve learned that it`s not what happens to people that`s important.It`s what they do about it. I`ve learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.I`ve learned that it`s a lot easier to react than it is to think. I`ve learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I`ve learned that no matter how good a friend is, they`re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I`ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn`t stop for your grief. I`ve learned that you shouldn`t be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever. I`ve learned that no matter how many friends you have, if you are their pillar you will feel lonely and lost at the times you need them most. I`ve learned that even when you think you have no more to give when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help. I`ve learned no matter how fast or how far you go, you can`t out run God. I`ve learned that learning to forgive takes practice.





ENOUGH



I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough `Hellos` to get you through the final `Good-byes`.

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.







Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway. >

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you`ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.


People see God every day, they just don`t recognize him.
--Pearl Bailey, 1967

I`VE LEARNED
I`ve learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place. I`ve learned that money is a lousy way to keep score. I`ve learned that sometimes when I`m angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn`t give me the right to be cruel. I`ve learned that just because someone doesn`t love you the way you want them to doesn`t mean they don`t love you with all they have. I`ve learned no matter how far away I`ve been, God will always welcome me back. I`ve learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don`t care back. I`ve learned that it`s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.



Sometimes I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can anyone deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It`s beyond me.

Zora Neale Hurston




I can`t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I`m frightened of the old ones.
