Random Signs

So, I was reminded, while I was driving on 83 today, that I needed to post these two signs that I have been a witness to.

This one is a billboard on the side of 83 North, just as your leaving Downtown Baltimore:

Sex can wait. Your future can't.

Very telling, don't you think?! I like it because it's so random on the side of the highway.

Now, this is a classic and I witnessed this on below a used card dealership sign in Asheville:

Wedding dress for sale. Only worn once, by mistake.

BRILLIANT! I think it was a fantastic ad, and it was made even better by the placement, because it has NOTHING to do with cars.

I'm just saying...two great signs to brighten your day.

Notable Quotes

I wanted to add some of my favorite quotes as of late...they reflect some of my current mood, but I also just like them for what they are and who wrote them...I guess you could say they were "deep" but I just like the flow of them...


Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
-Fire and Ice by Robert Frost


These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume.
-Romeo & Juliet, Act II, Scene iv


But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die.
-Genesis 2:17

And so it begins...

Well, this is the first of hopefully many posts. I am trying this in a new and exciting, yet darker time in my life. As I begin a new job in a new city, I think back on the life I have had so far and I'm grateful. Everything has led me to this point. While I am currently under some emotional stress, I do not regret what has gotten me here. Everything happens for a reason...maybe. I'm not entirely sure I agree with this statement, but it's more than what I have to go on at the point. My future isn't very clear, nor did I expect it to be. Although I wish it were more clear than my current vision allows.
My blog's address, I believe, suits me well. At least the stubborn part. Angel? Probably more like devil, but I truly think that "stubborn" and "angel" combined suit me better. Hell, Lucifer was considered a "fallen angel" but that was already taken. As for the blog heading, well, I do believe this. I feel deep down I have had and probably will always have trouble with my soul. I don't think I've ever completely understood and nor will I understand the capability of my soul. I guess it will just have to come down to that final day...
