yearbook quotes, an exploration
One day last week, Middle dragged his butt out of bed, pulled on one of his pairs of ratty jeans, buttoned up his dressy blue shirt, tied his tie and donned his prom blazer.
Yes, it was Senior Portrait Day. And Middle's portrait was shot at eight in the morning. I don't have especially high hopes for the quality of the photo - but when was the last time you saw a good yearbook picture?
Anyway, it's done, and now he has to focus on a quote to run below the photo.
We were discussing possibilities last night and I thought I'd run some of them by you....
Kill the body and the head will die.
Hunter S. Thompson
Too negative? Maybe his quote shouldn't be about killing and dying? I don't know - maybe it's just me.
Black as your soul, I'd rather die than give you control.
Trent Reznor
Again with the death? I'm not sure this is the kind of quote one looks back on fondly.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.

This one doesn't really read as good as it sounds - with the voice.
What's that smell?
Tyler Durden
So.
The whole quote thing? A work in progress.

Truly.
Trust me Middle.

Here's the transcript for the full version.
My son found one that said something about being excellent in one thing rather than dabbling in many things.
I'm sure Middle will find one that suits him perfectly.
I'm sure you'll end up with something slightly less deadly and dark than this, all the while being witty and cool, no?
have a great "real" first day

"Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid."
Very noir, but a little wordy for the yearbook.
Good luck finding the perfect eight or so words!
And, happy first day at your desk all by yourself. :)
In fact
" "
could be an option. Kind of like saying "Who gives a Rat's Ass?"
Oh, wait; he's probably very serious about this.
Never Mind.
As a fan of Nine Inch Nails myself, I wouldn't quote him. He mocks his own performances when he's interviewed, saying he's just having fun.

Nearly fell off my chair when I saw my one and only's new portrait on Facebook! He'd decided to go for a 1970's look even though he was born in 1985.
Scary.
