Respect the nerds, they will be your boss someday- The Computer Guy.<br /> The best is yet to come and baby won&#039;t it be fine- A band.<br /> Defiant is the best word in the dictionary!

If I had a dollar and dime for every time
someone told me to Quit it!
Well, I suppose I’d best be rich
like a lottery child,
except
only
a little
more
HAPPY.
But if I
had
no money
at all,
I’d still be
a California dreamer,
who never gave up that ghost
or the next one or even the next one-
Dear God, I’d still be...HAPPY
