"...Kid, did you ever hear about the dog and the railroad tracks?..."

"...This dog was hopping across the tracks when a locomotive snipped off the end of its tail. The dog yelped and turned around to see what had happened. Another train came along, whoosh! And cut off the dog's head. And the moral of this story is: Never lose your head for a little piece of tail!"

Hahaha... several moments of this book made me laugh out loud last night as I continued reading. That's just one of them. Thought I'd share.

"A grand empty canvas creating my life...
A strange situation - there's no wrong or right...
And I'm learning along the way...
From the first time I met you, what could I do...
But pray for the strength to see this one through...
And I'm trying, it slips away...
A hopeless romantic, but nothing feels right...
A ship full of lovers that sails out of sight...
I wait for the answers to fall from the sky..."
