Get used to getting used:
The word used has such a negative conontation but it's not negative, it's to abuse, overuse someone that's negative. To use is necessary and if you can't use someone or be used then you're useless.

Iceland rules!
Blue Lagoon Geothermal Resort in Grindavík, Iceland
(Ok, technically this isn't a pool in the typical sense of a hotel pool. But, it is a warm body of water that you have to pay a pretty penny to get into. Therefore it falls into the category of a luxury hotel pool.)
Interesting 'Facts'
St. John was the only one of the 12 Apostles to die a natural death
The Toltecs, Seventh-century native Mexicans, went into battle with wooden swords so as not to kill their enemies.
Before it was stopped by the British, it was the not uncommon for women in some areas of India to choose to be burnt alive on their husband's funeral pyre
Dublin is home of the Fairy Investigation Society.
St Nicholas, the original Father Christmas, is the patron saint of thieves, virgins and communist Russia.
Urine was once used to wash clothes.
The national flag of Italy was designed by Napoleon Bonaparte
Native American Indians used to name their children after the first thing they saw as they left their tepees subsequent to the birth. Hence such strange names as Sitting Bull and Running Water.

Mr. Magorium knew the deal!
(she hugs him)
M.Magorium: (in a quiet sigh) oh, Mahoney…
Mahoney: Don’t go.
M.Magorium: My darling
Mahoney: I’m not ready, I’m not ready for it to end.
M.Magorium: I’m sorry.
(Mahoney sits down a step)
When King Lear dies in Act Five do you know what William Shakespeare has written? He’s written, He Dies.
That's all, nothing more. No fan fare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words.
The culmination of the most influential work of the dramatic literature is, He Dies. It takes Shakespeare’s genius to come up with, he dies.
And yet every time I read those two words I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria.
And I know its only natural to be sad, but not because of the words he dies, but because of the life we saw prior to the words.
I’ve lived all five of my acts Mahoney and I am not asking you to be happy that I must go.
I’m only asking that you turn the page. Continue reading. And let the next story begin.
And if anyone ever asks what became of me you relay my life in all its wander, and it with a simple, and modest, he died.
Mahoney: I love you.
M.Magorium: I love you too.
(M.Magorium takes Mahoney by the hands and gets her up to her feet)
M.Magorium: (he sighs) Your life is an occasion…….rise to it.
(he kisses her forehead and walks away)
(Mahoney walks out)
(m.Magorium opens the paper plane case and throw the plane for the last time. it flies around the room turning it into the night, he grabs a chair, places it in the center of the room, and watches as the room changes, then sits down, and says: “Good-bye love”, smiling, the paper plane landing at his feet)

St.Matthew knew the deal!
On Tuesday March 10th there is a book being released. Reginald 'Fieldy' Arizvu, the bass player in the band 'Korn' tells his story of his life/rise to fame/hard parting ways/addictions/faith and recovery. I'm eager to read it. This extract from The Holy Bible appears in the first few pages of the book. I think it's a great quote
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life and few will find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
