smile wide

*When you cry be sure to dry your eyes,
cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile be sure to smile wide,
and don't let them know that they have won.
And when you walk, walk with pride,
and don't show the hurt inside,
because the pain will soon be gone.*

all that is now

All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

myself

I talk to myself b/c I like dealing w/ a better class of people.

thermodynamic equation

If you are not a thermodynamic equation or function, I don't know you.

lose it all

You can lose all your money
You can lose all your gold
You can never lose your heart

The best reason for having dreams is that in dreams no reasons are necessary...

week from hell

And the week from hell continues to hit the four of us. I'd like just one day this week where shit doesnt go down around here.

quotes

I need some new quotes for away messages - any suggestions?!?

God and love

Nothing is more practical than finding God,that is, falling in love
in a quite absolute, final way.
What you are in love with,
what seizes your imagination,
will affect everything.
It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read,
who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.
Fall in love,stay in love, and it will decide everything.

Friday!

tomorrow is finally friday.. shaweet!

Amazing Day
I want the world to be as happy as I am.

what to do?

ugh, what to do

we kissed

When we kissed we spit white noise.

test taking

For those of you that know me and know me well:
I have this annoying little habit or rushing through exams (present since Kindergarden). I e-mail my professor curious as to why I do not have a mid-term grade. His reply? He would not be able to give me a passing grade because I completely SKIPPED an entire part of the mid-term. Thank God he realized that I did not to this on purpose.

Needless to say, Danny Brown currently rocks my world.

no one else

you decide how much faith people have in you... no one else has that power

free coffee

obviously, free coffee takes precedence over everything else.

including, but not limited to, showering, shaving, and schoolwork.

Adam and Eve

I feel like Adam when he said to Eve, `Back up, I don't know how big this gets.

I'm a pyro

Somethings I learned today...
1. Strike-on-the-box matches light the same as matches from a book.

2. If you hold both a box match and book match straight up, the book match will burn itself out much sooner than the box match will.

3. Matches from a box smell up a room more than using just a lighter.

and 3 reasons I'm a pyro...
(same as above)

hi god

Hi God,

I want my life back.

Love,
Matt

man, i miss you kids

Self-Esteem and ID Cards

Why are the most important things so small and easy to lose- like id cards and keys and self-esteem?

Ricky Martin

One of the few things I hate more than Ricky Martin is waking up to the smell of cigarette smoke accompanied by Ricky Martin.

Elliot Yamin

It's Elliott Yamin Day!!

...I haven't been this excited since Carrie Underwood Day.

gold and alcohol

"Goldschlager tastes like Christmas".... my brother lol

wisdom

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

Don't lie, you check them

Hello, my name is Maggie.

And yes, I am an Away Message Checker.

Aren't we all? We're all curious as to what our friends/family/neighbors are doing with their lives and we just want them to post it online in the form of an away message.

There's so much you can tell from an away message. You can tell who's happy, who's sad, who just got dumped. It's an art, really.

I created this blog to celebrate that art.

I've changed the screennames of those who's away messages I use, but, they are brilliant in their own right. Whether a joke, a tear, or a smile is meant, each away message is unique.

So here's to being away from the computer.

Creativity is encouraged.

How this works:

I change all the names associated with each message. No one gave me permission to use them, these are all posted on sites like Facebook, Myspace, or AIM that use status updates or away messages for friends and family to see.
I do not own any of these photos (unless otherwise noted), they belong to the copyright owners, and are all attributed back to the owner's flickr accounts.

The juxtaposition of both though, is uniquely mine.

To send me an e-mail send it to: maggie [dot] brockmann [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thanks!
