      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      I'll probably mess up the line but it goes something like: "Let's go down to the choke & puke & throw some groceries down my neck".
