Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

-William Ernest Henley

People who know what it is to overcome real adversity are the true leaders in this world.

Remember Mariah?...I mean..the *real Mariah..

Hope that made your day =)

I wrote in my journal some predictions for New Years 2010.  

Time Flies.

We'll see how many of them I will be right about...
