Favorite Quote:
Sonny, true love is the greatest thing in the world-except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe [smacks his lips] they&#039;re so perky, I love that.<br /> ~Miracle Max

Life should be better,
Happy and joyful.
But life is death,
Sorrow and mourning.
There is no escape.
No life but death,
No joy but tears,
No happiness but pain.
Life is not glamour,
But hurt and grief.
