floss-ophy

My generation has been raised to believe that simply by existing, they are special, and thus are entitled to be treated as such.

95% of human DNA is exactly the same. Get over yourself.

You are unique. So are the other 6.5 billion people who woke up this morning.

Picking one single philosophy to live by is like eating only one food for the rest of your life. No matter how wholesome and nutritious it is, sometimes you just want a Big Mac.

Morality is the practice of making up your mind ahead of time to save yourself from having to think later.

We have freedom of speech because freedom of thought is a little far off (-John Glick).

People who wonder how an entire flock of birds know when to take off at the same time have probably never been to a campaign rally.

The "religious right" is neither (-Mark Tueting).

The secret to wisdom: be vague.

Money is a reward for doing something for the good of the group at the expense of the individual. All societies are based on this principle.

Get on my level (-God).

The most badass guy ever

Why is Chuck Norris so tough? Because Bruce Lee got wanted a fight that last longer than 6 seconds.

What causes a solar eclipse? Bruce Lee with a hangover.

If an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, Bruce Lee beats the crap out of them both. Then he has a protein shake.

The only reason Bruce Lee died was that the universe, being an intrinsically fair plane of existence, could not exist with something as cool as Bruce Lee in it. So the universe, unable to come up with something lame enough to counteract Bruce Lee's awesomeness, was forced to destroy him.

Jesus could walk on water. Bruce Lee could beat the crap out of Jesus.

Chuck Norris has another fist under his beard. Bruce Lee has no beard because hair is afraid of his chin.

Bruce Lee doesn't jump, he dribbles the earth.

The term "breakneck speed" has an exact numeric value of six millionth's of a second, and was coined to describe the duration and constituents of Bruce Lee's pre-breakfast warmup.

How many licks does it take Bruce Lee to get to the center of a tootsie pop? None, he looks at the sucker and it explodes.

Bruce Lee personally removed the word fear from all Chinese dictionaries.

Chuck Norris has two speeds: walk and kill. Bruce Lee has one speed: "What the @#$% was that!?!"

Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks ninjas, Bruce Lee kills ninjas with his mind.

Bruce Lee didn't die, he had a bone to pick with Buddha, and that's were tsunami's come from.

Byah!

Chuck Norris said "Let there be ROCK!!!!" and Bruce Lee said "Shut up and make me a sandwich!"

Disregard this post: stuff for class

Act 1

Summary: The story opens on a street fight between the servitors of two noble houses in “Fair Verona.” The Montagues and Capulets are all up in each other’s grills and things escalate until the Prince of the city rides in and puts a stop to the merriment. Afterwards, Lord Montague and his wife have a little heart to heart on the outcast state of their son Romeo who, like so many teenagers before and since, is a complete moron. Romeo appears shortly thereafter and bemoans the injustice of love and such to his cousin Benvolio. Meanwhile, Lord Capulet negotiates a marriage between his prize daughter and Paris, a relative of the prince. Capulet plans a grand shindig in which the lovers-to-be may be introduced, and sends his courier out to invite all non-Montagues to his bash. Romeo and Benvolio intercept the messenger and, hearing that Romeo’s current crush will be at the party, decide to crash. Romeo, Benvolio, and a plethora of young Montagues are joined by Mercutio, another relative of the Prince’s, in traversing the dark and conveniently dramatic streets on their way to the Capu-rave. Mercution establishes himself as a witty badass, and pokes fun at the melodramatic Romeo en route. Upon arrival, Romeo is spotted by Tybalt, the angriest Capulet, but is spared a swift departure by the good spirits of papa C. Romeo sees Juliet from afar and instantly falls into infatuation with this new young thang that has chased his previous crush straight out of his one track mind.

Significance: This act establishes the principle characters as distinct and relatable archetypes. The conflict of the two houses is set as the underlying theme, and the story opens with a distinct romantic-comedy feel. The act clips along briskly, and effectively weaves main and sub-plots into one memorable swash of light-hearted feuding.

Relationships: Romeo; The young Montague is doted on by his parents and cared for by his friends, despite his incessant whining. Lord Montague, all fighting-man airs aside, is tender toward his son, and shows empathy for the lovesick idiot. Benvolio displays a similar mindset toward Romeo, but it may be Mercutio who most strongly feels for him. Mercutio, rather than offering condolences, encourages Romeo to rise above his melancholy and, in no uncertain terms, to get over himself.
