I just want to be a hoopy frood; I want to be a Green Lantern when I grow up. Or, a Jedi… Green Lantern seems just a touch more likely though.

A sampling of some of my favorite quotes in no particular order…
It is by caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion
By the beans of java, my thoughts acquire speed
The hands acquire the shakes, the shakes become a warning
It is by caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion
Peace is a lie. There is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil’s might,
Beware my power… Green Lantern’s light!
I am a node of Server,
Born of flesh and blood,
But enhanced by the power of its web,
I have no use for pain or fear.
My scripts are a focus of my will,
My strength is my knowledge,
My weapons are my skills,
Information is the blood of my body,
I am part of the greater network,
I am host to the vast data of server,
My flesh is weak,
But my connection is eternal,
And therefore I am a god
