"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Murphy's Laws

~A taste for irony has kept more hearts from breaking than a sense of humor, for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself.
~Jessamyn West

So, I believe in Jinxing. It pretty much means that when you say something won't happen... it does. Or visa versa. Yes, I've gotten crap about how it's not real. But I just have to say, while it doesn't always happen... when something like that does, it was jinxed :)

It's kind of like irony-which I absolutely love, by the way. It's so fun to find irony in my own life and some days everything is so ironic it's funny. It makes life interesting, keeps me entertained.

The other day I came across a site of Murphy's Laws and had a lot of fun reading through them. There were a lot I'd heard a million times and some that didn't really sound like Murphy's Laws cuz I guess people could send them in. I'd recommend reading through some. But I picked some of my favorites :)

-No matter how long or how hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper.

-The other line always moves faster.

-It is never in the last place you look. It is in the first place you look, but never discovered on the first attempt.

-Great ideas are never remembered and dumb statements are never forgotten.

-The clothes washer/dryer will only eat one of each pair of socks.

-If anything can go wrong, it will happen to the crankiest person.

-Paper is always strongest at the perforation.

-Window polishing: It's always on the other side.

-Behind every little problem there's a larger problem, waiting for the little problem to get out of the way.

-Whenever you cut your finger nails, you find a need for them an hour later.

-If the truth is in your favor no one will believe you.

-The more important it is to get to a website, the greater the chance the server is down.

And probably my favorite:

-In order to get a personal loan, you mush first prove you don't need it.
