Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
Guinness
Probably the Irish in me, but not only do I find Guinness tasty and refreshing, but I can also drink a lot of it and not get too polluted. So far, I've drank half a case in one sitting, with four of those being Irish Car Bombs, yet I was as sober as a judge - or at least a slightly tipsy judge.
Comics
Something I have diverse taste in, from your typical superhero stuff like X-Men (Astonishing X-Men is currently written by none other than Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy and Firefly, who is also my master now) to more mature fare such as Preacher and Y the Last Man.
Serenity was the feature length film Joss made that debuted in 2005 and was the follow up to Firefly. Awesome movie, go thee out and get the damn DVD after you've finished Firefly.
Mal: (kneeling at altar, in disguise) Dear Buddha: please bring me a pony, and a plastic rocket-
Inara: Mal, what are you doing here?!
Mal: Well, you invited me.
Inara: I never thought for a second you'd be stupid enough to come!
Mal: Well that makes you kind of a tease, doesn't it?
The Boondock Saints
The McManus Family Prayer
And Shepherds we shall be
For Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti
Il Duce's Prayers
And when I vest my flashing sword And my hand takes hold in judgement I will take vengeance upon mine enemies And I will repay those who hase me O Lord, raise me to Thy right hand And count me amoung Thy saints.
Whosoever shed last blood. By man shall his blood be shed. For immunity of God make he the man. Destroy all that which is evil. So that which is good may flourish. And I shall count thee amoung my favoured sheep. And you shall have the protection of all the angels in heaven.
Never shall innocent blood be shed. Yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeaful striking hammer of god.

Favorite Lines From Buffy:
From Anne
Buffy: Hey, Ken! Want to see my impression of Ghandi? [she smashes his head]
Lily: Ghandi?
Buffy: Well, he was really pissed off.
Buffy vs. Dracula
Xander: Where is he?? Where's the creep that turned me into his spider-eating man-bitch?
Buffy: He's gone.
Xander: Dammit! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt-monkey!
Buffy: Check. No more butt-monkey.
Firefly
Another Joss Whedon creation, this short lived TV show (cancelled by FOX for Joe Millionaire -- soulless bastards) was basically a western in space, but far better than anything that was on TV at the time, with the exception of Buffy and Angel. Go thee out and get the damn DVD set.
Favorite Lines From Firefly
From the Pilot Serenity:
Wash: Everything looks good from here... (beat...playing with plastic dinosaurs over his console) Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive.
(as Stegosaurus) We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'.
(as T-Rex) I think we should call it...your grave!
(Stegosaurus) Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
(T-Rex) Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh...now die!
From The Train Job
Jayne: Do you know what the chain of command is here? It's the chain I go get and beat you with to show you who's in command.
Heroes
and She called...
Blacks, Whites...wait
African Americans and Caucasians, Asians, excuse me.
Vietnamese, Philippines, Koreans and Jamaicans or
Haitians, waitin' Hispanics y'all.
Please be patient
Mexican, Puerto Ricans, Venezuelan, Cuban, Dominican, Panamanian Democrats
I beg your pardon, you partied with the late, great Reagan?
Republican, Independent, Christian, Catholic,
Methodist, Baptist, 7th Day Adventist, 5 Percenters,
Hindu, Sunni Muslim, Brothers and Sisters who never seen the New York city
skyline when the twin towers still existed.
But still She called.
From the bowels of Ground Zero she sent this 911 distress signal.
Because She was in desperate need of a hero,
and didn't have time to decipher what to call 'em,
so she called 'em all Her children.
The children of the stars and bars who needed to know nothing more than the fact that she called.
The fact that someone attempted to harm us
this daughter who covered us all with her loving arms.
And now these arms are sprawled across New York City streets.
A smoke filled lung, a silt covered faced,
and a solitary tear poured out of her cheek.
Her singed garments carpets Pennsylvania Avenue and the Pentagon was under her feet.
As she began to talk, she began to cough up small particles of debris
and said, "I am America, and I'm calling on the land of the free."
So they answered.
All personal differences set to the side
because right now there was no time to decide which state building the Confederate flag should fly over,
and which trimester the embryo is considered alive,
or on our monetary units, and which God we should confide.
You see, someone attempted to choke the voice
of the one who gave us the right for choice,
and now she was callin'.
And somebody had to answer.
Who was going to answer?
So they did.
Stern faces and chiseled chins.
Devoted women and disciplined men,
who rose from the ashes like a phoenix
and said "don't worry, we'll stand in your defense."
They tightened up their bootlaces
and said goodbye to loved ones, family and friends.
They tried to bombard them with the "hold on", "wait-a-minute's", and "what-if's".
And "Daddy, where you goin'?".
And, "Mommy, why you leavin'?".
And they merely kissed them on their foreheads and said "Don't worry, I have my reasons.
You see, to this country I pledged my allegiance
to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic.
So as long as I'm breathin', I'll run though hell-fire,
meet the enemy on the front lines,
look him directly in his face,
stare directly in his eyes and scream,
"I AM AMERICA! WE WILL NOT BE TERRORIZED!
WE WILL NOT BE TERRORIZED!
I REFUSE TO BE AFRAID!
I'LL FIGHT YOU ANY COUNTRY, ANY CONTINENT, ANY TERRAIN.
I'LL FIGHT TO MY LAST BREATH!"
And if by chance death is my fate,
pin my medals upon my chest,
and throw Old Glory on my grave.
But, don't y'all cry for me.
You see, my Father's prepared a place.
I'll be a part of his Holy army standing a watch at the Pearly Gates.
Because freedom was never free.
POW's, and fallen soldiers
all paid the ultimate sacrifice
along side veterans who put themselves in harms way.
Risking their lives and limbs just to hold up democracy's weight,
but still standing on them broken appendages anytime the National Anthem was played.
You see, these were the brave warriors that gave me the right
to say that I'm Black. Or white.
Or
African American or Caucasian,
I'm Asian, excuse me.
I'm Vietnamese, Philippine, Korean, or Jamaican.
I'm Haitian, Hispanic
Y'all, Please be patient.
I'm Mexican, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, Cuban,
Dominican, Panamanian, Democrat
I beg your pardon, you see I partied with the late, great Reagan.
I'm Republican, Independent, Christian, Catholic,
Methodist, Baptist, 7th Day Adventist, 5 Percenters,
Hindu, Sunni Muslim,
Brothers and Sisters We're just Americans.
So with that I say
"Thank You" to the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines,
for preserving my rights
to live and die for this life
and paying the ultimate price for me to be...FREE

On Love:
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood -- blood screaming inside you to work it's will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.--Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
On Being Me:
Occasionally, I'm callous and strange.--Willow from Buffy
...seeing as how Bush is a vampire ninja what secretly sneaks out of the White House at night and drains hapless victims of their blood and/or flips out and cuts people's heads off. Well, Kim Jong Il might have him beat with the whole starving about 4 million of his own people to death thing, but not by much, I'm sure.
I reckon I speak four, maybe five languages. Of course my native tongue is American, but I am fluent in British, Australian, can converse in New Zealand, and I can get by in Canadian in a pinch.
Yes, there is a certain amount of fascination in watching two (or more) beautiful, nubile women tenderly, yet passionately kissing whilst their hands, gingerly at first, then ever more lustfully, explore the forbidden... uh... what were we talking about?
I was deployed to Iraq for like two months before Abu Ghraib, and even then I, as a lowly Corporal, knew enough not to make naked human pyramids and take pictures of fugly female specialists pointing at naked prisoner genitalia.
