Colored Panels-

We all know the memorable story of The Little Engine Who Could it brings us all back to being a little kid and saying "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." How come it's these colored pannels that make it so hard for me to focus on the road while driving. How come these colored pannels have my face pressed up against the glass like a child looking into a candy store. I don't know what keeps me close to them more. The fact that every boxcar has a story behind it, or the fact that it has seen more of this country than I have. The motion of them is a powerful thing. There's nothing more romantic.

-Roll of the dice

Life is like a game of Monopoly. We get to choose who we be and who goes first. We go around searching for the things we want, and the things to avoid. We have the option of buying property and putting houses on it. We all fear about going to Jail, and losing our property. We try to trade values of ours to get the things we really want. We get rewards and we sometimes have to take chances. We have to pay bills and expenses of the city. We all go for one thing and that's "Free Parking." In the end...we all want to win. There's something we have to face and accept. The things we can't control; such as the roll of the dice. You can try your best to alter your shake, or give it a kiss for good luck. But in the end, it's fate. You can't blame others for the mistakes or what has happened in the past. All you can do is focus on yourself; on your game plan. If you don't win or have the most property, you have to have a good outlook on it all. See the good things you did, out weigh the negative with positive. You need to find something in this game of life to live for. Even if it's getting all of the Railroads, or avoiding jail. Always have good sportsmanship. What I'm trying to relate is that if we have nothing to live for. Than why bother living? If we don't have a good attitude towards life, we are just going to keep digger ourselves deeper. We need to focus on ourselves and find out what we want. We aren't playing for anyone else. We're not trying to win for anybody but ourselves. From the first roll, to the last. We are in this for ourselves. Our values might be taken away, possibly lose a turn, owe money to someone and even sit in Jail for awhile. But we need to accept the things we can't control. We can't live in the past. We must live in the present, and do everything we can to alter the future.

-Kings & Queens

Every piece follows a set of rules. Every piece has limited moves it can make. Every piece has a job to protect their King. There is one piece who has less rules and more limits. A piece that can't move like a Knight, but moves how she pleases. A piece that is feared among the opposing player. She is quitely tucked back next to her King. Test her will, she will take you out. There's the one in my life who will always stand to my right. She will always protect me and herself. She will do whatever she needs to keep me out of check. When it comes down to it. I'm not scared of losing. She's the one who has me in check-mate.

-Chance All

We all go through life wishing we could take back things that we have said, done, or even the ones we didn't have the nerve to say or courage to act on. Half the time we don't act upon these actions is cause our fear of embarrassment. You can be the most successful human being in the world. The happiest: the smartest, the richest, the healthiest. But even when you approach a door and go to pull the handle back, and it doesn't open because it says "Push". Even you feel like a failure cause your the one being laughed out. Life's biggest joke on us all is embarrassment. It puts all back in our places.
