Outside of a dog, a book is a man&#039;s best friend. Inside a dog, it&#039;s too dark to read. - Groucho Marx<br /> <br /> The fear of death is the most unjust of all fears, for there is no risk of accident for someone who&#039;s dead. -Albert Einstein

Way in the back, I stand,
Near the front, I stand,

In the box, with the musicians,
Holding my instrument, I stand,

Near the bench, with the players,
Setting my helmet down, I stand,

On the field, with the Ref,
I blow the whistle, while I stand,

Everyone sits, I stand out,
In the crowd, I stand,

I stand in the halls, I stand in the class,
When everyone bows, I stand,

While the rest bend,
Against the wind, I stand.

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
