A true bad-ass to the bone.

Hell yeah. Both the man and the car.

"Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected." -Carl Jung

The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. ~Margaret Young

I like that. It goes a long way.
We should be kind... not because we feel we have to... but, because it is right. Not to just the ones we love... but, to everyone. I know, sometimes it is hard... and sometimes it's impossible.
I always like the little bumper sticker saying from the Breast Cancer Walks... 'Humankind. Be Both.'

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
Michael Jordan
