“People say I talk slowly. I talk in a way sometimes called laconic. The phone rings, I answer, and people ask if they've woken me up. I lose my way in the middle of sentences, leaving people hanging for minutes. I have no control over it. I'll be talking, and will be interested in what I'm saying, but then someone-I'm convinced this what happens-someone-and I wish I knew who, because I would have words for this person-for a short time, borrows my head. Like a battery is borrowed from a calculator to power a remote control, someone, always, is borrowing my head.” PeopleIfsWayPersonsSometimesHappensAsksWishLosesAnswersTalkingMiddleMinutesLeavingPhonesSentencesConvincedRingsMy WayOver ItBorrowedBorrowingShort TimeBatteriesRemote ControlCalculatorsLaconicControl Someone Book:You Shall Know Our Velocity Source: You Shall Know Our Velocity
“In the ring, it's fun to be the bad guy, but 24 hours a day, when you have to talk to kids, and you see Make-A-Wish kids that love you, the bad guy stuff is not fun. I'd rather be a good guy 24 hours a day than a bad guy just for a few minutes in the ring.” KidsGuyFunWishStuffHoursMinutesLove YouRingsBad GuysGood GuyMake A Wish Author:Hulk Hogan

“Eventually as a teenager, I was pulled up on stage by James Brown's saxophone player, Maceo Parker, during one of his concerts and scatted on his stage for 20 minutes. After I was done, Maceo's bass player got down on one knee as if he were proposing, took a string off of his bass guitar and coiled it up around my ring finger. He hushed the crowd and said into the microphone, "Wendy, from this day forward you are married to music. You have a gift from God. You must devote your life to using this gift or else you will deprive the world of something so special." I got the chills.” IfsWorldSaidDonePlayerMinutesSpecialStageMarriedFingersGuitarCrowdsRingsTeenagerKneesBrownStringsThis DayConcertsChillBassGift From GodMicrophonesSaxophoneWendyBass PlayersBass Guitar Author:Wendy Starland
