random thought of the moment:
Life is like a mop. Sometimes life gets full of dirt and crud and hairballs and things and you gotta clean it out. You gotta stick it in here and rinse it off and start all over again.

You gotta run to a window and say, These floors are dirty as hell, and I’m not gonna take it any more!
