"I don't believe in guns, or this type of culture that surrounds them, but if you do prescribe to that mode of thinking, and it would actually dissuade you from burglarizing me, I do own AN AXE, and I'm a big enough guy I rather think that image makes for an even scarier prospect if it really came down to it..."

Work Ethic

"INDEFATIGABLE: (in.di.'fa.ti.ge.bel) adj. [La.

TEDDY: "Yeah, I'm great! Bring it on!"

...And of course, this bit is easy: The hard part is figuring out your body well enough to know when you can safely flip the manual overides and power through, and when you need to take a beat to actually listen to those flashing stars and ease up a bit....
