Fictional Saturday-Enjoying Work

"Do you ever envision yourself reaching a point where you're intrinsically satisfied with the work that you're doing? Where you're no longer working to get ahead, but simply because you enjoy it?" as quoted by Elyse Keaton, the mother on the show Family Ties, popular television series in the 80s. This quote is from one of the first season episodes titled "Death of a Grocer" when Alex quits his job at a small grocer for the big time and end up going back to the smaller store.

I found this quote so great and so defining for my work. I love my job and what I do. If all I made was just enough for a roof over my head and food, I would be greatly please with it. I don't know that many people could say that.

Fictional Saturday-Finding fault

"I would much rather have gone with Master Luke than stay here with you. I don't know what all this trouble is about, but I'm sure it must be your fault." as quoted by C-3PO, character from Star Wars series

Fictional Saturday-Silence Donkey!!

"Donkey, you have the right to remain silent. What you lack is the capacity." as quoted by Shrek in Shrek 2

Okay, I have to admit, one of my all time favorite characters is Donkey from Shrek. Why is that? Well, I have a soft spot for donkeys, Eeyore is another of my favorites if you couldn't tell. And Donkey has just come around and made that much more lovable.

"Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out alive!" as quoted by Bugs Bunny, cartoon character

Who ever would have thought a cartoon would have a great quote like this.

Honestly, it's the honest ones you should look out for, you can never tell when they are about to do something incredibly stupid." as quoted by Captain Jack Sparrow, character played by Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy.

Living without you

"If you live to be 100, I want to live to be 100 minus one day so I never have to live one day without you." as quoted by Winnie the Pooh, character created by AA Milne

He may just be a cartoon, but he sure understands loving someone!

After Tony comments on his upcoming anniversary with NCIS. Gibbs remembers the date and Tony is "touched" that he remembers. Then:

Fictional Saturday-Punky Power!

Fictional Saturday-Snoopy

A real beagle won the biggest dog title this week...a fictional beagle gets the quote of the day:

Fictional Saturday-Chandler Bing

One of the reasons why I enjoyed watching "Friends" was because of Chandler Bing. He always had a great comment or quote in every episode. I loved it! So, today's quote is this:

"Yes, on a scale of one to ten, ten being the dumbest a person can look, you are definitly nineteen." as quoted by Chandler Bing, character on "Friends"

This was in response to Joey trying to look like a 19 year old for an audition.
