The man pictured is Jay-Z, and one of the lyrics from a song on a recent album of his is:

And it’s much bigger issues in the world, I know
But I first had to take care of the world I know

Hey all.  It is me, Armen, also known as the coolest guy on and off the internet, back with another post~.  I do it for the people.  This one is about quotes some fellow bloggers(I might as well use that term for a change, but I’m not a blogger, I’m a site-writer) use on a regular basis in their thoughts, or that they use as a motto, or that they are quite fond of.

As you read these quotes, you might want to think about a quote that you have running in your thoughts at regular times.  It could be a short one like “Just do it” that you use to get things started or completed, or “what goes around comes around” to deal with someone wronging you.  Whatever it may be, it can be good to know what quotes are in your thoughts on a regular basis.

What can make the difference between whether you like where you live or whether you don’t?  A huge part of it is whether you have people you are close or friends with in your area.  The people we connect with change how we view our local environment, and potentially, the world.  We want to feel like we are part of a group or unit.
