Charlie Sheens quotes

Over the past few weeks, in interview after interview (and twitter/video blogs), Charlie Sheen has dropped lines inconceivable to most human beings. Often obtuse, hilarious and downright bizarre, he's morphed from the star of TV's No. 1 comedy to a foamy-mouthed crusader bent on destroying anything blocking his path to Awesomeville. Here are some of his whacky and zany quotes, make of it what you can!
  • People are mystified by this odyssey that refuses to quit calling itself Charlie Sheen.”
  • “Winning, anyone? Rhymes with winning. Anyone? Yeah, that would be us. Sorry, man, didn’t make the rules. Oops!”
  • “I am battle-tested bayonets, bro.”
  • “I’m so tired of pretending my life isn’t perfect and bitching and just winning every second and I’m not perfect and bitchin’.”
  • “Look what I’m dealing with, man, I’m dealing with fools and trolls.”
  • “It’s just strafing runs in my underwear before my first cup of coffee, because I don’t have time for these clowns.”
  • “They lay down with their ugly wives and their ugly children and just look at their loser lives and then they look at me and say “I CAN’T PROCESS IT,” well, no, you never will, just stop trying. Sit back and enjoy the show.”
  • “You have the right to kill me, but you do not have the right to judge me. Boom. That’s the whole movie. That’s life.”
  • “Check it, Alex, I embarrassed (Two and a Half Men creator, Chuck Lorre) in front of his children and the world by healing at a rate that his unevolved mind can’t process.”
  • “I’m sorry man, I got magic and I’ve got poetry in my fingertips, you know, most of the time, and this includes naps. I’m an F-18, bro.”
  • “Oh wait, can’t process it. Losers. Winning. Buh bye.”
  • “I’m not fair game. I’m not a soft target. It’s over. There’s a new sheriff in town. And he has an army of assassins.”
  • “There are parts of me that are Dennis Hopper.”
  • “I don’t live in the middle anymore. That’s where you get slaughtered. That’s where you get embarrassed. From the prom queen.”
  • “The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning.”
  • “I’m not Thomas Jefferson. He was a pussy.”
  • “I dare anyone to debate me on things.”
  • “I have a disease? Bullshit. I cured it with my brain.”
  • “If you’re a part of my family, I will love you violently.”
  • “I am on a drug – it’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.”
  • “We need to hack up the person responsible for this bad connection. Hack him up into pieces in front of his children. We need to cut off his face and wear it and go on a very tightly budgeted shopping spree in stores that don’t exist yet!”

Where does the future lie for Charlie, who knows? But what i do know is that Charlie has many many more crazy quotes up his sleeve....but how much more bizarre can he actually go? Start talking about meeting with aliens? Being a female in a mans body or even being the second coming of Jesus?........who knows

St Nilus 1600 years ago.... and you predict this for now?!?!?


St Nilus was a 5th century ascetic monk who was a disciple of St John Chrysostom (a doctor of the Church). He made a prophecy (though some dispute it dates from his time) relating to the 20th century which is striking in its foresight.

After the year 1900, toward the middle of the 20th century, the people of that time will become unrecognizable. When the time for the Advent
of the Antichrist approaches, people’s minds will grow cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger. Then the world will become unrecognizable. [...] People’s appearances will change, and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their shamelessness in dress and style of hair. [...] At that time the morals and traditions of Christians and of the Church will change. People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign. Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions, and woe to those who pile up treasures. Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds and murder will rule in society. [...] At that time men will also fly through the air like birds and descend to the bottom of the sea like fish. And when they have achieved all this, these unhappy people will spend their lives in comfort without knowing, poor souls, that it is deceit of the Antichrist…

Sir James carroll..our most famous relative!!!


James Carroll (pictured standing second from the right- Richard Seddon is seated to the left with his hand on the paper) was born at Wairoa, one of eight children of Joseph Carroll, born in Sydney of Irish descent, and Tapuke, a Māori woman of the Ngāti Kahungunu tribe. He was educated both at Whare Wananga (traditional Māori college) and the Wairoa native school but left early to be a farm worker. In 1870, while no more than thirteen, he was part of the Māori force pursuing Te Kooti in the Urewera, and his bravery was mentioned in dispatches. Beginning his career as an interpreter and land agent, Carroll was elected to the Eastern Maori seat in 1887. He was Colonial Secretary (equivalent to Minister of Internal Affairs) from 1895. He was the first Māori to hold the cabinet position Native Affairs, which he held between 1899 and 1912. He was held in high regard within the Liberal Party and was acting prime minister in 1909 and 1911.
On 4 July 1881 Carroll married Heni Materoa (pictured below), which is where our family link comes from, also known as Te Huinga (1852/56?–1930) she was born at Makauri, a few miles north of Turanga (Gisborne). Her father was Mikaera Turangi of the Rongowhakaata (which is our familys hapu)tribe. Her mother was Riperata Kahutia, an influential leader of Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki.
She was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1918. Heni Materoa-Carroll died in November 1930, Sir James died 8 years prior. Sad thing is they never had any kids. Heni was my Great Great Great (give or take one Great) Aunty.
