It's all the same fucking day, man.

From the profound Goddess, Janis Joplin singing Ball and Chain live on the album, Joplin in Concert: "...I mean, if you got a cat for one day, man — I mean, if you, say, say, if you want a cat for 365 days, right — You ain't got him for 365 days, you got him for one day, man. Well I tell you that one day, man, better be your life, man. Because, you know, you can say, oh man, you can cry about the other 364, man, but you're gonna lose that one day, man, and that's all you've got. You gotta call that love, man. That's what it is, man. If you got it today you don't want it tomorrow, man, 'cause you don't need it, 'cause as a matter of fact, as we discovered in the train, tomorrow never happens, man. It's all the same fucking day, man."

I love that!! I used that line on my status once and everyone was all concerned about me. They never got the Joplin reference. I came over from Fancy - I couldnt resist a fellow Janice fan!
