The Amazing Race

If you have preconceived notions of how things should be or how people ought to behave, I will probably irritate you. If you are truly open-minded, you will fall in love with me.

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the trouble makers. The round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or villify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them, because they change things, they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, I see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do."
