Love and Thanks

?
IF you get time this week-end read this and reflect but don't rush it.


One of my Mothers' "LifeLongers" (people you've spent their entire careers at IBM) sent her this-i usually delete things from my mother (sorry mom) but this one idk i just didnt.

Recently i've been thinking about life and how lucky I am to have moved to Berywn. I can't imagine meeting in my life a better more genuine group of people and such a unique set of individuals. Christian, Pearce, Brisco, Kerry, Hanna, Mich, Jake, Chase, Curt, Diego, Andrea, Amy, Davey, Becca ("if i forgot you, i don't hate you, that just my human nature you dig")-- I'd like to think that is us dancing and partying in that picture below..only they need a few more minorities in that pic eh?


Berwyn thanks for last night and every night. I love you guys.

and to my Diamonds across the country sTs, JR, FOX, BRY, The Stews(now one Foster :-P), B Led, JHS, RR, LAW, HC, Nate Dogg and Abster-i Really miss you guys-we should all try and meet in Athens for the first GA game this year-mini-reunion of sorts.

LOVE





The Charles Schulz Philosophy!



The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the?
'Peanuts' comic strip.


You don't have to actually answer the questions.


Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.


1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.


2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.


3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.


4. Name ten people who have won ?the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.


5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and
actress.


6. ?Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.?





How did you do?


The point is , none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.


These are no second-rate achievers.


They are the best in their fields.


But the applause dies..


Awards tarnish.


Achievements are forgotten.


Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.





Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:


1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.


2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult ?time.


3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.


4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special!!


5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.





Easier?

The lesson:


The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials..
the most money...or the most awards.


They simply are the ones who care the most.





Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life, like I did.


'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia!'




''Be Yourself. Everyone Else Is Taken!"

Pink :: Sober

?

I'm not a huge fan of Pink but after hearing this song everyday for two weeks (thanks elliot and shay) i'll have to say i've grown not only to understand the song, but to sympathies with its strong and enduring lyrics.

I can't get the youtube post up, but here is the link to the video
and here are the lyrics

Some people...

?
I heard from an Ex-"friend" this week. We were bf's until she picked her abusive boyfriend over me. For the first two days i was crushed. By day three i was over it. I realized it was her damn problem not mine. We all have issues but not all of us are mature enough or ready to admit them. And i'm a good friend, i know this because i have a lot of them... in person, i'm not talking about the "pierce queer kids in cyber space"
So when i talked (facebooked) to my Ex-BF this week, i cracked a joke, and she came back at me with "Ouch, i'm sensitive. . . D.C. has hardened you" Ha, well maybe, but last time i checked i've always been borderline apathetic.

SO this week i also let go of a "friend" i use the word loosely because i feel like people who can just toss people out of their lives nonchalantly were never friends, just parasites, manipulative or lonely and when i happened to be there. Its funny, because i went thru the same emotions i went thru when i lost X. I was Crushed, probably worse then a break up CRUSHED, for maybe 24 hours. Then i had the Eureka moment. When i become friends with people i shouldn't look at them, i should look at the people currently around them....or not around them. They say the same is true with you start dating someone. You should examine how their last break up began and ended. Same is true with potential friends. How many true friends do they currently have, how do they meet other people, how many relationships do they retain from their past.
Its like an equation: if someone has ex's how many? and if someone went to college, how many friends do they retain? divided the two numbers, that is the percentage or likely hood that y'alls friendship will work. Ok so i bullshited that.....BUT SEE i'll admit when i fuck up! Others cannot or have a hard time admitting, like when one talks about their "standards," and "credibility." But in all realness lack both (this based on their past "relationships.") I can feel bad for them, give them their space, but in time i learn to just forgive and forget about it. Some people are insecure...and again some of us are not mature enough or ready to admit them.
And i need to Do Me right now so i can't worry about it right now. I know i'm a good friend, if one fails too appreciate it then que chu-cha! I learned that one in college, its slang for "WHATEVER." but don't say it around someone from Peru, Columbia or uhhh i forget the other country.....

Some people are just plain dumb asses. JOHN MCCAIN. don't get me wrong, i def voted for the old man in the primary, even had the sticker on my car, But this BS about "oh well i'm going to stop campaigning because the country is in a financial crises" WTF? Dude, we are under 50 days, the country is not going to change with the senate offering a buyout. And MCCAIN where were you when all this crap was going down? McCain almost NEVER voted while senator, (i'll find this record online, because right now i only have it in hard copy) but you think it matters that now you give a fuck? Old man, you've lost it! FIrst Palin then this, i respect you a lot, but i'm not gonna stand for any more bullshit. If McCain was not running for president he wouldn't give two flipps! Six weeks left...Canada here i come?



like always i didn't proofread!
hey i'm sick!
