quotes i've grown (and am growing)to live by
Some of these I've heard and now live by and some I have shaped my life in a way...that can be expressed by these quotes. I hope they are fulfilling for you all as they are for me.
"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway."- Mother Teresa
"You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly
central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a
lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose."- Jo Coudert
"Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose
the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life."
- Dr. David M. Burns
"Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be - a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger - but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.
Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.
If someone loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what they have to say.
Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.
You can make anything you wish of your life. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
And if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
Learn a lesson in life each day that you live!
Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday.
Think About it? Was it worth it?"

I've heard 2 things that just blew my mind, and not in a good way.
First, I heard about a documentray called "Guys and Dolls". It's about men........ who have relationships with those real life dolls. If anyone hasn't seen them, they are basically sex dolls, but not the blow up kind. They are made to look almost exactly like a real life women, hence "real doll". Now, I don't understand people buying them to have sex with them, they cost thousands of dollars and for heaven sake, you just cant subsitute the real thing, it's just to good. However, at the same time I can understand why some people buy them (look at me, not making any since as usual). But........what the heck would drive a man to actually have a relationship with one and feel perfectly natural about it???? Some dude was sayin how he takes it out on dates and how he's upset with his dad for not accepting "her" (because it's the love of his life). This just .......it's strang and sad and all sorts of other things.
Second, I'm sure you've all heard about this Miss America stuff goin on. If you haven't, let me catch you up. Miss California said in her speech "In my country, marriage is between a man and woman". Yes, i'm sure she meant state lol, because she mentioned how prop 8 passed and all that. But, that's not my point, I am a firm believer that every body is entitled to their own opinions. And if you dont agree, you just respectfully disagree (unless it's football or basketball season, in that case GO COWBOYS AND SPURS!!!!!). Guess who one of the judges was, that little wanker Perez Hilton. Now, if somebody said a statement like that and I was a homosexual, I would not like it nor agree, but I'd give you MAD respect for keepin it real, and hold true to your believes. But not Perez. Ever since then, he's been posting blogs and such, calling her a dumb bitch abd other disrespectful things. Not saying "I respectfully disagree". Even if you dont agree with Miss Cali, you gotta have respect for her for that. And on top of that, no respect for Perez because of the way he is reasponding to this. Who the heck made this dude a judge in the first place?????

I HATE IT!!! (part 1 lol)
I hate Hate HATE!!!!
1) Outsourcing- it disgusts me so much and plus...those are jobs we need out here doggonit!!!!
2) Men (most of them at least) - It's because men are shit and are becoming progressively worse everyday.
3) Women (again, most of them) - It's you women LET me be shit and accept them as shit instead of puttin your foot down and not letting the shit stink up your lives. You are all queens, why choose somebody that treats you like a peasant.
4) Infomercials - they love to make the most easiest and simplest task seem extraordinarily difficult just so you wast money on their piece of crap product.

Thoughts
so many thoughts running through my head
to many thoughts as I lay in my bed
mind grows full no need to be feed
no thoughts good, thank god I ain't dead
Bad news cometh and bad new grow
Visions of truth is you you must show
Realization comes and now I know
Heart turns cold like the white snow
Drive in the silence to sort out my mind
speed down the street like a felon in a bind
Maybe tomorrow I'll open my eyes and see
dawn of a beautiful day, woe is me
to many thoughts as I lay in my bed
mind grows full no need to be feed
no thoughts good, thank god I ain't dead
Bad news cometh and bad new grow
Visions of truth is you you must show
Realization comes and now I know
Heart turns cold like the white snow
Drive in the silence to sort out my mind
speed down the street like a felon in a bind
Maybe tomorrow I'll open my eyes and see
dawn of a beautiful day, woe is me
