The United States is like the guy at the party who gives cocaine to everybody and still nobody likes him. Jim Samuels
now on my 5th year of livejournaling, i've realized that these journals have a large impact on people's lives...you feel a lot closer to people who express themselves in an unabashed, unashamed way...although i see the need sometimes for friends only posts and complete journals, i for one will not have more than 1% of mine friends only and that would only be for family cases and those will be filtered to my closest friends...
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act. Swami Vivekananda
i like quotes; not always in good spirits, but i don't dwell and can no longer tolerate drama disguised as comments to my posts...anyone usually who adds me, i will add them, but if i notice as time goes on that we just don't have anything really in common, i will remove you and i wish the same of you.
I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar. Robert Brault
opinions are of course appreciated and comments as well, but there's no room in this journal or my life for bitter people who can't see both sides of the coin.

most of my interests are listed in my interests, all other inquiries, please use the AIM name because i'm on that damn thing 20 hours a day and the other 4 i'm on my way to it...
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. Samuel Johnson
loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. there's no escape. I'm God's lonely man.
my older brother contracted CLM(chronic myeloid leukemia) and found out the day before thanksgiving 2005. i set up a charity in his honor for him and his 4 children. the money raised would go towards offsetting the high cost of his chemotherapy. anything you can spare would be greatly appreciated by him and our family.
