About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Rimersburg, Pennsylvania, United States

I am an enigma. A perfect right hand middle man living safely supported on the edge. Complicatedly simple or simply complicated, that's for you to decide. I lose the games I play & win the ones I don't. I'm not here to play games. I'm here, there, everywhere. Often I like to feel as if I'm the world. Other times I want to melt into the scenery. I see myself as a familiar stranger standing along the street as life speeds by. I like strangers & love my friends. I laugh when people fall but offer a helping hand. I hate people but love working with the public. The Constitution is wrong, all men are not created equal; they should be. I believe that not everyone has the same opportunities; it's what you do with the ones that lay before you that determine who you become. I like to walk. Running is too fast; but some roses are meant to be seen & not smelled. Time is an illusion created by man. I’ll create it for those who are willing to do the same. Your birthday is important to me & hope mine is to you. I tend to give more than I receive. Respect & appreciation are key. Conversation is a gold mine; knowledge is wealth & power. My intelligence is my most prized possession, don't insult it.

"Don't waste any time on anyone who isn't willing to waste any time on you"
This evening there was a comment posted to an entry that I posted a few days ago (Dedicated Readers) but the comment is no longer there for reasons I will now discuss. The comment posted had little to do with that particular entry nor did it have anything to do with any entry made since. I think they were trying to comment on my blog in it's entirety, however, they failed right along with their attempt to remain anonymous. The comment made was personal and was a direct attack on my moral and personal character. Here's how they failed to remain anonymous: 1.) The comment left made it clear that person knew me personally. 2.) It was left by someone who obviously felt wronged by me. 3.) My journal happens to log activity, as I have mentioned before, and tells me exactly where the reader/commenter is located at in the country, the time they arrived and departed from my journal, plus numerous other facts. Therefore, I had no trouble at all figuring out the "mystery". I will respect their wishes though and leave them anonymous, since they decided that would like to be cowardly about confronting me.

Now let me discuss the matter of subject which the "commenter" decided to mention. They apparently have decided that the only thing I do in my journal is drag other people through the muck and leave myself unscathed. Anyone who has actually taken the time to read my journal should/would know that the comment is completely unwarranted. My journal not only tells the stories of the issues that I feel others have, it also includes numerous accounts of my inadequacies and failures in a variety of areas. In some of my posts I have directly "attacked" either myself or someone else. However there are many entries that I have posted that neither make reference to myself or any other person. They are strictly posts about something and I never once said that I didn't posses those qualities. Now the fact that this person knows me personally leaves me stunned. They obviously do not know me as well as they would like to. The comment posted is merely an insult to themselves and their definition of "friend". And that's all I have to say about that.
