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.

Forgotten Post

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want. ~Ben Stein
You hear it often: "Birth is a beautiful thing" or even "Life is a beautiful thing". Many people believe that life is this grand journey on which we embark at birth. The moment we arrive into the world we begin this fateful and magical adventure otherwise called living. An adventurous journey that requires careful planning and an itinerary full of goals and achievements. They believe that storms faced along the 'trip' are just speed bumps predestined to happen to everyone and that they mean little or nothing in the grand scheme of things. Hogwash.

Life is nothing more than a a series of events, whether fortunate or not, that make us who we are. Pure chaos and confusion. There is no magical journey on which to joyfully embark on. We are constantly reminded that we are mere mortals facing our impending deaths at some point. So we fight and struggle to acheive remembrences in time and space.
