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.

The Little Things

"We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them." ~Abigail Adams

"You ask me why I do not write something....I think one's feelings waste themselves in words, they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results." ~Florence Nightingale

Since my car accident, it's has been becoming more apparent to me who is and isn't concerned with my health and well being. It's not only about the words they've spoken but also the actions they've taken. The moves they've made. What happened in making sure that I was ok? What happened to checking up on me? Helping me? Comforting me? It's ok, though. It's ok. If you have any interest in knowing about the accident and how a boy almost died... call.

People keep asking why I don't post much anymore... well the truth is I feel that my words are becoming more empty with each post but mainly because I feel they are "falling on deaf ears". People aren't reading it anymore and few of those who do read actually care about what it says.

I have a personal motto (ok, so I have a lot of them, lol). Three words: KNOW. CARE. ACT. Knowledge is power, and in that strength a person has the ability to make change but first they must care. You have to care about the matter at hand in order to make a positive change that would be worth while but that can only happen after you act.


A question and food for thought:

Should the countries of the world initiate a population control effort by limiting the number of children a family can have? A limit of 2. Why? Why not? My answer to this is: YES. I'll give my reasoning in my next post.

It all depends on why we blog. Are we blogging for ourselves, or for others? It's difficult not to be affected by a lack of readership.

Why do I go on blogging then? I have no idea ... maybe I myself will stop blogging one day ... I guess it's because I love to write ...
