So now I'm
wondering what, if anything, is on these pages that may drag my butt into
some dumbass court. I took particular care to avoid poking at the sleeping
giants in LaLa Land and still have some reason for my surfin' friends to
come back now & then. Perhaps it's the ol' Italian thingie...you know, the
hospitality streak we all grew up with. We were taught about sharing and
never letting anyone leave our place with nothing...also never go to someone
else's place empty-handed. Basically, that is the main reason for me to
spend as much time as I do creating and editing these pages. It's the
sharing. What the hell good is it to have stuff that you can't share with
someone else? It has next to no value to me whatsoever. The attraction of
the internet is that it's a free-for-all....a place where there's something
going on all the time...the all-night party...."Vegas" in your living room.
Everyone's garage sale. 24/7 library. So cool.
I might add here that my wavin' friends should not feel abandoned; there is
more than one way to skin...oh never mind. Just visit my library and pick up
the book about sounds. Download it an you'll see something familiar.
Onward & upward.....
While I'm thinking of it, I wanted to ask a question...maybe it's lame but,
what is this about the web site "awards" I see on so many personal sites.
Apparently these webmasters have a collection or two of these so-called
awards bestowed on them (I assume they are awarded, who knows if they just
put 'em on their awards pages themselves) and they paste 'em into some of
their pages....some of 'em have dozens. Then, I see they have their own
"awards" that they bestow on others....a sort of trade I guess,
"....you award me and I'll award you...". And anyways, these awards
don't benefit the webmasters, like with something monetary or anything so
why would anyone care? And it seems to me that every web site is different,
like people, and it seems kind of silly to make an award with no reasonable
explanation...like "Easiest to Navigate" or...."Best Color Combination"....geez
these awards are for nuthin' friggin at all. Okay, that's enough of that
gripe.
Here's another pet peeve of mine....the inspirational chain letter/email.
You know, the one that requires you to "pass it on to all your friends" or
else one would assume you don't really appreciate your friends. This one is
almost as bad as the penis enlargement letters that flood mine and everyone
else's mailboxes all over the world. First of all I am wondering how many
bozos out there really believe their penises can be enlarged and that there
is anyone other than themselves that feel it might be necessary. But I
digress.
The same people send me the same letters too many times and I keep deleting
them; you'd think they would get the friggin' message when their letters
don't come back at them. I value their friendship, not their junk mail, I
have enough of my own, thank you very much. Who thinks up these things and
for God's sake, why? Show your appreciation for your fellow man by doing
something for someone anonymously. I love the new phrase "pay forward"
instead of pay back. Be first on your block.
That's all the venting for
now...don't wanna wear out my welcome so soon. If there is some issue or
subject you think should be addressed here, send your ideas along and I'll
mull them over...K?

Quotes:
"You Learn" -by R.
Shoftstall
--After awhile you learn the
subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul
--And you learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises
--And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes
ahead with the grace of an adult not the grief of a child
--And you learn to build all your roads today because tomorrow's ground is
too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid
flight
--After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you ask too much so
you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting
for someone to bring you flowers
--And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and
you really do have worth
--And you learn and you learn with every goodbye
you learn.....

This is the ultimate verse Taken from “Oriah Mountain Dreamer"....
"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you
ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing. I want
to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dreams for
the adventure of being alive. I want to know if you have touched the
center of your own sorrow... I want to know if you can disappoint another
to be true to yourself if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not
betray your own soul. I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is
not pretty every day. I want to know if you can live with failure. I want
to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink
back. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls
away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly
like the company you keep". |
