I think it's really important to tell people when they have done good things...to let them know you noticed and appreciate it. Tell they look nice today....whatever. I am not great at remembering to do it, but I believe in it and I noticed that most people don't expect it any more than I did. I had ONE boss tell me after working my ass off on a proposal, stop me before I left the gig call me back into the door and tell me I did a good job. He knew I had never done one before. I FELT that. His name was Mr. Coffey. It made an impression on me. There was nothing hard about it at all.... I just realized how much I love great guitar players. Probably seems obvious to you. HA. Not me. The obvious is never obvious to me when it's about me. I have my degree in Criminal Justice (AS) and my AA. Wow the time would have gone by anyway...glad I did something with it. I'm continuing on for my Bachelors - probably in Sociology. YAWN. I am a huge ArcGIS fan, but I'm not very good at it. WE NEED it though. Bad. Change never comes without a struggle...like fingerprints and DNA. I have no idea what I'm going to do with this degree in the end:) Just like everybody, I want to make something better.Been an activist for about 10 years - prison issues, death penalty. I am an abolishionist, not an idiot. I'm a big fan of LWOP for those that should be there. Never forget the victims. Just try not to make any more of them by wrongful convictions....that's what I believe. (Yeah, I know, everyone is innocent haha....)-----------------------Karen Torley is a dynamic woman, and my very dear friend. Check out her site www.torley.org. She gets things done. ----------------------------------------------------------- I've got 3 kids. My oldest son Will just got married to a lovely woman named Eve. They live in NYC. I anticipate that they will have a long and blessed life together. My daughter is the most beautiful, funny, creative, talented, sweet and loyal person who is so fun to laugh with, she lights up the room. What an eye with a camera too. Man. She hates me at the moment and I think thats probably normal. She's 16. Hope she gets over it soon because I miss her. My sweet Sam. A wonderful smart person who is a great skateboarder who still brings me cake cut into a heart. He's also an artist and sees beyond what he appears to see. Does that make sense? I think so. I love them all. Unfortunately they all believe that bad things only happen to stupid people. Unfortunately they will figure it out. When all else is torn away, who will stand by your side? That is the person that knows what love really is. That is the one who knows the depth of it. I don't know any other way to learn it. Life has a way of teaching you that lesson one way or another. _________________________________________________________ I first heard Richard Thompson doing "Two Left Feet" on a Disney Music Video:) It was set to an old cartoon about a hen and her boyfriend. A big burly rooster wanted her and tried to take her away from him, and she got twirled around alot in a boxing ring:)Sweetest cartoon lol...and I found Richard Thompson. Here is an early video of "Wall of Death" which is one of my favorites. He is arguably one of the best guitarists/songwriters around and I love him.Before I die I want to go to Africa. I want to dance there and not get killed while I'm visiting. God, can you still go to Africa and just love it and not fear that? Here's another song I love...even though it has to do with lions, it's really alot more than that. There are good lions and there are bad lions. Both are everywhere aren't they. :) I created my layout at KillerKiwi.net
