Im married with a 19 year old daughter whom I love very much; I just wish my daughter would be drug free and realize I only tried to do my best with her; I have a good paying job; that I terribly hate. Wish I could lose weight a little more easily; I dont smoke or drink; I love to make people laugh; most people say Im very funny I guess. I still get overwhelmed with appreciation for things; and realize there are so many people who might not get the chance I get; like attending a ILLINI football game with 60,000 people;going to a NASCAR race, flying to Key West; when things gets so exciting and overwhelming I get overwhelmed and think about the less fortunate and sometimes I begin to cry. My ultimate goal would be to eliminate cigarettes in this country; its abused and overwhelming; its disgusting and very expensive. I may be cruel; but I would be saddened yes; but would NOT feel sorry for anyone who comes down with lung cancer from smoking. I think smoking is pretty disgusting; if your hooked; you need to quit. I think people who smoke have a lack of confidence problem: I can remember years ago people telling me they were going to quit when cigs reached a dollar a pack; yeah right..... I wish people would not over do it on Christmas. Why should you need one religious holiday out of the year to show someone you care for them? What about the other 364 days? What about putting a $20 bill into the Salvation Army bucket; instead of buying someone at the office a gift. Do something for the less fortunate. Thats whats its all about. I wish I could start a club or organization where parents single or married could meet once a month to kind of lean on each other; express concerns and discuss our children; parents need to vent also.
