Every one of you has heard this song, but probably none of you have any clue that there are lyrics to it. My headline is a verse from the theme song to the movie and television series "M*A*S*H". The lyrics were only ever heard in the movie and at least the final episode of the series. So here it is...(and no, I'm not considering it.)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

To be hated is cause for celebration. It means looking at you forces a hater to look upon themselves and see everything they will never be.

I have been working on my family tree off and on since I was a teenager. I would like to be able to see my grandparents, aunts and 1st cousins on my mom's side of the family back east that I haven't seen in years, and distant cousins on my dad's side that I haven't seen since I moved from PA to AZ. I would also like to eventually meet other distant cousins from both sides of the family that I have never met. Family are welcome to ask for the link to the family tree that I have posted online for my dad's side of the family. I would also like to be able to continue to add information to it, so any info is always appreciated. I don't yet have the family tree for mom's side of the family posted online. That will be forthcoming.

I'm not interested in meeting celebrities or anyone "famous". They're usually overhyped anyway. Who cares who they're dating, or cheating on; or who just went into rehab, or jail, or whathaveyou? I guess people don't have enough of a life that they have to stick their noses into the lives of celebrities too. And don't get me started on the paparazzi. A whole lot of them need a baseball bat upside their skull.

~~~

Touch my heart and you get my love,
Touch my mind and you get my interest,
Touch my soul and you get passion beyond your wildest dreams,
If you are Master enough to touch all three,
You get complete control, and I am yours forever.
