Robert Thatcher
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
About Me
..
Myspace Countdown or Myspace LayoutsMy name is Robert. I was born on January 9, 1971 in Anacortes, WA. I am 38, and presently back in the ATL. I have been coaching youth softball for the last three seasons. Although I have loved the game and passing on my passion and knowledge to the next generation. I know that my time coaching has come to an end...at least where I have been coaching now. But you never know where I may turn up next.
Being a military brat and also having served briefly in the Army, I have had the pleasure of traveling this great nation. I have been as far west as Hawaii and as far east as Italy. I have been in every state in the US except for Alaska, Maine and Rhode Island.
By the time I was 15 years old I had lost my father, my brother, and one of my sisters. So to say that family is very important to me is an understatement. My dad raised me to be "old school". I have strong family values and a strong work ethic.
I have three nieces and one nephew from my sister, and I have "adopted" two other nieces and another nephew from a lifetime friend of 30 years.
I have more female friends than male friends because I was raised to treat a lady like a lady. I have been told that I am kind, considerate, a good listener, easy to get along with, and that I have a BIG heart (granted I wear my heart on my sleeve far more than I should...but so be it).
I will not stand for a man to hit a woman or to beat a kid, and I have stepped in on both occasions. Once in protection of a friend and once in regards to a kid that one of my ex-girlfriend's kid baby sat for.
Anymore, people are quick to judge someone based on how they dress, the type of people they hang out with, or the type of job they have. I do NOT judge people, because what it all comes down to is...we are all trying to make a living the best way we can. Some of us put on a suit and tie and work 9 to 5, and the rest of us don't. Take the time to get to know someone for who they really are, not WHAT THEY DO OR HOW THEY DRESS.
A quick note to all my friends out there: THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, 'cause without friends what is the point of living. Friends are there to celebrate with you during your highs and there to support you during your lows... so thank you.
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season!
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
Who I'd Like to Meet
Who actually reads these sections...I do. A picture can only tell you what a person looks like, but if you want to really get to know the person take the time and read what they have to say. A picture will show you their outer beauty, but their words will show you a part of their inner beauty.
I would like to meet any fun loving people who know what they want and aren't afraid to go after it. Someone who isn't afraid to laugh and afraid to cry. A person who can let down their guards and just be themselves. The only way for someone to be TRULY loved is to show their flaws and be appreciated despite them.
I also would have liked to have met Elvis Presley in his younger days. I would love to meet Jessica Simpson, Lisa Marie Varon (Victoria from WWE), and Traci Brooks.
I love all aspects of the female body, from head to toe, but if you really want to get to me then it is all in the look. To me the eyes and the smile are the most beautiful and revealing. I love a woman who has mysterious, yet inviting eyes and a smile that can light up the darkest room.
How do I choose my friends on MySpace? It is simple really. If I request/add you, it means that I liked what you had to say in your profile (yes, I do take the time to read what you write) or there was something in your look. Something I saw in your eyes or your smile that intrigued me.
Interests
GENERAL: What it all boils down to is...FAMILY FIRST. I don't have any kids of my own...yet, but my nieces and nephews keep me quite busy. I love playing baseball and spending time with ALL of my nieces and nephews...blood and adopted.
MUSIC: I like listening to any kind of music, as apparent in my music list below, except for opera and the new heavy metal. Take a minute and scroll through it. I know you will find many that bring back memories. WHAT CAN I SAY? I GUESS I'M A "HOPEFUL" ROMANTIC. I was raised on Classic Rock, and the rest of the “Oldies†like Elvis, The Temptations, Bob Seger, etc. I like listening to the ‘80’s. Those songs always bring back a lot of great memories...Friday night football games, cruising the strip, all night parties, and even school dances (did I just say that?). I have always liked listening to Bob Marley though. I could listen to him anytime of the day…morning, noon, or night.
MOVIES: I'm a big movie buff. I am known as my family and friends movie critic. I like almost all genres…classic, western, sci-fi, action, thriller, drama, comedy, horror. You name it & I’ll watch just about anything…if it can hold my interest. If it can’t peak my interest within the first 20 minutes I won’t bother with the rest of it. I have a collection of movies that I'm working on getting in the neighborhood of 2500+ movies.
Below are my tributes to the beautiful women of professional wrestling. It is a chance to get to know the "real" women, in and out of the ring. So, sit back and enjoy.
TELEVISION: I don't really watch a lot of television. The only shows I might catch on a regular basis would be...Wrestling & Smallville, when softball season doesn't interfere. Eddie Guerrero…The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be...PERIOD (R.I.P. October 9,1967 – November 13, 2005).
A tribute to the late, great Eddie Guerrero. Some of the videos have the same footage, but the songs are what help tell the story.
BOOKS: The Bible, and anything else that can help me to be a better softball coach. I am more of a magazine person. I love looking at home magazines (to get ideas for the house I am designing), and any other creative magazines…trucks, cars, etc.
HEROES: My dad was my hero. He raised me to be "Old School." He taught me my strong work ethic and my strong family values. He was my hero, my mentor, my shining light.

Friends & Comments
I DO NOT ADD FRIENDS JUST TO COLLECT THEM, I ADD FRIENDS TO CREATE A RELATIONSHIP. Friendship is important to me and it is not something I take lightly. If you are already a friend...stay in touch. If not, and you would like to be...ADD ME, and I look forward to getting to know you better.
