~Kahlil GibranI am no one special, just a common man with common thoughts. I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but in one respect I've succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I've loved another with all my heart and soul and for me thats always been enough.My Dearest Allie,I couldn't sleep last night because I know that its over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know what we had was real and if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent a summer beneath trees learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds and that's what you've given me and thats what I'd hoped to give to you forever. I love you and I'll be seeing you, Noah.~Noah CalhounHello, I'm looking for my wife. Alright, if this is where it has happen, then this is where it has to happen. I'm not letting you get rid of me, how about that? This used to be my specialty. I was good in the living room. Send me in there and I'll do it alone and now I just... I don't know... but on what was supposed to be the happiest night of my business life, it wasn't complete, wasn't nearly closet to being in the same vicinity of complete, because I couldn't share it with you. I couldn't hear your voice, or laugh about it with you. I missed my wife. We live in a cynical world and we work in a business of tough competitors...I love you....You complete me. Aw shut up, you had me at hello, you had me at hello.
I'd like to meet:

You just can't beat watching a timeless classic like... Old School. Your my boy BLUE!!! I love so many movies. I probably have a DVD collection over 200 now and it's growing everyday, Best Buy I can always count you to be there for me. I especially love the movie The Notebook, SHUT UP asses, I do. I can nearly quote the entire movie by heart. No I'm not gay, but I am getting way to feminine for my own good. I just love to watch movies. I think if I could do anything in this world other than what I'm doing now, I would be a Movie Director. Forget starring in them, I have too much vision to be an actor.
