I have responsibilities, pay my bills, and am broke all the effin time! I live in Natomas and very soon will live in Antelope with my pups Makoto and Kiyoko and maybe my boyfriend. I am who I am, I change for no one. I love Saturday morning cartoons going to the zoo, picking up stray animals, popsicles, and candy. Others personal opinions of me dont matter mostly because personal opions are like assholes everyones got'em, the only opinions that matter are those of my family and that of my very close friends. I can only hold my tongue for so long and my temper isnt as short as it used to be. I go out every once in a while, in other words, I am a homebody and wouldnt have it any other way, I have my shows that need to be watched! although I have been introduced to the wonders of the DVR. In the summers you can find me either rafting on the American River or at Folsom Lake, I like to have fun and that doesnt mean that I have to drink in order to have it. Im here to keep in touch with my friends.
"You can understand the facts of life. But facts of love are much different. To love you love someone or someone loves you.. But when you both love each other you're in love with one another. First become friends and let it go. Then get serious and get together. Just make yourself known as a person not as someone you don't want to be known as..."---Unknown
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.George Carlin
"OK, so what about love? If "in love" fades, what takes its place?
True love, of course. But what is that? Let me define it by example. True love is what you have with your best friend, or with a mentor, or parent. True love is what enables someone to tell you the truth, and you are willing to listen to it, even if it is painful. True love is what keeps a friend caring for another who is very sick. True love is why a parent puts up with some things kids do.
In short, being "in love" is about how the other person makes you feel. True love is about how you want to make the other person feel. One is selfish, the other is sharing.
The key is that true love is a choice, not a feeling. You make a commitment and keep it? That's true love. If you hate onions, hate touching onions, hate the smell of onions, but make onion rings for your spouse because that's the favorite snack food, that's true love."~~Unknown~~
