You are The Lovers

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.

The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.

Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

If anyone wants my YIM or AIM, message me.

Please!!! I'm not interested in your porn site, or your webcam. if you want to be my friend just to have someone else on your list that you never talk to i'm not your guy! I am however very approachable, and most likely if we've talked a few times, i'll add you.

I'm very outgoing. I can talk to just about anyone. I have been to 40 states, Canada, Japan, and Korea. I enjoy good conversation, or catching a buzz and watching some goofy movie. I like Amber Bock beer, but i'm not a picky eater or drinker. I have my labrea and my tongue pierced I'm opinionated, but not so much that i'm closed minded. I just want to know why you think your idea is better than mine. A good heated debate among close friends is great fun for me. It challenges the mind, and strenghthens your friendships. My Military experience was a positive one. I would do it again a hundred times. I am very liberal about some things, but when it comes to the Military, I am not. I have a four year old Son named Dexter, and a two year old Daughter named Emma, and I love being a Dad. I was a band geek in high school. I was in jazz band, marching band, symphonic band, pep band, and orchestra. I played trumpet, baritone and tuba. It was awesome. Oh yeah. I really can't stand racists. Or any other kind of narrow mindedness for that matter.
