Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Love the ones who don't just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Kiss slowly and Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy. He just promised it would be worth it.
.. ..You probably already know my name is Jamie Theiben. I have three, yes three... AWESOME children, which sometimes I wonder how I was Blessed with. I often move around waaaaay too much... so I guess you could say I am a gypsy at heart. I am also mild mannered and laid back, I like to take life at a slow pace. I am very consistent - both in emotions and actions and I tend to absorb set backs easily. It is difficult to offend me. If need be, I can remain composed and unemotional. But truely, I am a great friend. I don't demand much of others... But, while I am quiet, I have a subtle wit that my friends know well and I tend to be kinda shy when you first meet me. I am positive, tough, non phobic, and self reliant. The saying "You want some thing done right... Just do it yourself." That's me. I like to think that I have high self control, most of the time... Ummm, I am adventurous, practical, thoughtful and a complete romantic. My intellect is strongly analytical, which really gives me a great ability to see both sides of a question. My intelligence may very well be used to control and unify the duality of my nature into the most efficient unit. Like a child I am lively, and happy. I take up new activities enthusiastically. But I constantly change interests, flitting from project to project as apparently as purposelessly as a butterfly dancing from flower to flower. -Smiles- My good qualities are attractive and come easily to me. In my better moments I strive to be honest and straightforward. I am very adaptable. Adjusting myself to control the world around me by means of inherent ingenuity and cleverness, but if the conditions of life become really adverse, my strength of will may desert me entirely. Even at my worst I am never dull, there is usually a playfulness below the surface, and sometimes I am a brilliant conversationalist. -Smiles- I am vitally interested in what's new and fashionable, though I have a healthy skepticism which allows me to see both sides of the image. I am not really a party animal. I mostly like to sit back and set up the whole "gathering". -Smiles- If the occasion calls for it though, I can go from 0 to 60 in a split second... But I don't harness this energy unless I truly need to. And because of this, people are often surprised by what I am capable of. I have excellent powers of observation which make me a good raconteur, although I have a tendency to exaggerate, which gets me into trouble. When I was young, I was chameleon-like in my ability to blend in with my environment. But now a days, I love to keep in touch with my friends, neighbors and indeed anyone who is on my wavelength. I love adventure. I love discovering new people and places, and am stimulated by interesting cultural differences. I am an exciting companion. So in return, I crave alot of excitement and variety. -Grins- Truth be known, the way to my heart is through my head. For my inclination is to express my emotions in words, filtering my feelings through intellect. Some call this shallow. I prefer to call it intelligent. And guess what? Others do not always understand or appreciate my emotional viewpoint. I tend to operate from the heart, not the head. As others would like to believe. So, I strive to center my personal goals to gain a new perspective on things. I am sensitive to the world around me and it's likely to be the first thing that you will notice when you encounter me. My mood is apt to be expansive and upbeat. And I have noticed people feel very comfortable and very much at home with me. My inner beauty is quite unique and wonderful, because I am certainly No Ordinary Individual. I emit a kind of exciting energy that people seem to be drawn to. However, some... just see me as jovial and too light-hearted. I also, really like to spend time with people who can truly hold their own in conversations and I feel strongly connected to people who are full of ambition. They help me feel grounded. But really... I love living a slow, fulfilling life. I enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary. I am a person of reflection and meditation. I start and end every day by looking inward. I am a gentle soul, with good intentions toward everyone. Selfless and kind, I have great faith in people. Which sometimes this faith can lead to disappoinment in the long run. No matter what, I try to deal with everything in a calm and balanced way. I am a good interpreter, very sensitive, intuitive, caring, and gentle. Concerned about the world around me, I am good at predicting people's feelings. I am a seeker of wisdom and truth. A life long learner... looking for purpose and meaning. I am straight forward, but I keep a lot inside. I try to always be tactful and diplomatic and I also try to let people down gently. I am very emotionally stable and mentally together. Only the Greatest setbacks upset me, and I tend to bounce back pretty quickly. Overall, I am typically calm and relaxed. I am moderately organized, hard working, and reliable while still remaining flexible, efficient, and fun. I also have got a creative way of looking at the world which gives me a unique approach to solving problems, at home and at work. I am, at times, overly talkative. I am outgoing, and sociable, but I am also a home body. I am one-of-a-kind, that's for sure... My friends sometimes question my choices in everything from what I wear to where I live, but they are likely admire my willingness to experience all that life has to offer. And you can bet, my offbeat opinions and adventurous spirit makes me a compelling character to pal around with. -winks-
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "Woo hoo! What a ride!"
