6) What I despise: Liars, selfish people, and especially those who speak to me as though I owe them something.
Rambling:
If forced into circumstance where I must defend my measures… the price tag to those inquiring is high. I’m arrogant in knowing my actions are legitimate and in the interest of the populace prior my own. It's difficult for me to understand anyone's mental disposition when malevolent games are played. What gain is worth imposing misery and headache upon another? I see no place for it. My fuse is fleeting when it comes to character assassination and capriciously ill humor… particularly when cast at dusk. The few possessions important to me are the articles that solidify my organization. And when it faces hostility… my solution has no gray area. I covet the condition of impaling the source with my own hands. Diplomatic proficiency is antiquated when I’m defending grounds due to unwarranted offense.
In love with someone's wife
General: if you don't like me... don't try to befriend me. it will annoy me severely.
Business:Global Import/Export/Sourcing/RE Development Contacts.
Socially:Not as many people these days but a few who are reserved, down to earth, don't think they're better than others because they were born into money or recently came into power, and has something interesting to talk about. Not "everyone is worth knowing;" but "everyone we meet are fighting their own battles & have stories to share but be weary of those who break your heart" Be weary of those who are cheap and/or inconsiderate. For the few I'd like to meet... I want to hear their stories & spend at least a few hours in their company. =) Also be careful of those who are selfishly motivated & deceiving... HOWEVER SWEET THEY MAY SEEM. Words are cheap, those with many words are very cheap, and sweet talkers are shamelessly cheap. Often times they have some kind of sob story where they lay victim to their "generous heart." Followed by your pity they somehow become the hero of their story after paying for your meal. Try listening to those who don't limit themselves to self pity sob stories and/or words you want to hear. And most of all... listen to yourself.
there are few people in my life and thus when fallout knocks, it sharply tolls my spirit. but i've settled on believing that lost affection is by no means a loss at all. friends cannot be lost. only those who are not important are shed from our lives... similar to cutting loose sandbags in order for a hot air balloon to rise. friends support me when i've failed, pass light to my flaws, and believe i will defeat my evils. when my friends fail, i don't offend them with condolences. i gather their failure as my own. i am to blame when my friends fall short. until they succeed, i do not. i rarely welcome acquaintances let alone consider new friends... most people i know are associates. unless there is potential in sharing thoughts over quiet time... i won't belittle you by loosely referring to you as a friend. i often hear people refer to me as their friend, but they don't know my last name and further more will never share my insecurities. not to say they are not worthy of friendship... just no history or dialogue has been established to claim such esteem.
My favorite dialogue from The Notebook
"Wanna dance with me?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want to."
my favorate passage from The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
"When did you finally tell him about us?"
"After I got home."
"Was it hard?"
"Not at all. I was in love with you."
