I like to think of myself as eccentric and spontaneous, and I live for long conversation.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others: to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded. ~~~Ralph Waldo Emerson------------------------------------I feel with absolute certainty, there is no god. It's a feeling, it's faith, so don't try to argue with me because I can cop out like the rest of ya with a simple "I just FEEL it, I just KNOW it". I don't pray in times of turmoil, I don't yell at the sky, I have my head right here on top of my shoulders, cursing what lies in front of me. I'm fine with just dying and that's that. I'm a pile of carbon and electrical impulses, I'm damn lucky to have the intelligence to even question my own existence, I'm more BLESSED than most of the people you will encounter in life. Blessed, fortunate, understanding, ACCEPTING. I don't want any control over the rest of the world, just a little bit more control over my own life. -------------Benjamin Earl Waldron.
