In life there some who have an intent on making great impressions and hoping that they can catch that beautiful strangers eye as we move past them on the street, car, train or shopping mall; thus they may go out of their way to draw attention to themselves. It is a primal desire bred into all of the males of most species, the mating dance as it is ( Read more... )

So many families are filled with tension as there seems to be clashes of opinion and behavior that could have been much easier had there been more attention paid by parents to parents. We see all the reports, the laws, the sanctions, books and shows about what is wrong with society. We allow society to pass laws that are making it easier for people ( Read more... )

So why is living an exemplary life important? Look at your kids, for me having daughters that I am raising this is very emotional and a little unsettling; imagine them grown up and as adults having a life of their own. All that you have to do now is imagine your child bringing home a possible spouse for you too meet for the very first time; this is ( Read more... )

So often we tend to guess how a person feels by trying to analyze their situation and put ourselves into it; however when many people do this "walking in their shoes" they tend to not really become that person. If fact, when you really think about it, most people can never truly know how another feels because they have not been through exactly all ( Read more... )

So I made the gesture to nudge a good friend to post something in her journal, it was very well received (again she is a good friend after all) and what do I do? well I stop posting for a week myself.

I got to watch my beloved Oakland Raiders get handled again in a game tonight; painful it was because it was the hated Denver Donkeys doing it. Rivalries are great and so fierce I often refer to Sunday mornings when I have to watch the Broncos, Charger and Chiefs playing each other as "mornings from Hell". I mean how long can you continue to yell ( Read more... )

Everyone has needs and wants it is basic nature whether we talk about cars, food, clothes and companionship. It is personal to us and different for every individual for while we all need food, we don’t all want sushi. It is this ‘fingerprint’ of wants vs. needs that sets us all apart and makes for some wonderful and lively discussion between ( Read more... )

I often listen to music, and lately this song has really been a favorite. Perhaps it is the rythm of the chords on the guitar, or maybe the tempo, and of course perhaps just the mood and melancholy of it.
Thank you Goo Goo Dolls !

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose

We often look around our day to day world and realize how much better it would be if things were simpler; if that we could take our universe's clock and wind it back a few years or more. This longing for a simplified life can be driven by stress of work, or kids or society, for many of us single people the intricacy of modern dating are factors too ( Read more... )

Well we did make the playoffs, as we finished tied with two other teams that we had beaten earlier and so they were out and we were in. Now all we had to show up and play our asses off cause we could beat any of the other three other teams. But ah it is so nice to hope.

Though we lost the first game (quite handily I must say) there were positives ( Read more... )
