Every time I open this page, for some reason the picture of Coffee & is always on the top of the screen. I loved that place. My first day of work on Elmwood, was the same day they put the big cup on the front of the building. Now I didn't know the gentleman(owner) who lived upstairs. But I knew Nikki, she was everyone's favorite coffee slinging Granny. I liked it there so much that I had to find a drink for me, since I don't care much for coffee. Luckily for me the Chai revolution was on, and seeing that I'm not a health nut, I opted for the Milkshake. "Whipped cream?" yes. Ever since the arson, Elmwood,(to me)just isn't the same. So it seems fitting that I am leaving my Elmwood workplace. My patience has grown thin, and my hiding place has gone away. Oh well, " To everything turn, turn, turn..."

[inlink]aydenrogerscry,21[/inlink] In response to this, I simply say "People want what they cannot have", The idea of Good guys and Bad guys, could simply be put as attainable and unattainable. Girls don't want to be treated like shit, they just want the "Bad" guys to be "Good"guys. I'm sure most of us were blinded by what we considered love. Dreamed about the what ifs, just wished this person could see how wonderful we are, and how they cannot live without us. The amusing thing is, that they most likely are in the situation with someone else. Basically, IT'S NOT LOVE. We only want acceptance, validation. We walk around with blinders on, all around you there are people who are willing to validate you. To truly love you, but you'll never see them, they're like shadows and "He or She" is the Sun. The sad thing is, they will never be as "Good" as you make them out to be, never live up to the expectation. The longing is more addictive than the outcome, that's why "crushes" put things off for so long. We'd rather leave the door open a crack, than to close it or walk through. We control the longing, if we choose it'll never end. Our love is in the longing, not the one we pine for. So I say, Love yourself that's where it all starts, how can anybody love you if you don't. And love shouldn't be fought for, it should be given equally, Why should you give love and fight for some in return?

Well I was just tying a wonderful rant, I filled an entire page and I was going to continue on to another page, but when I clicked on publish I was booted. It's all gone, we'll now I'm pissed maybe I'll be back.

[inlink]metalpeter,242[/inlink] Just as a note, two of the top TD scoring Wide Receivers this year were White guys. Now the trick is finding a white Running back.

We all live in a fantasy world. Brought up on Faerie Tales and television, we actually believe that there's always a happy ending. We believe that if you try hard enough anythings possible, even in matters of the heart. No I honestly believe job wise if you try hard enough you can be pretty much anything ( rock stars and movie stars excluded ). That's why I can't watch these sappy romantic comedies, or romance movies period. They're just sentimental crap, as realistic as Hellboy. In the movie world Guy meets Girl, Girl doesn't like guy, guy spends all his time trying to win the Girl, Girl realizes she was wrong, happily ever after. Real world, Guy meets Girl, Girl doesn't like Guy, Guy spends all his time trying to win the Girl, Girl gets nervous, gets restraining order, Guy ends up bitter and alone. You can win a game, or fight for a position at work, but you cannot win something that's not out there to be won.
And how come most romantic comedies deal with infidelity. It's at the heart of all of these movies, You've Got Mail, 13 Going on 30, The Wedding Planer, My Best Friends Wedding, I could go on believe me. But in each of these movies a relationship is ended so the main characters can be happy. The irony is that women seem to love this crap! But I'm sure my wife wouldn't be to happy if I left her for "The Wedding Planner". They should make a movie based on the other persons perspective, the girl or guy who loses everything, so Julia Roberts character can be happy. They always skip over the 'victom'.
I know you're thinking " There only movies ", but there not, people tend to base the aspects of there life ( like relationships ) on what they think the other half wants. So a lot of guys (Who are desperatly trying to understand women), look to this sentimental crap for answers,for "What do women want?" but it's just fantasy. You're better off watching Monty Python to find the Holy Grail.

I don't get it, if pretending to "moon" somebody is so terribly offensive, then why show it a hundred times on the news. So the people watching the game, of course, were "visually attacked" by Moss, but now everybody has seen it. Next time I hope he really moons the crowd. Now that would be something worth paying a fine for. I mean, if you have to "do the time", you might as well "do the crime" not just pretend. So my opinion, his actions were immature, childish, rude, and over the top. I hate all this dancing and celebration anyway, but come on, people need to get over themselves, how offended could you really be.

My wife and I are very excited, we just booked our next trip to Europe. This is a diagram of our trip. I can't wait !!!

I love this show "Showtime at the Apollo". Not for the talent, but the crowd. It's such a cultural difference for me. The Black audience members are so supportive, White people will clap, and maybe give a standing ovation (at the end of the performance, first looking around to make sure everybody else is doing it), but these people are yelling," You go girl", and " Yeah, yeah", at any point they feel appropriate. I love it, I can't look away. Then you see the five or six white people in the audience, looking worried. It's a huge cultural gap, I think it's a blast, just not when I'm at the movies. The screen can't hear you, when I was little I remember seeing "Misery" at the Market Arcade, and everybody kept yelling, " Hurry she's coming back, ahhhh, go in the kitchen and get the knife !!!!" Not so amusing. So I'll keep watching the 'Appolo' because it's free.

It's friiiiiiiday, boy am I tired. So for the past three years I have worked part time as a Massage Therapist. I had recently come to the conclusion that it wasn't my 'cup of tea'. So know I work as a general Contractor, (with my parents company). The reason I'm telling you this is because for the first time in three years, I have cuts all over my hands, and I love it. Each little wound is a reminder of a job well done. Massage just gave me crippling muscle spasms and pain. But now my back feels better, and my hands are weathered. Scars are like the body's version of the Post-it. I remember where they all came from. Reminders of lessons learned ( like don't cut wood with a razor blade, age 6). It's just to bad they hurt so much.
