i never realized how many people are looking for the simplest things in life, whether it's a companion or a friend, or just someone to talk to, i'm a man of very few words, i don't have a degree in anything, i quit school in the sixth grade and went to work and i never went back, if it wasn't for comic books i would not have learned to read, i know how it sounds but that is the truth. i really hate to read now that my eyes are not what they were, i think it's mostly the glasses, i can see, but i can't read without my glasses, i know that some of you can relate, it goes without saying when you hit that certain age, things go to hell, the mirror can be your worst critic, it's like when i was in my teens i was in pretty good shape i had abbs, you might call it a sixpack, now i have just one abb "lol" it's one of the first signs of getting old, but life does go on, i'm not sure what the true meaning of life is, but i think happiness is to injoy life as best as you can, if something gets in your, way go around it, if you fall, get back up, don't let the bad things in life get you down, there are a lot of good things to help you through.
