If I'd the knack I'd sing like cherry flakes falling. -basho I've run for many years of my life. I value honesty and being able to have a plan for yourself, and the ability to achieve that goal. savvy, tact, and cl<---- i'm working on it :) LIFE PHILOSOPHY: EVERYBODY WANG CHUNG TONIGHT two quotes i've been thinking about lately: "A pessimist turns their opportunities into hardships. An optimist turns their hardships into opportunities." "An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered." - Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) I give my friends a lot of trouble and they give it right back. We keep each other honest :) I believe having principals, ms, some sort of a goal is immensely useful. If you don't have an idea of where you're going you'll probably end up somewhere you don't like! People can, have, and will continue to hurt each other. I think that everyone pretty much goes through the same bull- everyday day, except with different names and places. I give people i've just met a certain amount of respect simply for that fact. Feel free to get ahold of me for any reason at all--- I love a good conversation. :) good luck in everything you do.
