what an interesting turn of words. it is such an intriguing paradox (balance?) between taking charge – “i need to learn” – and going with the flow – “to be found.”

if you were in a session with me, i’d say, “oh! tell me more!”

Honestly dude, I want to know! There is so much crap on the net. That in and of its self is not bothersome, but the fact that the majority of these people take it seriously. They really think that they make a difference, that people care, that people enjoy their crap, that they are smart. That irks me to no end; people pretending to be smart. Even though they don't know they are pretending, they think they are smart, it still pretending.<br/><br/>And yet, I can't help but look. It's like watching a train wreck; you don't want to look but you really want to see it. AT first I figured it was so I could inflate my ego. A little of "God I am so much better than this. HaHa HaHa." But it isn't, this I know. When I read the crap I read I am infuriated with this person. As if they purposely set out to write bad and ensnare me with that bad writing. Like they knew I would be drawn to it. Other times I think it's because it will make me write better. Seeing what you are not to do never makes a person better. I realize that that is just me rationalizing the wasting of my time. So, again I get furious because I was trapped again by crappy writing, these people are sick and twisted to do this to me.<br/><br/>I guess it's like popcorn. I just can't stop. I think I need to find better writing, but that is almost a herculean task! Why do people take themselves so seriously? Honestly dude, I want to know! There is so much crap on the net.

As long as you have friends you can't be lonely. And you do have friends, genuine and sincere friends that care about you.<br/><br/>Secondly:<br/>If someone cannot find the value in you it is not your fault. If the world were to stop appreciating the statue of David would it be any less valuable? So, don't change because a bunch of babies seem to think you worthless!!<br/><br/>Thirdly:<br/>I don't like it when you get this way, it's not healthy. Take a walk, go for a drive, read some Greek, do something.<br/><br/>Fourthly:<br/>Valentines day is an invention of the card industry and the feminist movement to make us men feel insignificant. Don't give in to this estrogen fest! Why do we need a day to celebrate love? Aren't we supposed to do that every day?! To start:
