I have got to be strong for myself and stick to it. Stop giving into temptations, stop going for the instant gratifications. I have to change who I am to be the person I want to be.

Thanks Tina, now all I have to do is make one of the motivational posters to go along with it.

Here’s a snippet from Wikipedia:
“Myers-Briggs description

Extraverted feeling types seek continuity through harmonious relationships and collective values. They excel at picking up on the tone of a situation and acting accordingly, adding warmth to a cool setting or turning sour into sweet. They naturally seek to know what people do well, what they enjoy, and where and how they work. They seem to have an infinite number of acquaintances from all walks of life and are always on the lookout for people in need and those who can help out. ENFJs weave and strengthen the collective fabric of social conventions and interactions. Inclusiveness is important and they are particularly sensitive to those who are excluded.

ENFJs focus on others, feeling a glow when those around them are happy, and troubled when something is amiss. They are natural cheerleaders, often expressing support, gratitude, and encouragement, and heaping praise onto those they appreciate. They take note of what is being done and what needs doing, offering their assistance wherever necessary.

ENFJs enjoy organizing group activities and tend to take their commitments seriously. In general, they are reliable and do not like to disappoint others. As team players and project leaders, they have a gift for rallying their players, focusing on what is being done right and each member’s strengths. They are loyal and they expect loyalty. They carry conversations well, finding common ground with their speaker. They tend to find the correct and gracious way to respond in any given situation, no matter how tense or uncomfortable it is.

Extraverted feeling types will uphold a wide range of values, simply because shared values are what create harmony. Some will profess the importance of tough-minded logic, justice and scholarly debate because their environments have these shared values. They tend to adopt the collective values of those they love and ‘belong to’.”

“Love Song by Tantric”

So here you are you’re knockin’ at my door with saddened eyes
The color is the same but there’s a change
The difference is between the little lies I’ve told
To keep a peace. You know the love was still the same

Oh it’s better in life to lose a minute
Then have to go through life and really never get to live it
Your primrose path is just an illusion
I’m sick of all your dirty lies that cause this confusion

I never wanna hear another love song
It’s all all bunch of lies and I’ve been through it all
I know its like I’m bitter, I don’t give a shit
I hope you’re really happy and you choke on it
I never wanna hear another love poem
Or claiming all your love in truth was done
I know it’s like I’m bitter, I dont give a shit
I hope you’re really happy and you choke on it

God forgive me for these random things
The little things I do, it’s really not my truth
Everything is overwhelming me, constantly deserping me
‘Til I get away from you

It’s better in life to lose a minute
Then have to go through life and really never get to live it

I never wanna hear another love song
It’s all all bunch of lies and I’ve been through it all
I know its like I’m bitter, I don’t give a shit
I hope you’re really happy and you choke on it
I never wanna hear another love poem
Or claiming all your love in truth was done
I know it’s like I’m bitter, I don’t give a shit
I hope you’re really happy and you choke on it

And I smile as you listen and you’re thinking to yourself
You’re the reason why your living in this pain

I never wanna hear another love song
It’s all all bunch of lies and I’ve been through it all
I know its like I’m bitter, I don’t give a shit
I hope you’re really happy and you choke on it
I never wanna hear another love poem
Or claiming all your love in truth was done
I know it’s like I’m bitter, I don’t give a shit
I hope you’re really happy and you choke on it

I never wanna hear another love song
It’s all all bunch of lies and I’ve been through it all
I know its like I’m bitter, I don’t give a shit
I hope you’re really happy and you choke on it
I never wanna hear another love poem
Or claiming all your love in truth was done
I know it’s like I’m bitter, I don’t give a shit
I hope you’re really happy and you choke on it
On it
On it
On it, on it, on it
I hope you choke on it

There really isn’t to much of a reason other than I have been using other means to keep up with friends. I joined Facebook at least a year ago I think and recently there has been tons of activity there that keeps me from thinking about my own site!! lol So if you want to come see what’s going on just about daily, click on over (link is on the side over there) and join up and start sharing.

For those who won’t or who want instant gratification,,,,,,Shelley and I are doing fantastic. She has meant so much to me over the past 2 months it’s indescribable. She’s brought to my life things that were missing for a very long time, and she surprises me all time with more.

I spent the majority of last month recertifying and getting ready to take some more just after the new year. I also hope to have some job news but I will hold off on that. I am looking for my second motorcycle, I think I know what kind. Now its all about finding the right price.

Rick will be down in a week to spend the holiday with all of us. I can’t wait to see him. He’s been working really hard up in Ohio and now has his own car (no, he can’t drive it just yet), he’s doing well in school. I am just really proud of what he’s done on his own this year.

Mom and Dad are in Alabama this week visiting the family down there. Mom has been having a rough time lately as a very close family friend and probably my mothers closet friend is not going to make it thru the holidays. She has cancer, and it’s to the point of just making her comfortable now.

Ray lost his job a few weeks ago so he’s working Part-time while trying to find another one. They seem to be getting by for now, but like everyone else, I hope the economy gets better soon.

All’s well with Amy, she’s still working too many hours and too many in the car going back and forth to work, lol.

It doesn’t have to be a complete paragraph, just one sentence.

Not the whole picture, just a small glimpse of something captured in it.

A memory. A smell. A taste.

That sort of thing that makes you remember. That makes you look at the what if’s.

Today someone who I call my brother became a father for the 3rd and 4th time. That’s sort of one of those things.

Yesterday I spent some special time with Shelley during a train ride thru scenic Maryland. That’s sort one of those things.

Talking to my son about his day. That’s sort of one of those things.

I like those sort of things and it’s those that I look forward to every day.
