HOLIDAY TIME

I love this time of the year! Holidays get me in a good mood, and I love being able to see my family. The only things that botehr me are the shopping, eating too much, and the fact the the fun goes by way too fast because Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years' are too close together.

A TALE OF 2 FRIENDS, OR "SUCH IS LIFE"

The past week has been a mixed bag or emotions for 2 of my friends, who will remain unnamed to protect their privacy. One found out a couple days ago that she's pregnant, the other was 5 months pregnant and expecting twins and had a miscarriage. Joy and Sadness, just goes to prove the point that there are equal and opposite forces at play in life.

A NEW FRIEND

I have met a new friend in my chat experience. Her name is Kat Williams. She is a truly nice person, and I'm glad that she's my friend. We talk all the time, and even as we speak, I'm getting ready to get offline, because she's supposed to call me in a few minutes. She has told me that apart from her boyfriend, that I am her best friend! Thank you Lord for putting such a wonderful person in my life!!:)

AND EVERYONE WONDERS WHY I'M SHY

As many of you know, I'm very shy. Most of it is because of having to put up with people making fun of me because of my weight. The worst putdown I ever had to endure happened when I was 10 or 12. A friend of my Mom's had came to visit us, and brought her Daughter In Law with her. I had never met this girl before, the Daughter In Law. Instead of saying "Hi". "Hello", or "Fuck You", she said "Damn you're fat and ugly like my husband was when he was your age." My God, you just don't go around saying stuff like that to kids. From then on, I have tried to keep away from people as much as possible. I try, but I still get flashbacks to that moment.

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving at my house went pretty good!! Ate too much as usual though. It's nice being able to have some of the family around. In addition to Mom, Dad, and Myself, Julie, Leah, and Crystal were here too. Well, excuse me while I get dessert!

MY FAVORITE SONG

My favorite song of all time is The Chain by Fleetwood Mac. I like it because the music is so powerful. Expecially the Bass part in the middle and Lindsay Buckingham's killer guitar solo towards the end. When I saw them in concert in 1987, my ears were nearly blown off by that song!

THE BEST ADVICE GIVEN BY A TV CHARACTER

"We might as well live for today, there might not be many more"


Lt. Starbuck, Battlestar Galactica

A BLAST FROM THE PAST!!

Here's the only pic of me and my sisters altogether that I've ever seen. Julie's on the right, Lori's on the left, and I wonder who that is is the middle?

SOME THINGS I'M THANKFUL FOR!!

As we get ready for the Thanksgiving season, I sat down to think about what I'm thankful for. Here's some of the things I've come up with:


1: My Family, even though we don't get along all the time and sometimes fight like idiots.

2: My Friends. Although I don't have that many of them, I love em all. Each of them brings
something wonderful and different into my life.

3: My Health. Thank you Lord, I've come a long way from that sick little baby I was.

4: My Church.

5: The chance to live in a free Country.

6: A nice home.

And a lot more things...

Here's My Mom and Dad 

SPORTS HAS BEEN SET BACK INTO THE STONE AGE!

After watching scenes from last night's Detriot Pistons-Indiana Pacers NBA game, I think Sports has reached its low point. If you havn't heard about it, the game was called with 45 seconds to go because after a scuffle between 2 players, the crowd started throwing things, and you had players jumping into the stands going after fans, and fans jumping on the court going after players. As a big sports fan myself, I find it totally disgusting. Just because you have a ticket to a game doesn't mean you have the right to act like a total asshole. As for the players, I don't blame them for what they did. If someone was throwing Beer and food on me, I'd be seeing red myself.

EXILED!!

Well, today my fellow CC1ers and I have been exiled from our beloved room! Some stupid idiot has flooded the room with bots (automated chatters) and is packing the room, so no one can get in. We are taking refuge in CC5, but it feels so....strange and unclean being in a different room.

WHAT I WANT IN A WOMAN

Here are some of the things I'm looking for in my search for a significant other:


1: Looks don't matter.

2: Someone who can accept me despite my weight and looks.

3: Someone who can stand my little quirks.

4: Religion is not a requirement, but a Christian would be nice.

5: Likes getting out and hanging with other friends

6: Also, likes having quiet time together.

7: Will stick with me through thick and thin.

If you are interested, please submit your application :P

SO WHAT HAVE I LEARNED THIS WEEK?

Here are a few things I've learned this week:


1: When in doubt, go to God and ask.

2: When in doubt about telling someone that you've been in love with them for 4 years, and
they've just broken up with their BF, Either wait a few weeks or don't.

3: When someone pms you and says theyre someone, verify it.

4: Thank God that you have such great friends, and let em know it.

ANOTHER MEMORY FROM MY CHILDHOOD

During my years in elementary school, I had the privilage(?) to be a classmate of a guy named Tony Mills. The kid was a complete nutcase. He would be right at home with the terrorists these days. He had no respect for anything or anyone. One day, he attacked a teacher with a pair of scissors, and one he sent me to the dr. by spraying something in my eyes. Needless to say, since he was a nutcase and I was the school outacast, we kinda became pretty good friends. I havn't seen him since 6th grade. Last I heard, 20 some years ago, he was shipped to a military school. Lord help them!

ANOTHER FUNNY SAYING

Here's another funny saying I came across in CC1 Land today:


Have you ever felt like a fire hydrant and your friends were dogs with no where to go?

HOUSE CLEANING

Am I the only guy that likes to do housework? I used to really hate doing it, but after my Mom got hurt, and I had a lotta more resposibilities thrust upon me, I don't really mind. Mom is a neat freak, I must've inherited it from her:P

A REVALATION OR '" GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER

Last night as I was praying and asking God "Lord, what can I do to get my life back on track and get it to be the way YOU want it to be?" And then it all came to me. Call me a nutcase, but here's what he said In my words: First off, trust me, I know what's best for you, don't worry. Second, like yourself. I love ya more then anything. If you love yourself, then people will sense that and love you too. Don't worry about your weight or looks, if people judge you by that, then you don't need them in your life. Don't try to be something you aren't. Be yourself, and everything will fall in place. And don't let that stuff that happened to your Mom or what happened to you in school get you down. You may not know it or think it, but all this stuff has made you stronger. As for women, he said don't worry about that either. I've got someone for ya, and I am going to reveal her to you very soon. Believe me I am not crazy! I'm so glad that God has been listening to my prayers.

MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY!

This evening my friend Cathy has an away message on her yahoo messenger that Is really true.


THANK GOD FOR UNANSWERED PRAYERS, WHEN WHAT YOU PRAYED FOR IS NOT WHAT HE WANTS FOR YOU.

MY CC1 FRIENDS

After 4 years of being online, and nearly that long being a denizen of Yahoo Christian Chat 1, I've met many people there, and a lot of them I consider close friends. Here are some of them, and my thoughts about them:


Fran-Wonderful lady, love ya!

Cathy-One of the best people, still (hopefully?) One of my closest friends, though I've caused
her way too much grief sometime.

Lil, Jewels, and Breezey-The classy ladies of the room.

Deb/DK-An online Aunt figure to me.

Jilly-The epitome of coolness, brings fun to the group

Night/Happy/Julie-Nice...but SCARY!!!

Cali-Another classy lady, and another good friend.

Damian-He's the Boss.

Melissia-My "adopted little sister" and probably my closests friend.

Kat Williams-A newcomer, but cool.


And there are many more---you all know who you are.

MY PLEA TO GOD

Dear Lord, please help me . Please help me get over all the stuff that I've been through in my life. My lonliness, Mom's injury, and my being tortured in school have really brought me down, and kept me from being the person I can be. Im not being ungreatful for the things you've done for me, but these things that I've mentioned are the most important things that I need your help with. The most important thing of those, Lord, is please guide me to that special woman you've made for me. My lonliness is totally intolerable. Also Lord, please send me more friends. Anyway, I leave all this in your hands.

SOME FUNNY QUOTES

By Dave Barry

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”
3. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, he WILL NOT use, as his messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.
6. You should not confuse your career with your life.
7. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
8. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.
9. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
10. Never lick a steak knife.
11. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.
12. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.
13. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
15. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
16. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
17. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.
18. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
19. Your friends will love you anyway.
20. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

A FEW QUESTIONS I'D LIKE TO ASK GOD

God, I know we're not supposed to question your motives, but there are a few things I'd really like to ask you:


1: Why did you let me be born with all my birth defects? Because of them, I don't think I'll
ever be able to have kids or be intimate with a woman.


2: Why did you make me so fat and unattractive? Because of that, I have been picked on all my
life, and probably will never find a GF or Wife, because we all know that all women care
about are looks.

3: Why did you not help me when I was being tortured in school? Because of that, I am afraid
of being around people and have zero self esteem.


4: Why did you let Mom get hurt? It has served no purpose except nearly drive me to a
nervous breakdown, because I just can't handle it.



Again, I know that we aren't supposed to question your motives but I'd really like to know.

THE EVILS OR POLITICS.

I am soooo glad that this stupid election is over!!! I'm not much of a political fan, so I can live with Bush winning. I think George Washington was right when he told the country in his Farwell Address that Political Parties were not in the Country's best interest. The parties in Congress spend more time arguing with each other then actually doing "The People's Business" I know that everyone has their own ideas and opinions, but gimme a break!
