    Yes, writing to me is like playing the piano...you play with passion...and you write with passion and heart, or not at all...

    To the special one...I meant what I said today...

    Anyways...
    Hope everyone had a good day...

    I'm actually not in a writing mood right now...and can't fake that I am...

    Think I'll go to bed now...and escape into the other world of dreams...possibilities...

    Stay clean out there...and keep your hearts pure...later...

    Say when....

    [​IMG]

    Still got more living to do...more thoughts to lay down, more people to annoy by being right...

    The fight in me continues...but in the end it is for good...for that is the only logical direction to go in...

    The world around me may be flat, but I'm not, and never will be...

    So with that, the one man show continues, resumes...
    Stay tuned, for you just never know what to expect on here... and for all the invisible readers that helped this thread aquire over 20,000 views...thanks...

    Yo Adrian, we did it!!

    I went out the other night...and had a blast...I don't know how to do things half way...when I go out, I do so to have fun...

    [​IMG]

    I may venture out tonight...not sure...
    I've been gone, out of town, for the last 3 weeks...
    Need to get back into the flow of things...

    Sometimes just taking the guitar, and going to the park, can create unexpected interactions...

    Or maybe a sophisticated Jazz club...where rich single women hang out...
    Heck, I don't mind staying home and cooking...as long as I get a good allowance, and a porsche

    [​IMG]

    Heck, if the babe will get me a Porsche, and a decent cash allowance...
    Than I don't mind staying at home and being her 'bunny'...

    But if it's a guy, it would have to be a Porsche, and a Hummer, and a motorcycle, and $800.00 a week and a Yacht and a Mansion, my own room, a pet dog, marble floors, large screen tv, and they'de have to leave me in their will...

    (just kidding)....

    It could only be a woman...

    Anyways...let me see what's going on out there tonight...but I also sometimes have a weekend job...so I can't get to wild...

    Added note:

    I actually like having fun by myself now...I love to roller blade, while listening to good music...haven't done that in a while...but a good pair of blades will run you $70-$120 now...hmm...not really in the budget...have an old pair somewhere...

    Hello all, it's Saturday...
    I remember back months ago...on this forum and others, I'd always usher in Saturdays and Fridays with great cheer and joy...

    I don't ever want to stop doing that...I don't ever want life to become 'grey'...

    It's important to keep the kaleidoscope of ideas and dreams alive within your heart...

    [​IMG]

    Never stop planning and accomplishing things in your life...

    Achievement is such a medicine...no matter how small...it's a medicine.

    Anyways, just wanted to stop in and say hello, like I use to do..
    Not much going on today, sky's are grey, but doesn't mean I have to be...

    Ok, what can I accomplish and achieve today...back soon...
     
    U4EA Thanks this.

    And you thought you were having a rough day...

    [​IMG]

    'Doggon Firestonne tires...ugh!!'


    Good morning, and I hope all are well...
    I know it's race day for those who are into motorsports...

    I'll check in a bit later with the usual chatter...
    Just wanted to post this before I moved on...

    Back soon...

    Ok, I'm back...

    Just cleaning up around the place...trying to stay motivated...

    That's kind of been in short supply lately...trying to redefine ones life can be tricky...

    Joy, disappointment, let down...all these emotions or realities rolled into one...
    How to process such information is the key...is there even a proper way to do such...

    To some, life has become drudgery...a chore, a task...

    All I can say is go after your dreams still...bit by bit, step by step, stone by stone...
    Sometimes it's not all or nothing, but sometimes it's a bit here, and a bit there...

    I know I know...useless sentiment...but it's something I have to learn to live by for a while...with time, I will rebound and come back stronger than before...and that will mean changing my whole emotional foundation...

    [​IMG]

    Anyways...I will end this odd post with a movie clip from Shaw Shank Redemption, that I find really inspirational right about now...

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tkzc983aE0&feature=related[/ame]

    Remember...these two were locked up, and loosing hope quickly of ever being free, but still had to dig deep within to find inspiration...they could either continue to dream and talk about their dreams, or they could 'Get busy living or get busy dying'...

    [​IMG]

    Heck, if we think we have it bad, how about these two...and one was raped.

    But my point is...we're free...we're not even locked up...what will we do with that freedom??

    Get busy living? or get busy dying?....the choice is ours, and it begins with attitude, decisions, and change....

    And sometimes that means breaking free from our own prison, internal prison....

    So, get busy living, or get busy dying...and bust out...

    [​IMG]

    Written out of nothing but love and concern...
    For both you, and myself...
     
    U4EA Thanks this.

    Ok, I'm going to bed now, or here soon...what a day on here...

    For the record I love and like everyone...

    But sometimes sentiment gets distorted or mis interpited when discussing certain post topics...

    I don't hold resentment in my heart towards no one...I post, and try to make points out of 'love'.

    [​IMG]

    cause I care...

    But because I care, I don't go out of my way to impress anyone if I think they're wrong about something...

    One of the benifits of being a loner, is you never have to impress anyone...

    Not a loner by choice...I'm just different, and most don't understand me...I guess...

    I'm an anomaly...I don't look the way I sound, don't sound the way I look, don't act the way I look, don't look the way I act and so on...

    But all that's kinda in my past now, as real life issues are forcing me to mature...

    Funny thing is, for years I always mature before my age or time...and was told that...then came the backlash, or 'crisis'...thus another reason, out of many, for the ghostchild tag...

    But I'm not the only one, there are many ghostchilds out there...whether they realize it or not...

    You loose a piece of yourself as a child, and spend the rest of your life trying to find it..

    [​IMG]

    Or at least some of us...

    Anyways...hope everyone had a good weekend...

    I'm looking forward to a full busy work week...(well not really, more like I'm looking forward to the check I'll get from it)...if I could get the check, without the labour, that would be fine by me...

    I'm going to lay down early tonight, so I can wake up refreshed and ready to go...

    Goodnight...at least on this thread...
