The things I leared.

Yesterday and today I was helping this man in Phenix City with this project he has been doing for a while. He is 79 years old and he just had shoulder surgery so he needed some help. well anyway, we (I) were (was) building a closet that he had mostly built on the side of his house off of his bedroom. today I put up paneling, built three big shelves and... laid the carpet. today I busted my be-hiney! But the point is, now I'm glad I went to work with my Dad since I was little, and I paid attention. And I'm glad I've gotten to work with him too, and he has taught me so much. I know how to built most things (houses excluded) and I can fix most things (cars excluded). I am very thankful for the thing that he's taught me, patiently, over the years. It'll pay off alot in the future. So thanks Dad, for putting up with me. :D Moral: Pay attention to things going on around you. even if you think you may never need a skill or ability to do something, but if you don't learn, you'll wish you had. The downside is I am so dog-tired that I'm about to pass out just writting this....dhf;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; wha? oh sorry. dosed there for a second. My forehed hurts.

No such thing as bitter-sweet.

Imagine a girl with only one best friend in the whole world, and she is the only one the first girl will trust. Something happens which shakes their relationship in a horrible way. the first gil cannot forgive the second for " stabbing her in the back".The friendship is ruined and every time they see each other after that it is a series of awkward moments that niether can seem to overcome. When actually, the "situation" was all just a missunderstanding. But girl #1 could not swallow her pride and bitterness, ruining an otherwise potentialy wonderful thing. I personally know the girls in this story. They now are friends again after discovering the truth about what happened. But how they wish they could make up for that lost time that was spent in anger. Life really is too short to spend bitter. No matter who the person is that your bitterness is directed towards, it will effect every relationship you have, and you probably won't/don't even realize it. So much potential can be wasted on anger, or grudges, or even envy(a whole different issue). I've had my own bouts with bitterness, and believe me, it's not something you want to have to live with. I know it might seem like I'm preaching to the choir, but some things need to be said as many times as it takes until it's heard, and listened to.
Most people are too proud to admit they're wrong, but admiting you're wrong doesn't make you a "sissy" or something. Ego placed aside, (yes girls too) with the Lord's help you can be free of the bitter spirit that's binding you. I love all you guys, and just so you know, this isn't aimed at anyone in particular, I just thought I'd share it. Peace out hombres.

"bad mood poem"

The thing that drives us can't be found,
on the street or in a town.

It's not the place you go to find,
a quiet rest and peace of mind.

Niether the things we want to do,
for those things we don't get to.

Don't think the world's under your thumb,
cause if you do, you're pretty dumb.

It's not the places that we see,
or all of the fond memories.

Just when we think it's all planned out,
thats when our dreams go down the spout.

Music, songs and sweet melodies
are in the end just a covering,
for in the end, you know, it seems,

It's really fear that gives men wings.
