My 0.02$ on life, love and friendship

1. God won't ask what kind of car you drove, He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.
2. God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
3. God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many you helped clothe.
4. God won't ask what your highest salary was, He'll ask if you gave some to help others.
5. God won't ask what your job title was, He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
6. God won't ask how many friends you had, He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
7. God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.
8. God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the content of your character.
9. God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation, He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.

The worst feelings ::

Tuesday, 14. February 2006, 12:03:10

Being told that someone is better than you.
Knowing that you're being lied to.
Letting yourself be beat down.
Crying hard.
Losing someone close.
Watching yourself fade away.
Falling apart because you're alone.
Being alone because you're falling apart.
Hating yourself.
Not being good enough.
Being told that she's prettier.
Being mad at someone because you're mad at yourself.
Best friends falling apart.
Being on the sidelines.
Not being pretty enough.
Being told that you are fat.
Breaking up.
Falling out of love.
Being used.
Being made fun of.
Changing for someone else.
Realizing that he doesen't love you.
Falling asleep alone when he should be next to you.

Wherever life takes you, big cities

Monday, 13. February 2006, 01:45:22

Wherever life takes you, big cities, small towns you will inevitably come across small minds. People who think they are better than you are. People who think that material things or being pretty or popular makes you a worthwhile human being. But none of these things matter unless you have a strength of character, integrity, sense of pride. And if you have these things, don't ever sell them. Don't ever sell out. So when you meet a person for the first time, please don't judge them by their station in life. Because who knows, that person just might end up being your best friend.

Friday, 10. February 2006, 11:54:12

quotes, me, love

Maybe I should have saved those left over dreams.

Yes those dreams of the shining stars collecting,
Into one beautiful orbit in which a galaxy is born.

And maybe in that galaxy there is life,
Free from war and greed and strife.

And in the world a baby comes into it,
Claiming its right to live and breathe by living to now!

In the present, your are either living or already dieing,
For not all of us are dieing every moment, but soaring.

And that one life is just one of the entire universe of which it doesn't understand.
But maybe one day, it will realize what's there in front of it's

And that's just a glimpse of what I see,
Every time I look into your eyes

Now look into mine

Dylan Patrick O'Leary

When your mind says you shouldn't,

Friday, 10. February 2006, 11:52:57

quotes, me, love

When your mind says you shouldn't,
You heart says who couldn't?

When the mind says think about it,
The heart says I'm a-shake just for it.

When the mind says no,
the heart says go.

These two giants clash like gods,
Making life what it is at odds.

The mind the brain, its all in control,
Until someone comes in and busts up its role.

Your heart, the nerve, the feeling of the part,
When she goes for this now its the culinary art.

She tears you and smears you up and down the wall,
Until now you know you have no feeling at all.

Right when she hits that spot, you calm and subdue,
'Cut off my arms, I'll still find a way to hold you.'

We think this way just like night and day,
But your mind and heart together will find a way..

Dylan Patrick O'Leary

They asked me if I kissed you.

Friday, 10. February 2006, 11:51:53

They asked me if I kissed you.
I told them yes.
They asked if I regretted it.
I told them no.
They asked me if I regretted falling for you.
I told them no.
They asked me how I could have ever liked you.

I replied:

I don't regret any of my feelings or things I did with him, because when I look at him I see something different than what everyone else can see. When I'm with him, I feel a feeling that no one or being anywhere else can give me. When I kissed him, my world around me melted. When he held me in his arms and rested his head on mine, I forgot everything but my world that was holding me. Even though all of you may see something in him that is so horrible, all I see is all the positive, and special moments that he ever shared with me...
The only thing that I regret is listening to everyone else, because if I had listened to my heart, I would still have him by my side. He would still be just a phone call away. But now, he's just a phone call away for someone else...

Did you ever fall for someone you know you shouldn't?

Thursday, 9. February 2006, 13:29:46

Did you ever fall for someone you know you shouldn't?
Try hard to fight your feelings, but you just couldn't?
You fall deeper with each passing day,
But try to hide it in every possible way.
He's only a friend, and nothing else--
That's the lie you keeping telling yourself.
You keep on saying he's just a bud,
But deep inside, you're falling in love.
You get so giddy when you meet his eyes,
But keep reminding yourself it isn't right.
A simple glance turns into a stare,
But you pretned that you don't care.
It's "not right" for you two to be.
Is that why you hide it so no one can see?
But how long will you pretend?
Keep lying that he's just a friend?
Perhaps your feelings you can never show.
Perhaps it's "wrong" for him to know.
Your friendship can't be risked over this,
So being his girl is an impossible wish...

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Sifting through the memories

Wednesday, 8. February 2006, 16:43:49

Sifting through the memories
of a life I lived before
remembering all the sorrow
the lives I took and more

So many sleepless nights
trying to make it one more day
for God, Country, and Freedom
an honored price to pay

Vapor trails from the muzzle
brain matter on a wall
the power to stop ones heart
only God should make that call

600 meters away
with every exhale, I see your breath
I whispered "breathe deeply now"
its your last one before your death
Daniel J. Pippin

I've placed my life in your hands

Wednesday, 8. February 2006, 16:43:13

I've placed my life in your hands
You own the key to my heart
Please open me slowly
I must warn you I'm often dark

Twelve demensions of my mind
with mirrored walls and shattered glass
you may lose your way now
its hard to stay on path
this abstract puzzle of my past

Leaning on my walls
will only make me bleed
a life sworn in silence
Im not that life you see

Don't reach for the light
you will only blind your eyes
if you search for files
they will only tell you lies

You cant tell my story
only I have lived my life
the agreement to remain silent
to live a life forever unknown
i take with me these sad stories
now cover me with that stone
Daniel J. Pippin

Sometimes I cry!

Wednesday, 8. February 2006, 16:42:13

Sometimes when I'm alone,
I cry because I'm on my own,
The tears I cry r bitter and warm,
They flow with life but take no form,
I cry because my heart is torn,
And I find it difficult 2 carry on,
If I had an ear 2 confide in,
I would cry among my treasured friends,
But who do u know that stops that long?
To help another carry on,
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by,
Than stop and c what makes u cry,
It's painful and sad and sometimes I cry,
And no one cares about why !
Tupac Shakur

Okay, here it is, your choice...

Wednesday, 8. February 2006, 16:39:52

Okay, here it is, your choice... it's simple, her or me, and I'm sure she is really great. But Derek, I love you, in a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me.
Meredith Grey--Grey's Anatomy

The key to surviving a surgical internship is denial. We deny that we're tired, we deny that we're scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we're in denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can't recognize the truth right in front of our faces.
Meredith Grey--Grey's Anatomy

When you were a kid, it was Halloween candy. You hid it from your parents and you ate it until you got sick. In college, it was the heavy combo of youth, tequila and well, you know. As a surgeon, you take as much of the good as you can get because it doesn't come around nearly as often as it should. 'Cause good things aren't always what they seem. Too much of anything, even love, is not always a good thing.
Meredith Grey--Grey's Anatomy

A couple of hundred years ago

Wednesday, 8. February 2006, 16:38:36

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.
Meredith Grey--Grey's Anatomy

Tuesday, 7. February 2006, 08:33:26

So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong;
Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone.
Everything I am and everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be.
I'll never let you down even if I could.
I'd give up everything if only for your good.
So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong;
You can hold me when I'm scared but you won't always be there,
So love me when I'm gone

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Monday, 6. February 2006, 09:17:06

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing,
Watch you smile while you are sleeping,
While you're far away and dreaming,
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,
I could stay lost in this moment forever,
When every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure,

I don't wanna close my eyes,
I don't wanna fall asleep,
Cause I'd miss you babe,
And I don't wanna miss a thing,
Cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream would never do,
I'd still miss you babe,
And I don't wanna miss a thing.

Lying close to you,
feeling your heart beating,
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming,
Wondering if it's me you're seeing,
And then I kiss your eyes,
And thank God we're together,
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever,
Forever and ever.

And I don't wanna miss one smile,
I don't wanna miss one kiss,
I just wanna be with you,
Right here with you, just like this,
Well I just wanna hold you close,
And feel your heart so close to mine,
And just stay here in this moment,
For all the rest of time
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
Aerosmith

Why do you stare so at a puddle?

Sunday, 5. February 2006, 09:19:21

quote, me, love

Two young children, a girl and a boy were sitting on a bench near the road. It had just stopped raining, and puddles were deep and thick in the potholed space. The boy got up, and without speaking, began to jump in the puddles, laughing.
The girl however, studied the one closest to her, looking into it with such fasination that the boy stopped his jumping and looked over her, still ankle deep in his puddle. "Sister," he asked, "Why do you stare so at a puddle?"
She was quiet for a moment, then answered. "Have you ever looked at a puddle brother? Or into it, I should say?" The boy thought a moment, then shook his head. "Whyever should I?"
The girl took on a dreamy look, staring at the horizon that was reflected in that selfsame puddle. "Because puddles are windows brother, windows to worlds beyond our best imagination."
