I'll be there for you.

If you're reading this, thank you. I believe we all need to help each other out. Lend a helping hand when you can. People need each other, whether you'd like to believe it or not. To my friends, understand something. If I CAN help you out in a time of need, I will. But if I can't help, please don't be upset. Understand my situation as well. But I do hope that I'm one of the first people you turn to.

There's so much out there...

... and we've yet to discover it. The Universe is simply ENORMOUS!! Yet, people continue with the facade of being cool and all that irrelevant nonsense. Can we stop?! Stop with the "cool guy" act. Stop with the "toughness" front. Stop with the all the BS!! There are more important things in life than being the coolest person out there. Trust me. We shouldn't be hurting people. We should be helping them.

Compared to you, the stars are dust.

Family ties.

Honestly, I don't know what has happened to family and tradition. There's too much fighting, arguing, and disputing over things, that when compared to family, are insignificant. Many seem to have lost their values for family and truth and honor and loyalty. I can't really blame them though, because society is too caught up in the "bullshit" and the "spotlight" to have time for things as simple and important as family. I know my family ties and family values. Do you?

Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere

Life is short, but some days seem long. Some things are worth fighting for, but life's too short to be fighting. Open hearts and open minds are exceptional, yet the closed ones are the ones that help us appreciate. The truth really shall set you free, but the lies keep you prisoner. Being able to accept and be accepted are a plus, yet rejection helps you keep pushing forward. And remember, Martin Luther King Jr. once said, " the problem today is not the mean words of the bad people, it's the silence of the good people."

What ever happened to respect?

What ever DID happen to respect?! People seem to have lost it. Some think they can do things without it affecting others, or without one's permission. If something's not yours, you should probably ask before you do something foolish with it. If you need something, ask politely. Say excuse me. This feels like it's a 1st grade class!! People don't know how to behave anymore. If "adults" are acting this way, how can we hope for a better future for the children? People need to wake up.

Don't mistake my kindness for weakness.

A grown man acting childish!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Wow." That's what first comes to my mind when I see footage of the S. Carolina senator calling the President a liar. This is directed towards Joe Wilson:

You are an ignorant FOOL!! You're a grown man and not to mention a SENATOR and you interrupt the nations President in the middle of a speech?!?!?! Apparently children have more manners and common sense than you do. And honestly, all of you showing unreasonable resentment to the President, need to calm down. Your racism is truly sickening.

I hope the senator and all the racists read this. Your mentality is based on ignorance. Foolish adults.
