A friend of mine has recently resigned from their place of part-time employment, where they were working as a bouncer. With their permission, I've put a copy of their resignation letter in here, because it's just so darn funny!
There comes a time in every man's life where the animalistic urges subside to the desires to lead a more tranquil, harmonious life. A time when the adrenaline of fighting or the lure of random young pussy no longer holds centre place in one's life. After many years of working waist deep in society's scum, I feel it is time to retire to greener pastures.
I've been a fan of science fiction movies, tv shows and stories for as long as I've been able to see things and to read. When I was in primary and high school, I used to come home with a different book every night, sometimes more than one. And I'd read them in a day or two, and go onto the next. By the time I was 12 I'd read classic authors like Isaac Asimov, Arthur C Clarke, E E 'Doc' Smith and Robert Heinlein. Smith wrote the classic Lensman and Foundation series, which I just couldn't get enough of. Science fiction movies weren't that good for me, as they never matched the depths of my imagination, while books allowed me to flesh out the details. Dr Who was an exception, as that was definitely quality sci-fi. And then there was Blakes 7, another British sci-fi show which was just fantastic. Around the same time was Battlestar Galactica, a show which even my parents loved to watch.
Here's the latest gesture of insanity to sicken me. A hospital in West Yorkshire, UK, has declared itself to be a proponent of "patient's rights" by enforcing an attitude that babies are patients too. Not only are they patients, but they're 'little people', just like you and I (except we're not so little… well, I don't know about you at least…).
Who you are today is a result of the choices you've made over the past 5 years. Who you are to become in 5 years time will be a result of the choices you make today. Choose wisely. - author unknown
I heard that quote at an Amway seminar over a decade ago, and I've never forgotten it. Who you are today is a result of your choices, and who you are to become will also be a result of your choices.
Who do you want to become? What do you want to achieve?
Corona Red Roses I stumbled upon her by blog browsing, and found her talking about internet dating. I added some comments, she added some comments to my own 'dating for men' site and liked it enough to add it to her links, so here she is.
Deidre and I went for a walk / jog tonight, which is almost common for us. We've been going for walks now for a while, and only the other night we upgraded it to do a bit of jogging as well. Both of us are relatively unfit, so it'll be good for us.
Tonight, I suggested that we jog uphill and walk downhill, to help ease us into it. We started jogging and got to the top of the street we're on and slowed to a walk. It was then we discovered we had some company.
I wrote the below early 2004, and I thought it would be a relevent addition to this site:
Her name is Zhenzhen (pron: Jen-Jen) and I've been seeing her on and off for the past couple of months. It's been quite interesting 'cause it started off simply as friendship, but has progressed in fits and starts to something more than just friends. She's 22 and that's why it started only as friends, as I wasn't initially interested in anything more.
Chancelucky asked a question here: "…if demons are a manifestation of the energy we create around ourselves, I assume that implies that angels are as well. If so, are they really the same thing?"
No, I don't believe they are the same thing. For a start, while demons can be a personal manifestation of our own negativity, they can also be the manifestations of the negative energy of other people, throughout history. They exist as entities of a lower vibration, and drift around looking for similar energy to feed on. While they are attracted to those who 'glow brightest', feeding off their energy, they're also attracted to those who are of similar vibrations as themselves, who are weak enough to be defenceless to their influence.
