The text below was copied from Shannon Stewart's Blog This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true. 1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to someone. 7. You are special and unique. 8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. 10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look. 11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks. So............If you are a loving friend, send this to everyone, including the one that sent it to you. If you get it back, then they really do love you. And always remember....when life hands you Lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over! !!!

Although I really don't have any sexual issues (my hand will tell you otherwise :p), I find it's always good to take a refresher course every now and again and to seek new information to stay on top of my game. My friend, Renea, has posted a series of blogs under the title Sexual Issues. Each entry in the series focuses on a particular aspect of human sexuality. I find the material very informative and apparently well researched, and it is presented in an easy to read format. Please visit my friend Renea's profile for really informative information about the naughy nature of man/womankind. Neabear

This following is actually a blog posted by my cherry friend Reana 'Neabear' Jones. I was so impressed by her insight that I asked her permission to repost it here. What really impressed me is that she seems way mature and wise beyond her 19 years of age. I my opinion Renea is a beautiful young woman whose wisdom and insight will indeed enlighten any and all that has a chance to come into contact with her during her life's journey. "I wonder why we as human beings always seem to think that when things are at there worst...they will never get better. I myself am guilty of this. I have found myself in the position so many times to just feel tired...to not want to go on. Just stumble around this hectic world until my lottery number comes up and I get hit by a greyhound bus while walking across the street, talking on my cell-phone like a fucking zombie. But it's strange. Some how, some way, things always turn around. They always get better. Do we always recognize this? No...I don't think we do. Sometimes that pit of self-pity that we drown ourselves in feels too comfortable, to warm. Those jacuzzi jets are on full speed hitting you right in the middle of the back, the sweet spot. Who would want to drag themselves away from that when it becomes what we are used too? There have been a few times in my life when I have let the upward climb go completely over my head. I was so miserable I didn't realize I had the opportunity to be happy. Could you call that self-pity? Or just plain ignorance? Probably both, but the older I get the more I realize that most of my life has been spent in a funk. So much of it has been unfilling and unrewarding. Let downs, heartbreak, just plain hurt. There for awhile I resigned myself to the fact that that was just the way it was going to be, no matter how hard I tried or no matter how much I gave. Well...do you know what I say to that? Fuck that. I'm tired of thinking that this is all there is. That life is a bitch. Here's your fucking quarter...go call someone who gives a shit. All this time I thought I was tired of trying when in reality I'm just damn tired of being bitter and hateful. They say life is what we make it. To some extent that is true...but sometimes you can't avoid those people who dig pot holes in your little highway of life. You know, the little trolls with the crooked nose and the red beady eyes. The ones who always hide behind a rock to watch you slip and fall. They are the ones who say they love you and don't mean it. They are the ones who say they will be there for you and then aren't. Well, I'm here to tell you the next one I come across is getting a .45 in the fucking temple. Am I going to cry about it? No. I'm I going to feel guilty? No. I'll step over it's still twitching body and get ahold of the people who care about me and go have a damn margarita. Out of sight...out of mind. I'm going to right some wrongs. I'm going to get back on that happy track again. I want my life to have more meaning then it does. I think I've finally found the left turn I should have taken when I went right. I refuse to sit here and wallow in it. Like I said...FUCK THAT. I'm done mourning. I'm done hating (well...most people). I'm a hell of a woman and I deserve to be treated like it. The one who can do that will be the happiest man in the world. That's a guarantee. So hold onto your hats folks because there is a new and improved Renea on the horizon. Bigger...better...and fucking awesome. You don't believe me? Just ask...I'll tell ya." Please show some love to Renea by visiting her page. Neabear

@ LostCherry Thanks again, Renea, for allowing me to repost your words of wisdom.

This is from a profile I was directed to today. It pretty much summarizes and compliments my views on life (exept for the female references). I found it to be pretty profound for one so young. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did: "A modest woman may be once Violated, but her virtue is greatly strengthened as a result" -Voltaire 'candide' I've been through more shit then most of you will go through your whole life. Im quite Thankful for the good and bad things that have been thrown my way..Its made me who i am, its made me strong, its made wanna live my life to the fullest fogetting the Big things and loving the little things. Most people have no idea how great they have it till they loose it. Life isnt suppose to easy sometimes you have to keep reminding yourself that, a little suffering never hurt anyone. In the End you'll survive with scars, or a story to tell. what im telling you is ..be happy with every moment you have to breath,appreciate your friends, your parents, and even stop to love the little things in life. It irriates me when people go all anal because mom and dad wont buy them the pink cell phone or because mom and daddy wont buy them a 2 million dollar car. They have no idea how much i envy them..loving mom and dads? lucky you Walk Out give them the finger and you're worried that your thoughts are not clear? Overlooked, unfit apperance- I live and die for moments like these. right now..moving along. I dont talk to people Based on looks. I base it on personality.Remember looks are only temporary..Personailty is forever. I wish more people understood that. people are toooo wrapped up on perfection..that they're forgetting how ugly they are on the inside. I have cable..my puter is pretty much always on..im not here often..so chill out if i dont answer you. I dont wear makeup "to cover up my fat ugly face" as some of you have said. Makeup is my art, its my passion,its just what i do..if you think its "ghey" and all that jazz..frankly i dont give a shit. I walked to get this far."
