I Prefer: In Relationships
The List is long.
Be Funny, and more so than being funny, know when to be funny. It's all about timing!
Be Charming, sweet words that no doubt will make me swoon, while at the same time will not be perceived as coming on too strong.
Be Interesting. Sports, Cars, Philosophy, Music, Fashion, Politics, Creativity. All of the above. Chunks and sections that will keep me guessing. Hunks and pieces that will make me proud to brag to my friends about you.
Be Intelligent, something worth my time and something worth your effort. Know your thoughts. Know your beliefs. Have an opinion.
Be Independent. Clingy is out. A Friendship is a Relationship too and it isn't "This is My Girlfriend..." It's "This is 'Her Name Here'".
Be Assertive. Stand up for your beliefs, stand up for your ideals and stand up for your capability to tell me like it is, because I am acting like an Idiot.
Be Kind. And genuwine. And my hero.
Be a Knight, but only when I need you to/don't want you to.
Be a Rogue, but only when I want you to/don't need you to.
Be Humble. You Can be Wrong.
Be Honest. Lies are for game players.
Be Yourself. Not the one you invented. The one you are when you're alone and willing to admit to your shadow how it really is.
Like I said, the list is long.
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide
I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide
It is amazing how one person or in this case, one thing can mean so much and have such an affect on me. Even after all these years. Even at my age.
There was a time when I was all about ball. When I ate, slept, breathed and lived basketball. I thought that those days were long gone. I thought I had lost the love for the game. I thought that the passion was gone. And for a long time, it was. When I came back here, I waited to get back involved, because I was afraid. Afraid that things had changed. Afraid the game had changed. Afraid that I had changed. Too much.
And you know what? It has and I have. But perhaps that is for the best. Because I can now watch and participate and enjoy the game in a new way. There is not a day that doesn't go by that I don't think about those times and those people. And as much as the faces have changed and the results may vary... the game is still the greatest one on earth.
I just wish it didn't hurt so much when we lose!
Sheryl Crow
"I Shall Believe lyrics"
Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe
I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe
Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key
Never again
would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe

Basic Rules for Living
1. You will receive a body.
You may like it or not, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
2. You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full-time, informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The 'failed' experiments are as much part of the process as the experiment that ultimately 'works'.
4. A lessons is repeated until it is learned.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it - then you can go to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end.
There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6. 'There' is no better than 'here'.
When your 'there' has become 'here', you will simply obtain another 'there' that will, again, look better than 'here'.
7. Others are merely mirrors of you.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you.
You have all the tools and resources you need, what you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. The answers lie inside of you.
The answers to life's questions lie inside of you. All you need to do is loo, listen and trust.
