Dan My first two articles were finally accepted by the editors of Demand Studios to be published on eHow.com !!! Posted at 1:56 AM Oct 30 view more
About me: I am a quiet, introspective person, who enjoys quiet moments of thinking and reflecting both inside and outside, and values education and morals. I love to write essays and novels and have had an active imagination since I was a kid. I have also liked to draw since I was a small boy and have done several cartoon stories on my own, though I'm not a real-to-life drawer. I compensate for that by taking photographs. Mostly, I get deeply involved in my stories, especially fiction. My lack of a normal social life has led me to go deep within myself and think and reflect, and therefore write stories. When I get writer's block, I enjoy listening to music and watching movies. I am also sensitive and have longed to have close personal friendships with people who interest me or are like me and very much have longed to have an intimate relationship with a nice, good-natured, caring and loving woman. Well, I have recently (April '09) made friends with a girl from Russia, using MySpace. I am in the fortunate situation to have been contacted by her first! We have become close friends!! Her name is Tatyana.
Who I'd like to meet: Some woman who is quiet and somewhat shy like me, but is really nice, good-natured, caring and loving. I would want that person to respect themselves and others and I'd like for her to be interested in reading or education a lot, if necessary. Well, I have recently found that woman, or she found me. It is my new, close friend, Tatyana!! We have become so close to each other this week (Apr. 19 - 24, '09) that we are slowly, but surely forming a relationship!!! Thank you, MySpace!!
Have a great day friend! I see the greatness in you. Your confidence and humility are friends also.
Believe in your talents/gifts and request, from God, the wisdom to
properly make use of them. Believe in yourself because the journey can
never wear down your soul or deter your heart from envisioning another
day. As rain may drop or bow, in the end, you will receive a rainbow.
Regardless of adversity, believe that your vision will become clearer
and your life brighter. I believe
in you. Thank you for believing in me. God bless and let me know if you are encouraged.
Good morning friend! Maybe, people are not perfect. Maybe, friendships
sometime falter. Maybe, relations are only significant within a
specific occasion. However, love never fails. Today, love yourself.
Tomorrow, love who you may be. Any other time, remember the love from
others. God bless.
Good morning friend! Please do me a favor and consider your favorite
today and this week. Eat your favorite food . . . Do your favorite
activity . . . Speak to your favorite friend. The journey ahead is best
traveled with a smile as your companion. God bless.
Good morning! Thank you for your friendship. May peace
become a better friend and bring you the gifts of comfort and
understanding for
your day. Your passion and potential will open every door of every
opportunity which life has defined as your destiny. God bless.
Thank you for being a great friend. Thank you for acknowledging that
your dreams are like a buffet. Continue on until the potential of full
and filled has been reached. You will accomplish strongly desired goals
embedded within your purpose. You will fulfill your dreams!
Good morning! I hope guidance becomes a very good friend to you and
your discernment becomes increasingly keen as you prevail today. Accept
anyone designate a course and course guide, there can be no journey or
establishment thereafter.
Regarding your goals, you are more than able to achieve. Setting goals
beyond their achievement is more about the preparation for success than
the planning for it. Benchmarks to be achieved are not within one's
compass, but remain outside those boundaries which dictate the
exploration of your mind and spirit. Like a rubberband, you're not as
good as potential illustrates unless you're stretched. God bless!
Thank
you for becoming a friend. Thank you for experiencing the realities of
life with me. The relations of one with another are the most
precious of encounters. We'll become successful and stronger together. God
bless!
Your welcome. Thanks for requesting my friendship. I don't have alot of time now, since I have to get ready for a family picnic here at my house. I'm just checking to see my girlfriend's sister in Russia to see how my girl Tatyana is doing after her car accident. I haven't heard much since last week. Pray for her. I'll talk to you later, King. Have a nice, fun Memorial Day!
Thank you for becoming a
friend and aspiring towards continuity in your relationships. I hope that you
fulfill your life purpose and continue to embark upon those journeys which
substantiate your personal worth. Let me know if there's anything I can do for
you. God bless!
