PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Why do people act as though they know me? I have been fortunate enough to spend 52 years on this earth. The Lord has been extremely good to me. Unfortunately, even at this point in my life I have to contend with the "drama" that selfish, ignorant, childish individuals bring. I have over the last several years weened myself away from negative people or those with their own agendas; who, for whatever reason feel as though they OWN me or have a right to speak for me. They don't. I remember in high school being such a nerd that a girl would barely speak to me, or maybe it was just the way I thought of myself. I don't know when it happened, that my life became so important to others that they feel that they must spend their time on this site to tell others about me, as though they might have some insight into my life. I am so content with who I am and what I am about. I pray that all of you out there are content with you. But maybe you are not and that is really unfortunate. Every person should reach that point in their lives where they really like who they are. It's sad that most of us stay children or worse, teenagers in our social behavior. We don't want to grow up and accept responsibility for our actions/life. For the record, I am not on myspace to meet anyone or F**K anyone. There are so few people who can truly say that they know me. Others are those who contact my friends here and create fantasies in order to feel better about themselves. Their lives are so empty and void of substance, the only way they can feel worthwhile is by living vicariously through someone else. I don't feel the need to block anyone from my page, shut down my page, or spend an inordinate amount of time calling out anyone in particular. Just this public service to say that "keep my name out your mouth"...LOL...i had to say that because it felt good. But honestly, I hope that you (and you know who you are) find out who you truly are and that you are able to fall in love with that person. Then you won't have to spend so much time worried/concerned about what it is I do or don't do. There is more I could say but....
