Television
Dancing with the Stars (I'm still pissed off about Sabrina!).....American Idol.......my favorite shows as far as reality tv goes..........anything that makes me laugh......laughter is good for the heart and the soul......ALWAYS go to bed after laughing
Heroes
ABOVE ALL...OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Second, without a doubt..........MY MOM. Standing at only 5 feet tall, she was the strongest, most courageous person I have ever known. She was sick for most of her life but never complained and was still the best mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. She had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. She was everything a mother should be--caring, nurturing, loving...I could go on and on. She knew the risks of her surgery......but still went through with it. MY GRANDMA-- I was lucky enough to have 2 mothers. I lived with my Grandma, my Mom, and my Stepdad till I was 30. Me, my Mom, and my Grandma were inseparable. MY DAD-- My Dad had a zest for life like no other. In a span of 30 years, I almost lost him 3 times....once when I was about 5 years old after he was shot. Many years later, he survived a liver transplant. Just about 8 years ago, he survived a kidney transplant. Needing another kidney transplant for a few years now, the Lord finally called his son home. Till we meet again, my angels....until we meet again.

*********************************************************************************************************
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Who I'd like to meet:
Of course, martial artists interested in FREE KICKPICS photo shoots. I'm REALLY looking for sponsors (individuals, martial arts schools, clothing lines, martial arts suppliers, etc). I have well over 400 martial artists from all over the country and outside of the USA interested in a photo shoot but I am NOT wealthy. If you are interested in sponsoring a shoot (it could be your state or it could be another state), then let me know. Any sponsor will be listed on the main KICKPICS page under the sponsors page AND on an individual page where they sponsored a matial artist. Email for details.
Hey thanks Stace it was a great honor! I've got enough space on that email address, so you can resend it. Take care and keep taking those awesome pics!
TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE DESERT. DURING SOME POINT OF THE JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE IN THE FACE. THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING, WROTE IN THE SAND.. TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE. THEY KEPT ON WALKING, UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS, WHERE THEY DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH. THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE MIRE... AND STARTED DROWNING, BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM. AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM THE NEAR DROWNING, HE WROTE ON A STONE: 'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE'. THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND ASKED HIM, 'AFTER I HURT YOU, YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW, YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?' THE FRIEND REPLIED 'WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY. BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD FOR US, WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE WHERE NO WIND CAN EVER ERASE IT'. LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE. THEY SAY IT TAKES A MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL PERSON, AN HOUR TO APPRECIATE THEM, A DAY TO LOVE THEM, BUT THEN AN ENTIRE LIFE TO FORGET THEM.
SEND THIS TO THE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.
I JUST DID.
IF YOU DON'T SEND IT TO ANYONE,
IT MEANS YOU'RE IN A HURRY
AND THAT YOU'VE FORGOTTEN YOUR FRIENDS.
TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE! DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE,
BUT VALUE WHO YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE!
AND IF I HAPPEN TO GET IT BACK,
THEN I KNOW MY PLACE IN YOUR LIFE
'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle
