And I know which one I'd rather be. Who the hell wants to be just another face in the crowd? For me, anyone who tries to intimidate me for being different is jealous.

Being...Coop, i think you hit the nail on da head.<br /> <br />Being different. <br /><br />I'd bet most of us who are 'different' for whatever reasons, have some pretty interesting life stories and experiences that make it all worthwhile.<br /><br />I like what Stew says about honesty, to be honest with yourself and to love yourself. <br /><br />You have to know your core self, where your ideals originate, and why you take this moral path.<br /><br />Its been an interesting topic.jimmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114255434616727257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-68367221004692307312011-06-16T09:54:46.953-04:002011-06-16T09:54:46.953-04:00As always, nice to hear from you on this great Jun...As always, nice to hear from you on this great June morning!

For most people, that honesty comes late in life, when they no longer have the drive of a young heart. <br /><br />It is wonderful that you, Justin, have found yourself at an early age. You will do well, as I've stated before.<br /><br />And Jimm, I think it's great that you spend Sundays in your world. Welcoming others into that world will only help you all to be more understanding of eachother.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964941329127641280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-7019776653371852322011-06-16T08:59:11.017-04:002011-06-16T08:59:11.017-04:00"Sweet!" s'all I can say. . and THAN..."Sweet!" s'all I can say. . and THANK YOU both for pointing it out to me.<br />JustinOJustinO'Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07379283329949646000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-13757407415446441082011-06-16T02:08:28.545-04:002011-06-16T02:08:28.545-04:00You see, ever since First-grade, i've been tau...<i>You see, ever since First-grade, i've been taught to be someone i'm not.

It must have been quite confusing when you were rejected for holding hands, only to observe it was okay among the adults. <br /><br />All this by the First-grade, that is similar to my own experiences, but the rejection was for my disability.<br /><br />I had a feeling(my mystical side, of course, hehe)that you had an experience deep inside that gave you the drive and determination to reach for lofty goals. And no doubt your parents and role models nurtured those positives.<br /><br />Now i shall share a bit. On Sundays i try to get thru the day without hearing-aids. Why? Because that's who i am. The other 6 days a week i'm trying to be like everybody else. Fit into their world. So for just that one day, Sunday, i don't worry about the phone ringing, the door knocks, missing the conversation, or even that car about to mow me down. <br /><br />You see, ever since First-grade, i've been taught to be someone i'm not. It takes a lot of courage to overcome that. And that's what I see in you, Justin.<br /><br />About that Harley, when i was a youngster riding double, the guy did a wheelie at 90mph. Never again! But skydiving's ok.jimmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114255434616727257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-32451950225114607972011-06-15T19:32:01.649-04:002011-06-15T19:32:01.649-04:00Dear fellow Cancerian......this was very enlighten...Dear fellow Cancerian......this was very enlightening Justin.

Talk about kissing the Blarney stone.<br /><br />It's obvious to me that you are who you are, JustinO, largely because of your mom and dad and your gran. Their love and support has made the tree grow strong and healthy.<br /><br />BTW, is that you in the pic? Must've been Photoshopped. You look far too handsome.
