Did I seem down? I can't really tell anymore. Probably not a good sign.

I have a lot of May birthdays as well. I'm not as enthusiastic about it as you are.

God, I hope I'm not as old as I feel.

Yes, I think that attractiveness can increase your chance of being successful. I don't know if I am attracted to conventional beauty or not. I certainly don't find a lot of people attractive that other people do. For example, Carmen Electra, Scarlet Johansen & Jenna Jameson are 3 examples of women that I don't get the appeal of. Not unattractive but nothing special.

Also personality goes a long way. Some people become more beautiful the more you get to know them. For me Erika was like that. I mean I always found her attractive, but the more I got to know her the more she took my breath away.

Yes, one time when my daughter was little we had just finished eating at our favorite place and discovered I did not have my checkbook and they did not take credit cards. I just explained the situation and that I would go and get cash and be right back. We ate there a few times a month so he knew we'd be back.

I can't think of anything really bad that I've done or had done to me. Not as a joke anyway. My daughter did have an online friend fake his own death though. Pretty cruel thing to do.




Sorry to hear about your losses.

Hope you had a great Mother's day.

Hmm, you always seem to know what I am talking about. I can't decide if that means I'm really transparent or you are really perceptive. Hoping it is the latter.

I'd rather help people up. According to my father that makes me weak, but fuck him. Maybe I'll just make an exception for him if I ever find him laying on the ground.

Aww they were cute. Sorry to hear you lost them.

1. Yes, the world is certainly easier for some pretty people. Of course a lot of the wealthy can do more to make themselves pretty do it's hard to say.

I don't know if I can define beauty. I guess it's like art. I just know what i like.

I do think I tend to prefer less conventional beauty.

2. No, I don't think that has ever happened to me. I have forgotten to pay for things but in those circumstances it was always someone who knew me. They just sent us a bill or brought it up the next time I was around.

3. I once got tired of my dad constantly insinuating I was gay. So I enlisted a fried who really was gay and faked coming out to him. We told him we were in love and we were going to have a commitment ceremony. I thought the old bastard was going to die right there. In hindsight that was pretty mean.

Photo? Ok, here's a pic of my butt.

Answers to Qs from previous journal.

1. I don't know. I've tried both ways in the past. With results ranging from less than great to tragic in both cases. Now I just try to help them avoid those situations to begin with. That hasn't really worked out that well either though.

2. It's because they have to deal with men.

3. Yeah, I do. I like to think they just got too busy with other things and will be back eventually, like I do. Doesn't seem to be the case most of the time though.

If I don't talk to you before then I hope you have a fabulous birthday. Not every day a girl turns 21 for the 6th time.

I always knew I was really only 12.

Thank you for the comment. I'm glad you like it. Andyep, life is rather good at the moment. Every now and then I try to hide it, but on the whole I fail dismally.

I think beauty has an impact on the ease/frequency with which a person is given the opportunity to be successful. However, following through with the opportunities present ... that takes more than beauty.

Luckily the MANY times I've forgotten my wallet when buying something I've either 1) had someone else with me and scabbed the money off them 2) had something valuable I could leave there (once was my mobile phone) or 3) been such a regular at the place that they just had me pay next time.

You scored some interesting photos with that last request. Nice.

Oh damn I know EXACTLY the migraine drugs that you're talking about...
They're such a huge waste of time, and I just get frustrated with them and don't want to take them.

There's no answers for my headaches...one day I'm hoping I'll know what causes them.

Oooo birthday twins - this is awesome

Beauty is absolutely a factor, but you have to factor in that beauty is also subjective.
I think you've been so worried about getting up that you've forgotten that you're already walking.

i think you're great and besides, I am twice as old as you

Just saying hello. I finally got to do something fun since I got here . Went to go see a Valcano well a huge deep pit cuased by one lots of steam though and went into these tunnels called Lava Tubes. It was all lit up and there was area you take a light to use becuase its pitch black in there. Got some pics but I used my cell phone so you can't see as good if you were there. But all in all not a bad day.

Oh hell yeah beauty effects stuff.

I had a friend get off in court b/c the judge told him " Life's easier for good looking people". I know it can drop you off people's radar alot at times, get them to drop their guard. Let me go all "Spider Man" - with great power - beauty- comes great responsibility.

I once pumped gas and realized I had no money. I dropped my license off and came back with the money. End of issue.

Worst joke? I don't know, I'm generally too nice of a guy to let bad stuff go...

I lack entertaining pics, too bad we don't have video of 3 hours ago.

As for being beat down, I hate to say it, but yeah, you gotta get up. Otherwise, how you figure you're gonna beat life's ass back? And it's as simple as this in any contest - if you're getting tired, odds are your opponent is too. Roll with the punches long enough, and your chance will come. When that opportunity arises, tackle it for all you're worth and don't let go! Guard your grill sweetie, it'll be ok...eventually.
