I feel bad for people who don't drink, because when they wake up in the morning, that's the best they're gonna feel all day.-Frank Sinatra aka thee man!

Today I lost a dear friend suddenly. We were friends for a very long time. Now I don't want to say tell your friends and loved ones how you feel about them because tomorrow may be too late because you already know that, right? My friend and I both were crystal clear on how we felt about each other. I will miss her dearly. Time will fix my heart but there will always be that scar. Take care, friends! Take it easy, but TAKE IT…

I'm 43 yrs old, and I've been a screenprinter since i was 16. It's been my passion for all of these years, but it's taking a huge toll on my body. I have arthritis in my back, elbows, knees and shoulders. Well one shoulder now(left one is replaced). Everyone is telling me to start looking for another line of work, but it's like telling me to stop breathing! I love creating something that people look at and say, "That looks awesome!" I wake up early, stretch and get everything warmed up, then take a walk. It's a painful process, but it's what I have to do to keep my body working correctly. I've also lost 50 lbs in the last 7 mos., doctor's orders on that one or I have to have my vertibrae fused. Hopefully I'll be able to play soccer this year. I think rugby might be done for me, but we'll see. Hopefully I didn't bore anyone with this. Just having a reflective moment while sitting here, and decided to get it out. I say it alot, but it's cathartic for me. Some of my T's.

I don't want this anger burning in me! It's something from which it's so hard to be free.
And none of the tears that we cry in sorrow or rage, can make any difference, or turn back the page...

I've been a member here since '04, when I saw Missy and some of the other girls in a piece on HBO's Real Sex. It blew my mind! I was like YES, these are my kinds of people! I have seen the evolution of the community, although for the most part anonymously. In the last year I have become more involved; joining a few groups and commenting on sets. I find myself caring for people whom I don't know personally, yet feel a strong bond with. I am so happy and proud to have 'met' so many wonderful people here! This is the first place I go after work, yes for the beautiful and diverse array of gorgeous women, but also to catch up with what's going on in the lives of the people I have come to care for. I just wanted to come here and say CONGRATULATIONS to Missy and all of the people who have made this community the awesome place that it has become! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! I hope if anyone reads this they realize how special this place is, and it's all because of YOU! Take it easy, but TAKE IT!

Happy Sunday everyone!
