Hope quotes
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.
--Plato
The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.
--Plato
At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
--Plato
The above is something I have really come to believe!!
The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. -- Barbara Kingsolver
Hope is the last thing that dies in man; and though it be exceedingly deceitful, yet it is of this good use to us, that while we are traveling through life it conducts us in an easier and more pleasant way to our journey's end. -- François de la Rochefoucauld
He who does not hope to win has already lost. -- Jose Joaquin Olmedo
When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.--Pauline R. Kezer
Each man is capable of doing one thing well. If he attempts several, he will fail to achieve distinction in any.
--Plato
The part can never be well unless the whole is well.

More ranting
Well I am 'here' again. I am now forced to see 'a' world in which I have created. It sucks!! I've hung all of my hopes and dreams that by getting my bachelors degree with my work experience I would be able to land a job I wanted, make decent money and begin a career. Instead, for the last 11 months I haven’t really worked, now doing a job I haven’t done since I was 18, and getting the joy of driving 30 minutes 1 way to do it. This sucks and I can’t seem to come up with a working viable plan to get out of it. All I really know is I am ‘stuck’ here until I do. I just don’t want to end up like my mother!! God HELP ME!!!
Seems like by now I should be ‘grown’ up and know what it is I want to do. And I know there are a lot of people out there regardless of age, that don’t. Not comforting to me. I’ve tried to just relocate and ‘enjoy the scenery’ helps for awhile. Man some people make it look so easy!! Bastards. Seems to me that I’ve fallen down, and not real sure how to get back up, or if I really want to, and I guess I’m just bitching, but hey this is my blog and I can cry if I want to. Stop reading, and I can’t even imagine someone reading this. Is it this painful for other people too? Do they just have a support group of some kind?
Things I am not good at that are becoming grossly apparent:
1. What do I want to do with my life?
2. Learn to manage my life more like a business, i.e. this is not working so stop doing it and do something else
3. Forgiveness
4. Getting a job. Seems like thus far, I have just gotten ‘lucky’ and hoped something landed for me I like. Which is really the last 10 years of my life. So taking a more active role of ‘control’ if that’s possible. My girlfriend assures me it is.
5. Being organized
6. Wanting to want to _____________ Feel in the blank. Besides hedonism, and the here and now, not much do I want to do. Although that has even gotten real old. Even sick of my speech.

Writing is very theraputic
You know as I write these, and realize that there MAY be an audience, I do slow down and think abit. This in and of itself is a real rarity for me. I try to chose my words and little more carefully, and think 'we'll why did I write that'? There seems to me to be always another question. Today was a really boring day for me, YES they do happen, even to me, OH the HUMANITY!!! I got to see and old friend, and listen to some very crappy karaoke. I don't understand why almost everyone has to fall into 2 very broad catogeries. One you think you belong on American Idol OR you drone on and on, and you have to sing more songs over and over like that. Are you living out the fantasy that you were chosen to be the next Elvis or Madonna? I mean hell then I should go ahead and live out my John Holmes, Peter North fantasy then. No time like the present. I swear I've seen and watched a woman tonight (again I am insanely bored or I wouldn't even be typing this) and she was at the point of "Gonna need some more audio on this channel, my earpiece it's no good, I CANNOT work under these conditions. She was acting to me like a DIVA" and yes I am guilty of juding, and yes if I didn't like it I could have left. I can tell you I won't be going back there again on a Saturday night, please for the love of God please don't let me/make me. I guess it's one of those things you have to experience.
And another thing, what is the strange alure power ANY rap song has over white women. Instantly they go into Girls Gone Wild. I mean don't get me wrong I love it, but just about every Country/State/City I've been to, it holds true well over 90% of the time. It just blows my mind. Thank you ladies! We love to see you get naked and have no rythem. It's awesome.
Writing CAN BE therauputic, I also need to get some professional help. Seriously

Don't Quit
W. Churchill quotes at the top, I really would have liked to have met him.
Never give in! Never give in! Never, never, never, never - in nothing great or small, large or petty. Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never, never, never, never give up.
Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.
Everyone is in favour of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom; justice; honor; duty; mercy; hope. (I would add to this Love, my oponion, maybe these are only derivations thereof)
Saving is a very fine thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will.
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.
When funds are low and the debts are high.
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns.
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about.
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
