  <title>No privacy</title>

  <description>You know, I believe that the more technologically advanced we become, the more we regress. We live in a world where anything you do is known. We can&apos;t even go to the bathroom without someone knowing about it! That&apos;s pretty sad!  Whatever happened to privacy?</description>

  <title>After Thanksgiving thoughts...</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/77206.html</link>
  <description>* My Thanksgiving dinner was a huge success, and the food turned out great! My family loved it! I am thankful for having this opportunity to do this. I like cooking. :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* The day after Thanksgiving sales are going on everywhere, and everyone&apos;s out taking advantage of it all. Hence the name &quot;Black Friday&quot;.  I never quite understood why anyone, the day after Thanksgiving, would want to camp out, or wake up at 4am, just for those sales! Yeah, you could save a little money, but not a whole lot, IMO.  Just let me sleep in my nice, warm bed, and let those crazy fools be out in the cold! &lt;br /&gt;Did I mention that I&apos;m not a morning person? &lt;br /&gt;Did I mention that I hate cold weather? (I think I&apos;m allergic to it! LOL)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I&apos;m thankful of a lot. I&apos;ve come to realize this yesterday. Others constantly conplain about what they &lt;i&gt;don&apos;t&lt;/i&gt; have. I&apos;d rather stop thinking like that, and focus, and be thankful for what I &lt;u&gt;do&lt;/u&gt; have in my life! It&apos;s more than what others have, even if I may not be happy with the enviroment that I&apos;m in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I&apos;m wondering if I&apos;m a bit of a trendsetter these days. I do things, and word gets around. Next thing I know, I have 10 other people doing what I&apos;m doing. It&apos;s great, if I influence people, but it really surprises me.  It&apos;s cool, but in an odd way, to me. Oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I&apos;m focusing on Christmas. I think it will be a good one! :)</description>

  <title>Thanksgiving</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/76814.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;m so excited! I think I&apos;m about as excited, as a child the day before Christmas! LOL!  &lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m ready to cook a nice Thanksgiving dinner for my family. Nothing too much. Just a small turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole! Yum! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just baked a chocolate cake, and have a pumpkin pie, for tomorrow!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m ready for Thanksgiving! Bring on the goodies! :)</description>

  <title>I won&apos;t get fooled again!</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/76697.html</link>
  <description>Why do people feel the need in hiding behind fake site accounts, and contact people, when they can&apos;t just be upfront and honest about it from the get-go?! Seriously! This is pathetic! &lt;br /&gt;I know why they are trying to contact me.  If they lived more exciting, more productive lives, then they wouldn&apos;t have time to, or feel the need in, having to sneek around find out what&apos;s going on with me. LOL! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s not bothering me, because I&apos;m going to keep going on living my life, and doing my own thing. Honestly folks, it&apos;s not all that exciting. But to those who don&apos;t have a life, I can see where trying to contact, and befriend, me through fake accounts and all, would be a step up from their boring, miserable lives! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not upset about it. I think it&apos;s amusing, if anything! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ll only start getting worried when they give up trying to contact me.  Then, that means that I won&apos;t be important to anyone anymore.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aw shucks.</description>

  <title>Coming clean. The past is history!</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/76538.html</link>
  <description>I feel like I&apos;ve gone through a lot in these past few years.  I&apos;ve had my fair share of ups and downs.  I&apos;ve had a lot of good times with friends, and I&apos;ve lost people, who I thought were friends along the way.  At the time, I didn&apos;t understand why it happened, but today I know that it happens. It hurt at the time, but time heals all wounds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;What doesn&apos;t kill you, only makes you stronger.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So true.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times when I look back on things, and wonder &quot;what went wrong?&quot; What really happened?  I don&apos;t know.  If I honestly knew, I would be more successful at making things work back then.  Or maybe it wasn&apos;t me.  Maybe it was the other person(s) involved.  For whatever the reason, there are times when I want to reach out to certain people, as if to say &lt;i&gt;&quot;To Hell with the past! It&apos;s all irrelevant! Let&apos;s let bygones be bygones!&quot;&lt;/i&gt;  But then I have to stop, and ask myself &lt;i&gt;&quot;Would it really be worth it?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;  Do I honestly want to throw caution to the wind, and persue picking up where it was left off?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly?  No.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t want to go back to the way things were.  They weren&apos;t that great for me, personally.  A part of it was the people I used to associate with.  But another part of it was me, for allowing them to take control.  I was blind to what was really going on around me to see that it was all just an illusion created with &quot;smoke and mirrors&quot;.  Nothing was what it seemed.  Not everyone is on the level, either. Had I been stronger, I would have realized this false front, and not have bought into it hook, line, and sinker.  But I take fault for that.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing I take responsibility for, is feeling the need in having to control others.  While I realize that I do influence a lot of people out there without realizing it, I&apos;ve also learned that you can&apos;t control who others are friends with.  It&apos;s their right to be friends with whomever they choose, even if you may not like their choices.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT...I can control who I&apos;m friends with!  If I feel uncomfortable around people who are associated with those I don&apos;t like, I don&apos;t have to be friends with that person.  I don&apos;t to associate with them at all. I&apos;ve chosen in the past to keep a distance from them, or just cut them off completely, along with the person I don&apos;t like, and with whom their associating themselves with.  It works for me! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I know there are some people out there, who will read this, and know what I&apos;m talking about. They&apos;ll say that I &quot;won&apos;t let things go&quot;.  Let them think what they will.  I am keeping myself guarded, because of them, and their past actions.  I know in all honesty, it&apos;s them who won&apos;t let things go. I have dealt with the problem, and have moved on, and have moved forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the unhappiness, pain, and anguish they&apos;ve caused me in the past, this is why I will not allow myself to feel comfortable with resolving things with them.  I wish I felt differently about this, but the situations (and they, themselves) are what (and who) they are. You can&apos;t change people.  They are who they are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve taken away a lot from my past experiences, and I&apos;m applying it for future reference.  I&apos;m not going to sit around dwelling on these things all the time, as certain people may think.  I do think about what&apos;s happened from time to time, and wish things (and people) were different. But they&apos;re not.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, some things are better left in the past.  Moving on. Moving forward.</description>

  <title>&quot;Pity Party of One, Please!!&quot;</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/76159.html</link>
  <description>If I hear &lt;i&gt;&quot;I&apos;m so depressed.&quot; &quot;I hate it here!&quot;&lt;/i&gt; one more time, I&apos;ll fucking scream! I&apos;ve been listening to this for a couple of years now, and it&apos;s getting old, has been old, and a lot of other people are tired of hearing it, as well!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, instead of constantly complaining about how unhappy you are, try doing something about it! If you don&apos;t like where you live, and you&apos;re honestly as unhappy as you claim, MOVE OUT ON YOUR OWN!!! &lt;b&gt;Instead of spending thousands of dollars, and going away on trips to another country, how about using that money to find a place of your own?&lt;/b&gt; That would be the most logical, mature, thing to do! Maybe you don&apos;t want to get a job, work to live out on your own, and be happier.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I honestly believe that some people would rather complain about it, get the attention that they want, and need, and do nothing. I have came to the conclusion that there are certain people out there, who are happy with being unhappy! They are in their own, little pity party, and are looking to others to join them there! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of feeling blessed, they feel like they have it unfairly. Ummm...let me inform you, there are people out there in the world who have it 10X worse than you do! They don&apos;t have a place to live, and are really homeless. They don&apos;t have enough to eat, if anything at all. They don&apos;t have family. They have nobody. So, if you have all of these things, and still aren&apos;t happy, then have all of this taken away from you! Then tell me how you have it! &lt;br /&gt;If you&apos;re not careful, you just may end up really as unhappy as you are claiming to be now! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am angry because I know the person this is directed to does NOT have it bad. They are blessed in more ways than other people are, and yet, they take it all for granted.  They have more than anyone else, if the truth be known. But they&apos;re pissing it all away, and wallowing in self pity, and losing everything.  Maybe this is the only way they&apos;ll ever learn about life, and to learn to be happy with what you have, instead of what you don&apos;t.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The grass isn&apos;t always greener on the other side.</description>

  <title>Excuse me while I pass on the excitement of Hulk Hogan joining TNA!!!</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/75874.html</link>
  <description>Here we go again...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cupping of the ear, going from side to side, to side to side, of the ring, hearing the fans explode in applause.  Let&apos;s hear it again!   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about &lt;b&gt;let&apos;s not&lt;/b&gt;! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I must be one of the few, who aren&apos;t all that excited in hearing the news that Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff joining TNA.  I know there are others out there, who are disappointed, as I am upon hearing this.  We&apos;re all asking ourselves, and each other, &quot;Why?&quot; &lt;br /&gt;My philosophy is &lt;i&gt;&quot;If it&apos;s not broke, why fix it?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TNA has always prided itself as being an alternative, and different from the norm.  They have a 6 sided ring, which is different from your standard 4 sided ring. TNA has great talent that they showcase, which is an extremely refreshing idea from the usual top stars we see week after week on other wrestling programs.  The other wrestling programs have become too predictable, and the wrestlers themselves seemed to have forgotten their fans along the way.  I&apos;m not blaming ALL wrestlers, just most of them, and we all know who they are.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from the predictability in wrestling, fans want to be able to connect with wrestlers they see out there each and every week.  This is what sets TNA apart from WWE.  This is why the fans are gravitating more towards TNA and indy shows, rather than spend their hard earned money on wrestling that is mainstream, and the norm.  Fans are treated with meeting their favorite wrestlers after the show in TNA, and they know they&apos;ll walk away knowing they&apos;ve got their money&apos;s worth, and more, afterwards.  Maybe this is something WWE could learn from TNA. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TNA has always been great about showcasing their talent on the roster, and promoting the cruiserweights in the X-Division matches.  This is something everyone enjoys, because you get to see the wrestlers, who aren&apos;t necessarily big men, going out there and giving it their all, and putting on great matches.  WWE has focused it&apos;s attention on the bigger men, and bigger draws strictly for drawing in more crowds. More crowds, more money.  Money is what it&apos;s all about anymore.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since when did wrestling become a business?  Since when has the almighty dollar taken over?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well now it seems as if TNA has caught on to this.  Now they&apos;ve went and signed Hulk Hogan to their organization, much to everyone&apos;s surprise, and to some people&apos;s dismay.  Everyone who has been into wrestling, or has heard of it, knows Hulk Hogan.  He&apos;s become a household name back in the late 80&apos;s when Wrestlemania was born.  Hogan has been instrumental in getting wrestling recognition, and the attention it properly deserves. Thanks to Hogan, he has paved the way for younger wrestlers such as Triple H, Randy Orton, John Cena, and all the others who are in wrestling now.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hogan was great in his prime, but times have changed.  That was then, this is now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now in TNA, you see great talent like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, and others who founded TNA.  Plus, there are great tag teams such as Beer Money (Robert Roode and James Storm), Lethal Consequences (Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed), as well as others.  I&apos;ve always loved watching these guys go out there in the ring, and put on great matches! That&apos;s why I got interested in TNA, for the alternative from what I&apos;ve been seeing week in, and week out, on WWE! I see great talent, and great matches. As a true wrestling fan, who could argue with that?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now, this week we hear that Hulk Hogan (someone from 2 decades ago) coming back and being added to an already incredible roster!  It wouldn&apos;t be so bad, but we all remember what happened in WCW, and how Hogan took over, and how Bischoff failed to keep things going there.  It became a glorified &quot;Hulk Hogan Main Attraction&quot; show! The younger talent was kept down, while the bigger names dominated the shows and top title spots.  &lt;br /&gt;I can&apos;t help but be concerned to think what are TNA&apos;s roster thinking about Hogan joining their wrestling organization. I feel bad for these talented young guys, because I feel that they&apos;ll be tossed to the wayside, while Hogan takes over the damn programs again!  &lt;br /&gt;Hearing the color commentators keep saying &lt;i&gt;&quot;I wonder how Hulk Hogan joining TNA will effect the entire TNA roster...&quot;&lt;/i&gt; gives me more of a more uneasy feeling, too.  Why would they say that, if it weren&apos;t true?  You know it will effect everyone! &lt;br /&gt;Has TNA not seen what happened with WCW?  Do they not think that this is what could happen to their wrestling organization in the future?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL IS TNA THINKING???  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, excuse me while I pass on the excitement of Hulk Hogan joining TNA!  I believe that, given Hogan&apos;s past history, it will repeat itself! Don&apos;t believe me?  Just watch and see for yourself what happens!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone care to venture a guess on how long it will take Hogan to get a title shot?</description>

  <title>Woman who was kidnapped at 11 is found after 18 years of being held against her will.</title>

  <description>It&apos;s a damn shame that this crap goes on in this sick, sick world! I can only hope that this woman, her kids, and anyone else who ever has to go through this, somehow is able to lead normal lives again. &lt;br /&gt;It boggles my mind to think that this man, who is so damn ugly that he&apos;s gotta sneak upon water just to get a damn drink, was even married!! His wife is not only stupid, but she must be blind, too! Personally, I believe Helen Keller would have had better taste in men...but then again, Garrido isn&apos;t a man at all! Sick, twisted nasty bastard!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://shar.es/MZab&quot;&gt;Police Enter Kidnapping Crime Scene With Shovels, Chainsaws - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted using &lt;a href=&quot;http://sharethis.com&quot;&gt;ShareThis&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>Just a few quick thoughts...</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/75240.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s August. I&apos;m here in Texas. It&apos;s 100 degrees, and hotter than Hell!  I hate it, but thankfully I&apos;m keeping cool in my house with the air condititioning going.  I think it should be mandatory for ac units to be in &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;every&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; home in Texas, with the summers being so hot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This summer has really been a good one for me. I have been reunited with more of my family members in the past couple of months, than I have in years! How sad is that? It&apos;s been nice visiting, and catching up, with them.  I miss my family.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I&apos;ve been reunited with family, I&apos;ve also been re-connecting with friends.  It&apos;s been nice chatting, and catching up, with them too.  I know there&apos;s been a lot of good times in the past, and that will always be cherished and remembered.  Sad to say, I&apos;m not really connected with everyone from my past.  I feel that everyone has gone their own separate ways, and are doing their own things now.  That&apos;s a part of life, and it happens to everyone.  You either grow with, or grow apart from, people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While there are times when I&apos;d like to throw caution to the wind, and let by-gones be &quot;by gones&quot;, I know that the minute I drop my guard, I&apos;ll regret it.  If there&apos;s one thing I&apos;ve learned from my past, is that it&apos;s best to let things (and people) go.  I don&apos;t want it coming back and biting me on the ass, which I know as sure as I&apos;m sitting here typing this blog up, that it will.  It&apos;s just best to let sleeping dogs lie.  &lt;br /&gt;Besides...what can be said and done to change anything?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve discovered a new passion for cooking! I&apos;ve been watching the Food Network Channel, and have even created some dishes and recipes of my own! It&apos;s fun and exciting to discover new things, and create delicious meals that everyone will enjoy! That&apos;s what makes me happy. :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time to go and take care of chores.  Oh, what fun! LOL!</description>

  <title>Happy Reunions...</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/74913.html</link>
  <description>Wow! What a surprise this past weekend has been for me! I just found out on Friday night that my sister, Michelle, and her family were on their way to Oklahoma and Texas to visit family! I broke down and cried tears of joy for over an hour! I couldn&apos;t believe it! I haven&apos;t seen my sister in a few years, and this was nice! I couldn&apos;t wait to see her, and finally they arrived at mom&apos;s around noon today.  I&apos;ve been spending the afternoon with them, and will be seeing her in a few days.  They&apos;re going to spend a few days with mom, then spend some time with me, and then go on to San Antonio to see Jeff&apos;s grandma, before heading back home. I don&apos;t want to see them go back, and wish they could stay longer.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m so happy! I&apos;ve been reunited with 14 of my family members within the past month and a half! These are family members (some of them) who I haven&apos;t seen in 13 years, or so! Well, I&apos;ve seen my sister a few years back, so it&apos;s not so bad. It&apos;s bad enough that she lives so far away from me, though.  &lt;br /&gt;But I&apos;m just happy to have the opportunity to be reunited with my family.  What a great month and a half this has been!</description>

  <title>Doing what I can, as best as I can...</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/74548.html</link>
  <description>*sighs* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These past 24 hours has been busy for me.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a phone call from my Uncle George, who&apos;s up in Oklahoma visiting with my mom for a week. My mom brought him back from Houston (where he lives), in hopes of somehow getting him up there, and taking his mind off of things and what not. He called me, and wanted me to come up there for a visit.  It&apos;s only an hour and a half away, so I wasn&apos;t going to say &quot;no&quot; to this opportunity for a visit with him.  So I packed my overnight bag, along with some food to cook for them, and headed up there late in the afternoon yesterday, and I stayed til later on this afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;Even though it was only for 24 hours, it still was worth it.  I wish I could have stayed longer, but I have cats, who have to be fed, and can&apos;t be left for long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went fishing with my uncle yesterday evening.  I don&apos;t fish. At all.  The only thing I catch is a cold, or bad luck! LOL!  Well, I made an exception for George.  I even caught a couple of small fish, which thrilled my Uncle George! He had to capture that moment on film! Yep! He&apos;s got a pic of me holding up that small fish that I caught! LOL!  Memories. I love that one. For sure! LOL!  (Oh, we had to release the little guy. He was too small.  So was the second one I caught after that one.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stayed up late last night visiting as much as possible, which was nice.  But I also was up at odd hours of the night, worried about my uncle.  He would doze off for a little while, but couldn&apos;t really get a good restful sleep being in pain and discomfort because of his lung cancer.  I really hate to see my uncle suffer with that crap. Granted, I hate having to see any human suffering of any kind.  But it&apos;s worse when it&apos;s your family, too.  After he took his meds, he was able to go back to sleep.  I slept for a few hours, and was up at 7:30am. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did I mention that I am NOT a morning person?  I don&apos;t &quot;do&quot; mornings.  LOL!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got up at 7:30am with my mom.  She was getting ready to go to work, and I was visiting with her before she left.  I cooked breakfast, hoping that my uncle would eat, but he didn&apos;t.  I ended up eating breakfast.  Something very rare for me.  &lt;br /&gt;After my mom went to work, I went to work on doing some chores for her around her house.  I washed 5 loads of her laundry, swept and mopped her kitchen floor (and the laundry room), stripped the sheets on the bed my uncle was supposed to be sleeping on, and did all this before she returned 4 hours later.  Then I cooked a nice dinner for my mom, her boyfriend, and my uncle (who was still sleeping when I left).  Came back home at 7pm, and showered and have been resting and relaxing since then. I&apos;ll be crashing before long, and getting a good, night&apos;s sleep without the aid of any sleeping pills tonight. Thank God! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mom was glad that I helped her out, which I didn&apos;t mind at all.  I didn&apos;t have anything else to do, and she needed help around the house anyway.  I know she&apos;s stressed out, and worried, as everyone else is about George.  I hate seeing him like this.  He&apos;s in bad shape, but I hope that he&apos;s somehow able to pull through this, and hopefully live a bit longer.  It just doesn&apos;t look good though. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He&apos;s just 3 years older than I am. Damn.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All we can do for now is what we can, as best as we can.  Somehow we&apos;ll get through this.</description>

  <title>Wrestling ramblings...</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/74277.html</link>
  <description>First of all...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;red&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Happy 4th&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;blue&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;of July!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, onto my wrestling ramblings:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I just heard that &lt;b&gt;Edge&lt;/b&gt; got injured at a house show this weekend.  I&apos;m hoping and praying that it&apos;s nothing serious, but reports say that he broke character, and had to be helped to the back.  I really hate hearing this, because I&apos;m enjoying watching him and Chris Jericho teaming up, and holding the tag team titles.  These two Canadians are doing quite well playing heels to the fullest. I guess all we can do is hope for the best, and hope to see him back in action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I just can&apos;t warm up to the idea of &lt;b&gt;CM Punk&lt;/b&gt; having the World Heavyweight championship title.  I am not a real, big fan of this guy, and feel that he needs proper manners when meeting the fans. (I&apos;m not faulting him entirely, because many fans need proper ettiquette when meeting wrestlers, as well.) I&apos;ve heard countless stories of people I know, who has met Punk, and have said that he was very rude to them.  Some of them I know who aren&apos;t rude at all to anybody, let alone a wrestler!  I feel that if Punk is carrying the title, then he should lighten up when it comes to the people who has supported him with what he&apos;s carrying around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I can&apos;t really say that I&apos;m into this fued between &lt;b&gt;John Cena&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;The Miz&lt;/b&gt;.  I don&apos;t know, I just don&apos;t see much chemistry there.  I still feel that Cena&apos;s one of the hardest working wrestlers on the WWE roster these days, whether you love him or hate him.  I think Cena ranks up there with Triple H. That says a lot, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I&apos;m glad to see &lt;b&gt;The New Hart Foundation&lt;/b&gt; getting much deserved recognition, airtime, and all! This is an exciting new tag team on the scene, and I&apos;m lovin&apos; these guys!  I loved their match against Cryme Tyme on Smackdown last Friday night! That was a good match. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* It&apos;s good to see the &lt;b&gt;ECW&lt;/b&gt; roster getting some fresh, new talent.  I still can&apos;t understand why &lt;b&gt;Christian&lt;/b&gt; is on ECW instead of Smackdown, or RAW.  I&apos;m real surprised that RAW didn&apos;t snatch him up! They get just about everyone else, so why not another one?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that&apos;s all for now.  I hope everyone has a good, fun, safe, and happy 4th!</description>

  <title>Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009)</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/73753.html</link>
  <description>This morning we lost Farrah Fawcett. Now this afternoon we learn that Michael Jackson is gone, as well.  He died of heart failure at the age of 50.  This is a sad day. :( &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;(&lt;br /&gt;CBS/ AP)Last updated at 6:51 p.m. EDT &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Los Angeles Times. The entertainment Web site TMZ.com is also reporting his death. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jackson was rushed to UCLA Medical Center, reports KCBS in Los Angeles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jackson was not breathing when paramedics arrived. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Capt. Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a call at Jackson&apos;s home around 12:26 p.m. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told The Los Angeles Times. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The emergency entrance at the UCLA Medical Center, which is near Jackson&apos;s rented home, was roped off Thursday with police tape. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;News trucks were gathered, helicopters flew overhead, and orange cones were laid out to redirect traffic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;We have no statements as far as transporting Michael Jackson,&apos;&apos; Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Devin Gales said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jackson, 50, has been in the public eye for more than 40 years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With his unforgettable catchy Jackson Five tunes and incredible stage presence, the public has been infatuated with the shining child star turned awkward adult, who reached international superstardom. As soon as Jackson glided across the stage with his signature moonwalk dance, it was all over from there - fans were immediately hooked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His album &quot;Thriller,&quot; released in 1982, was a chart-topper that set the bar for pop music. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent years, however, the pop icon has become more of a recluse and somewhat of a lost soul. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Headlines about Jackson were no longer about his music; instead there were stories of plastic surgery and strange behavior. He dangled his baby from a balcony and most damaging to his image was his 2005 trial for child molestation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker reports that Jackson&apos;s 1982 album, &quot;Thriller&quot; still is the top-selling album of all time, and Jackson was the top performer in the world through much of the 1980s. But somewhere along the way, Jackson went from the King of Pop to Wacko Jacko. Some say it started with an accident during the filming of a TV commercial that burned his scalp severely and led to a dependence on prescription pain killers. He became an increasingly reclusive and odd figure. He was married briefly to Elvis Presley&apos;s daughter, then to his skin doctor&apos;s assistant. He was a father of three, despite ongoing speculation that they could not be his natural children. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The King of Pop had been plagued by financial, legal, and medical woes for years and had not performed a major concert since 2001. His last studio album was released the same year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A previous attempt to relaunch Jackson&apos;s career collapsed amid reports of ill health and court action. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent years, there have been several sightings of Jackson looking frail. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2005 during his molestation trial, he famously appeared in pajamas after being rushed to the hospital, one of four such visits during the trial. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jackson has kept a largely low profile in recent years but in March, he announced he would perform a series of London concerts scheduled for July.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</description>

  <title>Farrah Fawcett (1947-2009)</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/73697.html</link>
  <description>Cancer effects us all, whether directly or indirctly. I pray for a cure for this deadly disease, to spare those left to suffer through to the very end. I pray an end to the human suffering to this killer, who strikes young and old. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farrah Fawcett, who was best known for her role in Charlie&apos;s Angels, was one of many who suffered through, and fought this to the very end.  Her courage and strength set an example to many who are battling this, as well.  My heart, thoughts, and prayers goes out to her surviving family.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RIP Farrah. You were courageous in your battle with this disease. You will be remembered in our hearts forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Footnote:&lt;/b&gt; My uncle George is battling Stage 3 of Lung Cancer. Please pray for him, as well as the family. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please pray for those who have lost loved ones to cancer, as well as the ones who are currently battling it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you.</description>

  <title>*rolling my eyes* The news is ridiculous and stupid!</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/72450.html</link>
  <description>I very rarely watch the news anymore, because it&apos;s too violent and depressing, in my opinion.  Every time you tune in and watch the news, you hear of death, murder, robbery, and anything bad and brings you down.  I usually opt to watch the weather to see what it will most likely be like in the forecast.  &lt;br /&gt;Today I was watching the news, and on there was a clip of President Obama being interviewed.  During the interview, an annoying fly was buzzing around, causing diruption.  President Obama swatted and killed it in one, fail swoop when it landed. That&apos;s what any of us would do as well, since flies are annoying! Then I heard on the news that People for the Ethecal Treatment of Animals are planning on sending the president a bug device to keep them away, instead of killing them.  Appearently they got upset for our president killing a fly. This no joke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For fuck&apos;s sake, what in the hell has our world come to, when a group of people get offended over the nation&apos;s leader killing an annoying incect, as any of us would do?!?!  What&apos;s next?  The death penalty?  Come on, people! Haven&apos;t we gone too far with this?  Geez!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;*          *          *          *          *          *          *          *&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something else I&apos;m having to roll my eyes at in disgust is another thing I seen after the news, on Access Hollywood.  A reporter asked former American Idol contestant, Adam Lambert, if he felt that his sexual orientation was the cause of him losing.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Hears the scratch of the needle going across a record)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excuse me, but who determines someone sexual orientation as if they&apos;re worthy of being declared talented, or not, and if they are worthy of winning a contest?  Why would something as personal as this, even be an issue?  This is someone&apos;s personal and private choice, and I don&apos;t feel that it should determine if they, or anyone out there, base that on their talent regardless of what it may be!  Whether or not, anyone agrees with their choices or not, it shouldn&apos;t matter.  What does matter is their talent.  Bottom line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man. I tell ya, the further we go with technology and science, the more limited our intelligence gets!  Instead of learning about what we were taught in our religious backgrounds (whatever it may be), we still hate.  I&apos;ve learned not to hate the sinner, but hate the sin. I&apos;m not going to get all religious on you, but this is something for people to think about.</description>

  <title>Just some quick thoughts...</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/72345.html</link>
  <description>* I&apos;ve recently discovered an interest, and passion, for cooking!  I watch the Food Network Channel at a certain time of the day for this one show.  The Barefoot Contessa has captivated my interest since the first time I watched the show!  Ina Garten makes it look so fun, and easy! Since watching this show, I&apos;ve been wanting to find her cookbooks. I looked at the bookstores, and seen how much they were, but I can&apos;t really afford to go crazy on spending money on getting them right now.  So, as an alternative, I went to the Half Priced Bookstore, to see if they had any there.  Appearently she&apos;s very popular at this time, because there were none to be found on the shelves!  I seen some others I was familiar with on the Food Network Channel, but I wasn&apos;t as interested in getting theirs, as much as I was Ina Garten&apos;s.  Besides, the practical side of me was saying &quot;You&apos;ve already got 3 cookboks at home! Why would you want to buy another right now?&quot;.  &lt;br /&gt;My practical side won this debate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to try something new last night.  Origionally, I wanted to try this on chicken, but didn&apos;t have any in my freezer at the moment.  Instead, I used some boneless pork chops.  I thought up spices that I wanted to try, and what I wanted to do, and so I did it!  The spicy pork chops turned out great, and were more tender than I thought they would be!  I was surprised at how well this turned out, without any recipes! &lt;br /&gt;I have been known to cook, and bake, stuff without using a recipe.  I baked a chocolate cake once, without a recipe.  It turned out really good, and moist!  I wish I would have wrote down what I did! Now I can&apos;t remember how I made it.  Oh well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Recently, a couple of my friends started reminiscing about the fun times from the past.  Our little group did have some fun times, and it was great while it lasted! But time goes on, people change and grow, and have other things going on, and soon you find yourself living your own life, and doing your own thing. I&apos;m still having fun times of my own, and I&apos;m loving it!  I think I&apos;ve had more fun times these past couple of years, than I have previously.  &lt;br /&gt;Sure, I miss the people, who I used to have fun times with.  But I would be reluctant to do it again.  Transgressions of the past have been resolved, and people I&apos;ve had problems with in the past, is over.  It&apos;s done.  I&apos;ve moved on, and I&apos;m sure they have, as well.  I don&apos;t wish any ill will towards them, but do wish them well in the future.  &lt;br /&gt;Moving on. Moving forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* I&apos;ve met a lot of pretty, cool and really nice people in the past year, or so.  I&apos;ve been really surprised at how well I&apos;ve hit it off, and have bonded, with!  That just goes to prove that you just never know who you&apos;ll end up being friends with! &lt;br /&gt;While I have met some great people out there, I&apos;ve also been unimpressed with some who I don&apos;t really know.  It&apos;s sad to say, but I just don&apos;t care much for certain people. I think the biggest reason being is what they&apos;ve said, and done, on mutual friends pages, and how they&apos;ve presented themselves that&apos;s made me reach this conclusion.  I&apos;m sure that they&apos;re nice and all, but they&apos;re just kids, who have a lot of growing up to do.  They don&apos;t fully understand responsibilty, because it&apos;s quite obvious that they don&apos;t have any at all. That was great and all when you were still living with your parents at home, and you were under the age of 18.  But when you get older than that, it&apos;s time to grow up. &lt;br /&gt;I guess when those kids stop living in their fantasy worlds, get out on their own and experience life at a hardcore level, have some setbacks and deal with life head on, get some depth to their character, and mature...then I might be able to connect with them on some kind of level.&lt;br /&gt;There&apos;s a lot to be said for depth of character, even though there are a lot of bullshit artists out there in the world! Fickle, superficial people, who only live for the moment, and are self absorbed. With that being said, is it any wonder why I don&apos;t get along with many people?  &lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m surprised to find that the people I&apos;m friends with, are friends with them! All my friends (both new ones, as well as older ones) are mature, responsible people, who I can relate to, and connect with.  I don&apos;t know how they are able to connect with these people, who live in their own, little dream worlds, but they do. I guess they must have a more stronger tolerance level with them, than I would! LOL! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* It might say on the calenders that Summer is June 21st, but it&apos;s already here, as far as I&apos;m concerned! I&apos;m dreading what it will be like in August and September, the hottest time of the year for my area. I know it&apos;s going to be a brutal summer. I think I&apos;ll stay indoors! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that&apos;s about all for now. I hope everyone&apos;s doing well, and keeping cool! I know I am, and will be throughout the summer!</description>

  <title>Funny Jokes to share...</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/72036.html</link>
  <description>&lt;b&gt;A man breaks into a house to look for money and guns. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside, he finds couple in bed. He orders the guy out of the &lt;br /&gt;bed and ties him to a chair. While tying the homeowner&apos;s &lt;br /&gt;wife to the bed the convict gets on top of her, kisses her &lt;br /&gt;neck, then gets up &amp; goes into the bathroom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While he&apos;s in there, the husband whispers over to his &lt;br /&gt;wife: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&apos;Listen, this guy is an escaped convict.. Look at his &lt;br /&gt;clothes! He&apos;s probably spent a lot of time in jail and &lt;br /&gt;hasn&apos;t seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your &lt;br /&gt;neck. If he wants sex, don&apos;t resist, don&apos;t complain...do &lt;br /&gt;what ever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he &lt;br /&gt;nauseates you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If &lt;br /&gt;he gets angry, he&apos;ll kill us both. Be strong, honey. &lt;br /&gt;I love you!&apos; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His wife responds: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&apos;He wasn&apos;t kissing my neck. He was whispering &lt;br /&gt;in my ear. He told me that he&apos;s gay, thinks you&apos;re &lt;br /&gt;cute, and asked if we had any Vaseline. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told him it was in the bathroom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be strong honey. I love you too.&apos;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;*          *          *          *          *          *          *          *          *          *&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;In Louisiana , this fella, Boudreaux, had a bad vehicle accident, caused&lt;br /&gt;by a truck. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In court, the trucking company&apos;s fancy lawyer was questioning Boudreaux:&lt;br /&gt;Didn&apos;t you say, at the scene of the accident, &quot;I&apos;m fine&quot;? the&lt;br /&gt;lawyer&lt;br /&gt;asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boudreaux responded, &quot;Let me told you what happened. Me, I had jus &lt;br /&gt;loaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into da . . &quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn&apos;t ask for any details,&quot; the lawyer interrupted. &quot;Just&lt;br /&gt;answer the&lt;br /&gt;question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, &quot;I&apos;m&lt;br /&gt;fine!&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boudreaux said, &quot;I had jus got Bessie into da trailer and I was driving&lt;br /&gt;down da road . . .&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lawyer interrupted again and! said , &quot;Judge, I am trying to &lt;br /&gt;establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the&lt;br /&gt;Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several&lt;br /&gt;weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is&lt;br /&gt;a fraud. Please tell him to answer the question.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Boudreaux&apos;s answer and&lt;br /&gt;said to the lawyer, &quot;I&apos;d like to hear what he has to say about his&lt;br /&gt;favorite mule, Bessie.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boudreaux thanked the Judge and proceeded, &quot;I had just loaded Bessie, my&lt;br /&gt;favorite mule, into da trailer and was driving her down da highway when&lt;br /&gt;dis huge semi-truck and trailer ran da stop sign and smacked my truck&lt;br /&gt;right in da side. Me, I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown&lt;br /&gt;into da udder.. I was hurting, real bad and didn&apos;t want to move at tall.&lt;br /&gt;But, I could herd ole Bessie moanin and groanin. Me, I knew she was in&lt;br /&gt;some kind o&apos; terrible shape just by her groans.&lt;br /&gt;Shortly after da accident, a Highway Patrolman, he came on da scene. He&lt;br /&gt;herd Bessie moanin&apos; and groanin&apos; so, him, he went over ta her. After he&lt;br /&gt;took hisself a look at her, he took out his gun and shot her between da&lt;br /&gt;eyes. Den da Patrolman came cross da road, gun in hand, and looked at&lt;br /&gt;me, and said &apos;How are you feeling?&apos;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Now what da heck would you say?!&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;*          *          *          *          *          *          *          *          *          *&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;25 Things my mother taught me:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

  <title>R.I.P. David Carradine (1936-2009)</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/71757.html</link>
  <description>I can&apos;t believe he died.  I used to watch him in the tv series &quot;Kung Fu&quot;.  Most recently, he was in one of my favorite movies &quot;Kill Bill Vol 1 &amp; 2&quot; as Bill.  This is my favorite scene of Vol 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;lj-embed id=&quot;31&quot; /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Actor David Carradine found dead in Bangkok&lt;br /&gt;June 4, 2009, 9:10 AM EST&lt;br /&gt;BANGKOK (AP) -- Actor David Carradine, star of the 1970s TV series &quot;Kung Fu&quot; who also had a wide-ranging career in the movies, has been found dead in the Thai capital, Bangkok. A news report said he was found hanged in his hotel room and was believed to have committed suicide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, Michael Turner, confirmed the death of the 72-year-old actor. He said the embassy was informed by Thai authorities that Carradine died either late Wednesday or early Thursday, but he could not provide further details out of consideration for his family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Web site of the Thai newspaper The Nation cited unidentified police sources as saying Carradine was found Thursday hanged in his luxury hotel room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It said Carradine was in Bangkok to shoot a movie and had been staying at the hotel since Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The newspaper said Carradine could not be contacted after he failed to appear for a meal with the rest of the film crew on Wednesday, and that his body was found by a hotel maid at 10 a.m. Thursday morning. The name of the movie was not immediately available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It said a preliminary police investigation found that he had hanged himself with a cord used with the room&apos;s curtains. It cited police as saying he had been dead at least 12 hours and there was no sign that he had been assaulted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A police officer at Bangkok&apos;s Lumpini precinct station would not confirm the identity of the dead man, but said the luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park hotel had reported that a male guest killed himself there.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David Carradine will be missed.</description>

  <title>The latest release is....</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/71524.html</link>
  <description>Ken Kennedy.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The WWE has done it again.  Seriously, it doesn&apos;t surprise me anymore.  They&apos;ve released another good talent from their roster.  This is why I don&apos;t get into the WWE as much as I used to.  Everyone I have been interested in has gone, or has been released.&lt;br /&gt;It sucks.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish Ken all the best.</description>

  <title>A matter of trust.</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/71420.html</link>
  <description>I used to be a people person. I loved meeting people, and getting to know, and making friends with them.  But the more I&apos;ve met people, the more they&apos;ve let me down time and time again.  What they&apos;ve done outweights more than what they&apos;ve said.  I have basically learned to just take what people say with a grain of salt, and go on.  I&apos;m sure they mean well, but most of the time, they&apos;ve either have said, or done, something to make me not want to persue any kind of connection with them at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I&apos;m not trying to sound mean, but I do feel that most people are full of shit.  They come at people with stuff that they say, to try to impress upon everyone how important they feel they are, and feel that you should agree with them (that they are important).  Well, 99% of the time I don&apos;t. They&apos;re full of themselves, and are too self centered to look at the big picture, or pay any attention to anyone outside of themselves. That&apos;s really sad, too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve learned to sit back and observe, and just be watchful.  I&apos;ve learned who&apos;s on the level, and who&apos;s not.  I&apos;ve also learned which kinds of people to watch out for, which is most of the population here on earth! Sad, but true.  Because of what I&apos;ve been through with people, I&apos;ve learned not to be so open, and trusting, with people.  Most of the time, you trust people and they betray you in some ways.  It happens to everyone, every single day.  It shows a lack of character to those who betray others, but to those it happens to (like myself) it builds character.  You learn from your mistakes (in trusting people), and move on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve seen people, who I don&apos;t really know, who I thought would be really cool.  I&apos;m sure these people are great, nice, and all, but I&apos;ve always had apprehension about reaching out to them. Most of the time, something happens to prove my intuition right.  This is why I keep closely guarded anymore.  I feel it&apos;s not worth the risk in getting involved with people, when they&apos;re not trustworthy, and have proven that even before you&apos;ve gotten involved with them!  This is where watching and observing has really become beneficial to, and has saved, me many, many times.  But this isn&apos;t exactly limited to the people who I don&apos;t know.  This also goes for the people I do know, who I may feel aren&apos;t on the level with me.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not being paranoid. I&apos;m being smart, observant, and closely guarded.  I&apos;ve learned it pays to be.</description>

  <title>Attack of the allergies!!!</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/71118.html</link>
  <description>What is in the air that is causing my allergies to act up? Just before I went to bed last night, I started getting stopped up. I think there&apos;s something in the air that&apos;s wrecking havoc on my sinuses! I think this is the time of year, when it hits! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s almost summer.  I&apos;m NOT looking forward to the hot temps to come here in TX! For anyone living here, they know how hot it gets.  I think air condititing should be mandatory for this state! UGH! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than my allergies acting up, life is good! :)</description>

  <title>Is it in WHO you know, or WHO you are?</title>
  <link>http://cher-75074.livejournal.com/70727.html</link>
  <description>What&apos;s more important to you:  Is it all in WHO you know? Or, is it WHO you are that&apos;s more important?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel that this world is a really, messed up place.  Everyone is feeling as they don&apos;t meausure up to the next person, and feels the need in having to display a certain quality, in order to make them feel accepted. Even I have had moments where I&apos;ve felt like this. I&apos;ve seen this in various forms, and have just about heard it all!  But the one thing that has really stood out in my mind here lately is there are certain people out there, who feel that it&apos;s all important to be friends with someone who&apos;s status is more than they are.  Regardless of who it is, I&apos;ve seen people literally put it out there that they&apos;re in good with these well-known people.  I guess they feel that if they wave a flag and screaming: &lt;i&gt;&quot;LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! I know, and I&apos;m friend with, so-and-so! I&apos;m cool!&quot;&lt;/i&gt; They feel it&apos;s really important to advertise this, as they feel that they&apos;re a part of an important clique, or something. Can they honestly say that these people, with whom their associated with, honestly cares about YOU, and who YOU really are? Just what exactly have these people done for you lately?  If you find yourself doing more for them, then they&apos;ve done for you, just how&apos;s this working out for YOU?  I believe in the &quot;give and take system&quot;, but when you do more giving them taking, something isn&apos;t working out. Time to back up and assess the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m a geniunely friendly person, who likes meeting people, and loves diversity.  As I&apos;ve stated above (which I admitted), I have wanted to feel the need in fitting in with certain groups and cliques.  I realize now that it&apos;s next to impossible, and the people I want to get to know, are just too self absorbed to honestly care about anyone, but themselves! Do I want to continue trying to get to know these types of people...the ones who could give a shit less about me, who I really am, and all? Should I keep trying to fit in with people who, pay attention when it&apos;s convenient for them, when YOU do something for them, and only then? HELL NO!  It&apos;s quite appearent to me that they can&apos;t see past themselves to see others, and don&apos;t care.  Why should I even bother, when they&apos;re too BLIND and STUPID?! Really. If you&apos;re too caught up in your own, little world and can&apos;t see past it to notice anyone, other than yourself, then I&apos;M choosing NOT to associate with YOU!  You&apos;re proving to the world that you&apos;re just out for yourself, and could care less about anyone else.  Anyone who wants to be associated with that is just as bad.  Who needs you guys?  I don&apos;t!  I&apos;d rather surround myself with good, wholesome, quality people who honestly see YOU for YOU, not for WHO you know, or what you can get from them.  I think this is why I&apos;m more selective now on who I associate with.  I&apos;ve learned that I have to be.  Otherwise I&apos;m going to be surrounding myself with strangers, who could care less if I live or die. Thanks, but no thanks! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&apos;s something to think about: &quot;What kind of person are YOU&quot;.  Is it all in who you know that makes you feel important?  Or is it YOU who is important? I feel that sooner or later they&apos;ll discover that it&apos;s not in WHO you know, it&apos;s in WHO you really are, that&apos;s important. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I&apos;d rather be noticed for WHO I am, not for WHO I know.&lt;/b&gt;</description>
