blondeyy Fake Friends Vs. Real Friends: Can you tell the difference? Sep 25, 2009 9:02 AM       Fake Friends Vs. Real Friends: Can You Tell the Difference? January 23, 2008 by Amnesty Alston     Living in a world filled with deceit and betrayal makes it hard for us to trust, therefore making it even harder for us to build friendships. Every time you look up, you see backstabbing unforgivable situations going on around you, or you've probably been through it yourself.  Life is all about taking risks because nothing is guaranteed to any of us.   So, How can you tell if a 'friend' is really a friend?   Are you being supported or renounced? When times get rough, everyone needs someone to lean on whether it is for emotional, mental or financial support. Times are hard right now and one day this may become the case for many of us. When you go to your friend, and they immediately say no, or act as if they can't help you with whatever situation has you down, would you call that a friend? True enough, some individuals may not be in the greatest financial state to help, but what about words of encouragement, or just being there for you to be able to vent your frustrations? These two ideas involve no money, and can help just as well. If you have a true friend, they immediately try to place themselves in your shoes. They want to feel your pain and be a part of the healing process. If they tend to blow your problems off, or act as if they don't see why you feel the way you do, you might want to question them as a friend.   Can you trust them to be around your closest family...or boy/girlfriend? This is the one thing many of us dread....being backstabbed by your best friend. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this situation happen to others in my lifetime. It's a very painful situation to have to watch someone go through...and even more painful when you're the one going through it. When your boy/girlfriend is in the same room with your best friend and you feel like you have to set up a video camera just to be able to leave the room to go to the restroom, you might want to question them as a friend, as well as the boy/girlfriend.      
blondeyy For you Dad, although you'll never hear... Sep 16, 2009 6:26 AM As soft winds sweep away the days I look back on my life through a haze. As though memories were just dreams, Never realizing what it all means.   Now I know it was all in my mind; A happy family – it was not mine.   The laughter in a game of catch, A memory that shall never reattach.   Drawing from my father an inner strength; And stubborn pride of equal length.   But then the line of fate was drawn; As though I blinked and you were gone .   I found myself alone and facing the sun; Not a woman, not a girl, a fatherless one.   Eyes blinded by a void inside; Feeling as if I had died.   Please, Dad, today just hear my call, I’m sorry that I dropped the ball.   My life is wrecked, my knees are skinned; My emotions desperately undisciplined.   I can’t get up, although I try, Please don’t be upset if I cry.   Though I fight a future I cannot see; Please, Dad, say you’re still proud of me.
blondeyy Be careful what you do online. Sep 6, 2009 6:30 AM Unfortunately, in this world of Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, camera phones, texting, etc., if you let someone into your virtual world - you have "let them in" to your world. My advice falls under the "Hindsight is 20/20" cliche unfortunately. If a person doesn't want "problems" like a 'fatal attraction'-type romance, then don't open the door to it. If you open the door, you must live with the consequences unfortunately. You will be the one who has to figure out how to end it - as you opened the door and let the person in.
Nyrina Windu Talk About Crabby* Jul 9, 2009 8:09 PM You know I was so crabby yesterday and I have no idea why. Life isn’t perfect but it’s still great for me. Now I will NOT take back any of the Michael Jackson comments I made yesterday. I had the day off and let him have it just like a lot of people did on here. Boy am I glad yesterday is over! You know I have noticed that since I backed off exercising each morning, I don’t feel I have the same amount of energy by the end of the day. I don’t stay up as late and my patience is a little shorter at work, not a lot but just a little. Maybe I should go back to my usual early exercising before I head out for the day. Anyway, today I felt great! Have you ever had a day when you woke up and everything in life was great but your mood, and almost everything irritates you?
JessieSP An Audi A8 was actually made out of SILVER! Tacky photo Jul 7, 2009 8:59 PM I just wanted to share this photo with you. I read that this Audi A8 was made in SILVER for a sheikh.....No, it's not silver in color. It is supposedly made out of silver. Hum, I still doubt this information. And who would ride around in something like this anyway? I don’t find it luxurious. I actually find it quite tacky.
