I never fantasized about my knight in shining armor, although I am much a princess.
I never imagined my wedding day.
I never doodled my name, adding the last name of some sought after beau to mine.
I didn't like relationships.
I hated being a girlfriend and found myself easily bored by boyfriends.
With a career high of 2 months being my longest relationship I entered into a courting on 06/15/06.
I had no doubt this would end the same as all the others, me disinterested and him broken hearted.
A few months in I even tried to force the termination. Why get attached when things will just end badly?
Somewhere between 06/15/06 when you asked for the 50th time "Will you be my girlfriend?" and I answered "Ugh. Fine!" and 10/18/09 when we both said "I do," I fell in love.
Fell in love with you and the way you make me feel.
Suddenly I couldn't picture a day without you, or my life in my absence.
I love you.

Why is it that people see other country's like of our president (Obama) as something negative? Whenever non-American support of our president is mentioned its always something bad. Why?

I think its because American's are so xenophobic that they think other countries should have nothing but fear for us and our president, as we seem to fear other countries. Yes, we fear other countries. This war wouldn't have been supported as long as it has if people didn't think that we needed to bully other countries into our way of thinking in order to keep them from attacking us.

What about friendships? What about positive relationships and positive perceptions between nations? I've always thought that positive begets positive, and negative begets more negative. One day, somebody will have to step up and be the bigger person, to say "we were wrong, what can we do to make things right?" (yes, I know it is not as simple as just saying that, but the sentiment of that statement is what I mean).

I think President Obama has made good strides into "marketing" the U.S. in a more friendly way, and I don't see anything wrong with that.

We don't have to rule by fear...then again, why do we feel like we need to rule?

I have 8 days to make 1,510 Xanga Credits in order to buy myself another year of Xanga Premium. So, I'm going to do what people usually do in this situation, ask you all to leave me a comment, and then I will return the favor my leaving a comment on one of your posts, making each exchange a 4 credit "profit" for both of us.

This will be good for me, as I really haven't gotten into the swing of reading again since my vacation. Since I'm "comment whoring" as they say, I mine as well solicit a comment that will help me to get to know you a little better.

In the comment box, please leave one, or all, or none, of the following:

1. Your Twitter url
2. The thing you feel keeps you motivated in life
3. A dream you are determined to make come true

Some are teethed on a silver spoon, while others are left hungry
You were given the best, offered the same opportunity as those swaddled in silk
But silk wasn't good enough for you
Wasn't dirty enough
Wasn't grimy enough
Everyone knows what's cool is what's dirty right?

So you tossed away years of work to make you the best you could be
Brought tears to the women who worked so you never had to shed one
Flooded them with pain as you flooded your system with alcohol

You let the streets start to devour you

They're eating you
Eating you alive
You can't see that you are walking alone, surrounded by nobodies, towards a dead end

You are producing nothing...but a child
A beautiful baby girl who's tiny feet have no matron's path to follow

You chose a life that most are forced into
For what?
For the cool?
