Topic: Serious Question...

This is actually something kinda personal...but it's something that has been kinda bugging me lately.

Some of you who look in here may know that I have been writing a ( what I am planning on finishing as ) a book.

I have posted quite a bit of it here for people to see.

Before I say any more I want to point out that this is NOT, in ANY way, an attempt to get more people to read it. So please don't take it that way.



Now, some of the people who have read it have been people from the few that I truly consider friends. Some have been people who don't know me at all.

But the response, whether or not they know me, has been overwhelmingly positive. They have all told me that I have a talent.

The problem is this....

I cannot seem to bring myself to accept that they are actually serious. I cannot accept the fact that I may, indeed, have some talent.

It seems to me, in my head, that the people who have told me that they enjoyed my work, did so simply because they didn't want to discourage me, even if they didn't particularly like the writing.

I want to say, to everyone that has given me positive feedback, that I truly do appreciate it. My thoughts are nothing personal, or any indictment of your honesty.

It's just my own head that won't allow me to accept the idea that I could actually be good at something like writing.

All I can really say, to myself most times is, WTF is wrong with me???

Anyone have any ideas how to get past this crap???
Sometimes when your are having trouble with something you jsut have to take a break and come back to it

Topic: Hero

thinking one can trust the other,
as looking in the sky and watching the stars and moon
feeling there is more hope to share with one another, as feeling one can trust anyone, but not thinking with heart to the divine.
as you feel like your wondering away, as you watch yourself go separate ways, as i know that my dreams are a meaning, but yet deep down i know the truth, i can only trust myself, and the almighty of course,
i have found courage in myself, as where i shouldnt complain for who or what i am, i have found more compassion in who i am, as i have angels around me as my guides, which they have saved me of my innocent life, as my hero are my guides as they have brought me to see the new beganing of where i belong
So true to everyones life as well...

Topic: America.."land of the free"



so do tell, what do you think makes America "land of the free"?
Tell me what makes you be proud being an american living in the land of free? do you feel that we americans really have it all that well? How do you think America differs from 25 yrs ago? What do you think that other countries think of America? and does America protray itself as it really is? Note no one is right or wrong here.. just asking yor thoughts on it all...
First of all, I think anyone who has been around a while could write a short story about this or maybe even a book. The freedom that our boys and myself have defended is so many things. (From the very small to some things that effect our everyday lives. Being able to work in whatever profession you want to practicing whatever religion you want. Saying what you feel and voicing your opinion...and the list goes on. I am proud to be an American cause I have pride in who I am and after serving in the Navy it something I can hardly explain being on a carrier and launching F-14s. You just have to be there to know the feeling. In the past 25 years some of our conservitive ideals have changed...And in this we are changed forever as it is always important not to look back but ahead. Some countries hate us and some thing we are great. Most of this is from overseas experience. It depends who you talk to. I think most still think we are still a Super power...But we are slipping fast and President Obama is being tested in so many ways.
i definately am not degrading any armed services to do what they are sent to do... and i feel u are much stronger than any government! sure americans can choose but doesnt that take money? if i so much chose to be a chef does that make me one? do i not need the 42 thousand dollars to go to school to be one? is that free? or does my cost only come from my hopes? also because i chose to do that does that mean i would get that one job in 2,000 allpying for the job?
Is the American way of competetion and everyone has to start somewhere...AS for the schooling...If you served our country they will pay for your education...GI Bill

Topic: America.."land of the free"

what does land of the free mean? free to have babies here because someone is here in the country.. illegaly? do they do that to a american who pays their taxes? or hasnt been on healthcare because they worked all their life is having a baby at age 40 and happened to pay for their 2 cars they already owned from working and paying taxes for the 22 yrs they worked? is taking away that second car fair? is another example of land of the free?
Bringing a new life into the world is wonderful...even if it is from someone who illegally here. President Reagan opened pandoras box on this and we have not been able to shut yet. This is why we vote to do or best to prevent these from happening...when all else fails...write your congressman or woman and start your own petition is the "American" way you know..

Topic: America.."land of the free"


mark here they arent small businesses not all of them... sure some do because the open a company dont know how to run it.. etc.. but many many big companies too that have been around for yrs and been successful.. do u not think it is the economy? because all the others lose their jobs and can not buy?
I here ya. I'm from Michigan the biggest loser in all this economy. And when they were pushing bailouts. They bought people out of their jobs, their unemployment. And the auto industry pushed everyones jobs. when the unemployment runs out. I dont know whats going to happen.
If you one of the many who are out on unemployment you should consider you options and do not be afraid to go outside you trade. Many skills that people have are transferable...I could go on but after being unemployed for once in my life now I had to make a change and it is working...and for sure it is a survival thing but it is what we must all do to take care of our families.

Topic: Do you
I think tring to explain who you are on paper is more difficult than it is to let who you are to flow face to face. I do not think I sell myself short neccessarily...it is just difficult to cover so much ground on who you are and where you have been in just a few paragraphs.
