Broken hearts, scrapped knees and black eyes

Everything in life is supposed to have a lesson in it. Your supposed to take notes and then refer to those notes the next time you cross the same 'assignment'. Some people are very studious and write every little thing down and are very cautious when they come to the same place and then others take it for granted and deal with what comes their way when it comes their way. Thing is too many people get hurt (ie broken hearts, scrapped knees and black eyes) and they never try that which inflicted the pain every again. They just avoid the confrontaion with unkown all together and get stuck in a safe routine. But this is in no way to live your life...in actuallity you can be hurt turning a page to a book and get a nasty papercut (thus why you shouldn't read at all...jj) , you can get out of the shower and slip on teh floor bang your head and die, you can go to sleep and wake up to have all your defining possesions gone. Really life is teaching you these lessons so that you keep trying them to improve on them not so that you give up on them and do the easier ones. Your supposed to challenge them, take them head on and fail as many times as it takes you to find the one way that succeeds and then try another way..because there is always more than one way to succeed at everything. Black eyes eventually heal and while they are there you can wear them with a sense of pride that you didn;t back down from an obstacle. Scrapped knees will go away, sometimes they become scars...but chicks dig scars and they give you a story tell and leave you a reminder that you tried and failed and then when you succeed it will have been worth it. Broken hearts come and go. If when your heart was broken it never was fixed then how could you have more than one broken heart. The best part about that broken heart is finding someone to put it back together again..sure all the kings/queens horses and all the kings/queens men/women can try but really they are just in the way of letting the king or queen to do thier repairs. Taking the advice of a now somewhat alzehimer siexe grandpa"the past is the past, sure its nice to cream about the past and change things to the way you wanted it to be but that doesn't change the present. The only thing you can do is give your all and try and not let what happened in the past affect your future. The only thing that can affect your future is you and always remember that!"

Grandpa was a wise, wise man..and for all that he now can't remember he has passed on for us to remember and pass on..that and well he still is pretty damned good at cribbage and rubbing it in!!

remember if your going to swim in the deep end that you should wait atleast 30 minutes after eating otherwise there's no way your going to fit into that thong!

peace
