Are you one of them?

Well here goes, I was innocently checking my mail when I came across messages that I recieved from hi5. Now let me explaint that I only use hi5 to find friends that I have lost touch with, and I have been pretty successful at that. Not that there is anything wrong with you if you use hi5 to make new friends, that's all fine and good as long as you are happy.
However i do end up reading some really funny, sometimes freaky and even rude messages. So I thought I would share 3 of these wacky messages. I will eliminate, names and contact information out of respect for people's privacy.

1) one of these guys left me a message telling me that he has seen me around kuwait and he described certain things to prove so (and they are true) and he want's to get to know me. freaky? slightly obsessive? kind of disturbing actually!

2) (this one is cute but funny)
hello ... how are you ?... my name is **** ... i'm from Kuwait , i read your nice profile it's so nice ... i hope to each more togather .. if you like that please contact me by send me your mobil number or just give me miss call 9****** i hope to make nice cabuls :) do you like that :) ? i'm wait you thanx ... and have a nice day bye

3) (now this is infuriating!)

i like 2 see all kinds of movies

what an ass!! seriously with comments like that no wonder he is divorced! how would he feel if I told him I wasn't interested cos his english sux! or because no one who is really funny says "i'm funny"
anyway I replied to him and gave him a piece of my mind!

just thought i'd share this with you.

happiness

Feeling you should be happy when everything inside you is telling you to be unhappy is like trying to correct nature- be unhappy and patient and happiness will come later.

Trying to hide unhappiness is lying trying to hide gluttony. Impossible.

A lifetime of only happiness would be unbearable. It would be it's own hell.

Why should anyone's desire to be unhappy make anyone else uncomfortable?

In youth we are happy for no reason at all- in age we pretend to be happy for millions of reasons.

some thoughts to ponder.

Poetic Genius

There is a women whom i think is a poetic genious!! I'm not the only one though! i make it sound as though i discvovered her. her name is Emily Dickinson, anyway here's a little something.


I felt a Funeral, in my Brain

by Emily Dickinson

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading – treading – till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through –

And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum –
Kept beating – beating – till I thought
My Mind was going numb –

And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space – began to toll,

As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race
Wrecked, solitary, here –

And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down –
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing – then –

Dobby

I have a dog. His name is Dobby. i miss him soooooooooo much. well he's back in cairo, and he is one of my bestfriends. no really he is so cool, he wants to hang out with me all the time, whether i'm down or up, or playing or just chilling out on the coach. He never gets upset at me, and ususally comes to greet me when i get home, and likes to sit next to me on the coach while i'm watching t.v, and rubs his head against me. When he hears anything suspicious he always runs to me and starts running around in circles and barking really loudly and tries to explain to me what's going on. he keeps me safe even though he's small, but he's got a loud abnoxious bark that could wake up thee whole house. when he takes a shower he doesn't complain and when i throw him in the pool he paddles his little feet like crazy but doesn't complain, doesn't make a sound. when my sister's dog Jude was a puppy he fell into the pool and almost drowned if it wasn't for Dobby barking and running for help. And he used to share his bed with jude and he even let him have it for a while. I just wish people were a little more like dobby.
