“I have made it a rule of my life never to regret and never

to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy... you

can’t build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.”

If tomorrow all the things were gone I’d worked for all my life,
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.

From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea,

From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA,
Well, there’s pride in every American heart,
and it’s time to stand and say:

I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.

EnD oF 2008

This year has been full of ups and downs, good and bad, right and wrong... I'm so happy for all the new friends I've made and even the friends I've lost. With every year that passes I'm happy to know that I learn from my failures, mistakes, successes and good deeds.. 2008 has been no different from any other year when it comes to the many obstacles I've faced.

I wish that everyone can look back on your year during 2008 and see the good and the bad... but most importantly learn from it, move on and have a great beginning in 2009!

I really am happy for every person that has touched my life in some way this year and in years past. I wish everyone good health and happiness in everything you do....

If your reading this, I'm sure you know which category you fall into...

To all my old "friends" that read this blog... really.. is it necessary? It's a shame that you find comfort in talking about others... I know I'm going into 2009 holding no grudges and truly wishing the best for everyone.. including you..

To friends lost... I hope that 2009 brings us back together in one way or another. I know life is busy and I hope you know you are missed...

To all my new friends... I look forward to new adventures and good times to come. Even if I've only known you for two days.. I truly am happy that you have come into my life and look forward to everything 2009 will bring.

To all my old friends... I love you soooo much! I'm so happy to know you are there for me when I need you and I hope you know I'm here if you ever need me.. I wouldn't be the person that I am today if it weren't for each and everyone one of you. I'm glad to know that it doesn't matter if I talk to you everyday, once a month or even once a year.. that our friendship remains strong.

Thanks to my girl KP for these!

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.

Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not for you.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably a wise investment.

Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

There are two theories for arguing with women. Neither one works.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Hope you have a great day, filled with family/friends and lots of food!!
