If I say something to you... anything, I have a reason. The reason may not be "apparent" to you at first. Time will show that. I can say usually, if I respond on a blog (or in person) it's because I SEE something in you. It's because for some reason I care about you, and you interest me. Even if my "response" is totally against you.. it still means I "like you".. lol, wierd isn't it?

If I meet you in person, and I am "quiet", it's for one of two reasons. Either I need more time to "figure you out", or I already have and consider you a "lost cause" to my thinking. Other then these exceptions.. I will "open up", and be REAL on all my thinking. When I talk, I don't hold back alot. However.. when I talk.. I will always respect parents, law enforcement, and alot of others for their position. Doesn't mean I agree.. means I respect. There are huge differences in these things, that alot don't realize.

When I talk to most anyone, my mind is set for "good". Mainly to try to understand them, and to help if I can. Unless someone just hates the hell outta me, then I respond back in pretty much the same way they did to me.. just I am far more devious... lol. Actually.. truth, most everyone that ever became my enemy became my friend later. I am not a "huge guy", but ask anyone I can hold my own. My general problem in life has been... "Big dudes" would see me, and think I am an "easy" target.. "pussies" who want to hurt a little guy (I think to myself) but I prove I won't back down. I've had the shit kicked outta me many times, but every single instance I never walked away. I always "stood my ground" (much to their surprise) and later gained their respect. Works in your favor really.. cause I can get over that chit.. so can they. They become friends, and defend me if I have any problems (and really, I have none now). I do know, if someone was to fuck with me, my family, kids or friends... I would call "everyone I know" and it would "SUCK" to be that person! I was "Blessed" with being "perceptive", as well as being "Stupid, and pigheaded". This combination works for me :)

I have been told "Many" times I read people well. I hear that in emails, and such. I believe that's true (and not bragging here). The way I think about it, I've just been around alot of people, and different types. I have been in jail, I did the drug scene, worked with major bikers alot (and although I ride, I am not a true biker). I've been homeless, I've studied religion, I've did the church scene, I've been around the "rich", I been an accomplished artist over 23 years now, I've been in the news dozens of times, I have worked with Arabs, Blacks, alot of different ethnic... I love my Playboy mag, just as much as I love my Holy Bible. Just saying, I have been around alot, and seen alot. It's NOT hard to read people, when you have seen as much as I have.

REMEMBER>> I use what I have done and seen.. to help people. I am not a perfect person NOW. I don't claim I am. I have never claimed I was. I will say, I have NEVER been out to "Hurt" anyone. Even my biggest mistakes in life (and trust me, I can do a dosey at times.. lol) I didn't have a bad heart... I just consider myself a good guy, that can get a little "erratic" at times.. however, today.. I pretty much live pretty calm...

If anyone wants to "talk".. I am always willing. I've lived a very unique life, and experienced alot. I don't try to change anyone's life (unless they live with me, and don't shower or something like Roxann's son).. If your just a person, who wants someone to talk too.. I am here. I won't try to change you (force you), but damn sure I'll give "straight" advice... and still care no matter what you say!

PS, the picture above is not against "Jesus". It's a picture of Jimmy Swaggart. And NO, I am not preaching to you. "All men (and especially women) have sinned" and fall short of the Glory of God" (That's Biblical). We are all in the "same boat".. but use what you have learned in life.. and help another... Just be "truthful".. thats my thought... JESUS forgives ALL.. ASK him!
