this is not your everyday bible thumping....born again.....kind of revelation....I want to take this time to share with you....Just the observation that when life hands you a steady diet of assholes? ... throw them away quickly and move on. Don't try to hang onto them hoping that they will somehow become anything other than the assholes that they are...and don"t somehow feel guilty about throwing them back... they are assholes- they won't notice this or even care...But never give up on the fact that just because people for the most part are self-centered ...egotistical , greedy, one way mother fuckers...there are some still out there that don't embrace this kind of existence... They are out there ... For me? all I had to do was trust my gut instinct...hop a bus out of Seattle and 1st stop other side of the mountains...there was God.  This of course is a sort of inside joke between my new friend and myself... a nickname if u want to call it that. At any rate, while some called this foolish...dangerous...and downright irresponsible...I count myself lucky to have met someone who I know will be a lifelong friend and confident.
