    I'm loving this Christmas song this year. :)

    Merry Christmas, Here's to Many more.
    By: Reliant K


    I made it through the year and I did not even collapse
    Got to say, "Thank God, for that"
    I'm torn between what keeps me whole and what tears me in half
    I'll fall apart or stay intact

    With tired eyes I stumble back to bed
    I need to realize my sorry life's not hanging by a thread
    At least not yet

    So look at me now
    Its finally Christmas and I'm home
    Head indoors, to get out of this weather
    And I don't know how
    But the closest friends I've ever known are all inside
    Singing together
    Singing merry Christmas, here's to many more

    It always hurt to be all by myself this time of year
    A cold and lonely Christmas eve
    And living out my days alone
    Well that had been my deepest fear
    But you promised you won't leave

    I look towards the east and see a star
    Jesus Christ, it's blessed my life to know just who you are
    You are my hope

    So look at me now
    Its finally Christmas and I'm home
    Head indoors, to get out of this weather
    And I don't know how
    But the closest friends I've ever known are all inside
    Singing together
    Singing merry Christmas, here's to many more

    Deck the halls with mistletoe
    May all your heavy burdens go
    Up the chimney in a cloud of smoke
    The fire's burning bright
    Strike up the band and play the tune
    Cause Christmas will be here and soon
    You'll hear our song in every room
    This merry Christmas night

    And here are some quotes that are just plain stupid.

    "That lowdown scoundrel deserves to be kicked to death by a jacka$$, and I'm just the one to do it,"--A congressional candidate in Texas.

    "Half this game is ninety percent mental."--Philadelphia Phillies manager, Danny Ozark

    "Traditionally, most of Australia's imports come from overseas."--Keppel Enderbery

    "Your food stamps will be stopped effective March 1992 because we received notice that you passed away. May God bless you. You may reapply if there is a change in your circumstances."--Department of Social Services, Greenville, South Carolina

    Speaking of stupid quotes/signs...

    I drive across South Dakota to go back home and see my parents. It's mostly a lot of grass, grass, cows and grass. There's this one billboard on the side of the interstate I always laugh at. It's old, cracked, paint peeling, with a picture of a tow truck and the words:

    "Toe Service"

    I always wonder if they noticed this? Or maybe didn't care...

    Anyone that comes to this website is looking for something. I read the questions and I might or might not respond. But I feel in my heart that all of us are searching for something fix a problem or just make life better. And as in Shakespeare's St. Crispin's Day Speech of Henry V, All of us are band of Brothers (and Sisters). We want to make our lives better and/or make our loved ones better. Whatever, it is the search not the result that really counts, Keep on searching people.

    I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. ~Dr. King

    My favorite quote ever:
    "Dont ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, so they tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period." ~Pursuit of Happyness
