GDP GMAN's blog: "What I'm Thinking"

The real prolem is not whether machines think but whether people do. Digest that one.

Here's today's quote: The greatest waste in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become. Chew on that a while. I'm out

here's a quote for today, take it any way you want: A chip on the shoulder indicates that there is wood higher up. There ya go. Til tomorrow.

Here it is. The start of a another new year. First up, for the 5th straight year I have lost family members close to me. This year I lost two uncles and one aunt. One cousin got railroaded by the feds and is locked up for the next 1 to 3 years. On top of that the family found out that an uncle-in-law has molested every one of his daughters (my cousins)and my aunt sat by and never said anything. This revelation explains alot of things about them. Second, I am thankful that I have made it through another year. I've reconected with some old friends. I've also made some new friends on this site (You know who you are) which has been fun. To end this marathon blog, I would just like to say that I am looking forward to the new year with optimism because that's just me and I wish everyone the best in the comming year.

I am always confused by the opposite sex and dating. If I'm understanding and a good listener I become a friend. Not that there is anything wrong with being friends but sometimes that becomes a death label to any possible expansion of the relationship. I have found that the worse that I have acted toward women, the more responsive they have been. It is not my nature to be an asshole but I do what I have to do at times. To my women friends who read this, I want to know: If you want a man to be there for you, listen to you, respect you, why do you go for the guy who is just the opposite? Just want to know.

Hello everyone. Although I know no one will ever read my blogs, I'm writing this one for me. The holiday season is begining to be a tuff season for me and my family. A few years a go I lost my grandmother right after New Years. Last year at this time I lost my grandfather. Now today I lost an uncle. It's really hard to stay in a festive mood when you are also reminded that love ones have left you. I know that they are gone to a better place but that doesn't make it any easier. You see; I believe that when a love one dies, a little bit of us dies also. You'll never get that part of you back again. Now, I'm the first to tell people that one must move on with one's life but I will never tell them that they'll get over it. I've never gotten over any of the deaths of people close to me and I never will. I just learn to deal with it and move on with life because I know that they would not want me to stop living. Any way, that's all I have to get off my chest, and I truly wish you "Happy Holidays".
