"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create."

Country not ghetto big difference
it SUPER annoying when ppl that grew up in the middle of a corn field try to act all ghetto. Really, you're not fooling anyone.
I saw.
i saw the end before it began...you touched my heart and you touched my soul, you changed my life and all my goals...I've kissed your lips and held your hand. Shared your dreams and shared your bed. I know you well, I know your smell
"true and natural love"
to want is different than to know...to understand is different than to feel...know the difference

to want is different than to know...to understand is different than to feel...know the difference

All about Photos. :)
A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know. -Diane Arbus
Once the ranks of the image being captured are penetrated the lens searches out the soul like a snake in a drain.
The world is harsh, unique, beautiful at times, horrible at times. it is time to capture that emotion and feeling in photographs.

What Sex can teach us.. Possibilities
People are different during sex- aspects of their private
selves come forth that would never appear in public
otherwise. It is in sex that we have an opportunity to
become most naked- not just physically vulnerable but
mentally and emotionally as well. We expose our fears, and
worse, our desires, to another's view and, in so doing, risk
their fear, their ridicule, their repulsion. Part of the
power of sex lies in how very frightening it can be; when we
walk out on that emotional tightrope, it can be a long way
down.
Of course, we hope not to fall. We hope to balance well, or
even to grow wings, to soar with a partner to pleasurable
heights that we could never reach alone. We hope that when
we lay ourselves bare before another's gaze, that he will
find us beautiful, desirable- that he will match us in this
risky game and lay themselves open as well. That is the lure
of intimacy, the promise of shared fears that may be
overcome by desire- leading in the end to great pleasure.
The rewards are potentially tremendous, but the risk is
always there as well.
But honest desire is rarely safe, pleasure always carries
with it possibility of pain. In the end, it seems that this
danger provides, for some at least, an access to a far
greater pleasure than what they might have otherwise found,
a pleasure that is intense enough to lure us onward, seeking
ever greater heights.

And you ask why I'm not a server anymore...
The next time you're out eating at a restaurant, look at your server. Do you think they are really happy to be doing that job? The answer is no, they are not, but it's what we do, and we do it for the money so please help them out. It's a tougher job than you think and you should pay them accordingly!
There are SO many people out there flooding the restaurants w/o any knowledge of how to behave or tip. Here is a short guide for the general public to follow. Feel free to print out and store in your wallet and/or purse.
1. CHILDREN "THE LITTLE DEVILS":
If you have children, DO NOT let them, open and dump anything on the table (i.e.; salt, sugar, etc). IF YOU DO, you must leave an extra $5 for the server to clean up YOUR CHILD'S mess & to restock the now unusable wasted items. We are neither their babysitter nor their parent. The least you can do is pay us for the extra work. Also make sure you control your kids and don't let them scream or run around the restaurant. It's very distracting not to mention dangerous if they get ran over by a server with hot food in their hands.
2. "THE CAMPERS":
If you feel the necessity to stay for longer than 15 minutes after you pay, it's an extra $3 every 30 minutes. We make our money from the tables. If you are in one and we can't seat it, we don't make money.
3. "THE VERBAL TIP":
Telling a server they are the best server they've ever had is NOT a tip. If we are good, let us know by leaving us more money. We can't pay our bills on compliments. It's not that we don't appreciate the praise; it's just that if you say that and then leave a shitty tip it's an insult.
4. THE SALVATION PAMPHLETS:
Prayer cards and any other religious pamphlet is NOT a tip. Jesus doesn't pay the bills!! It is insulting that you assume we are w/o religion and must save us. Again, like...3, we can't pay bills w/prayer cards. We'd go to church on Sundays if it wasn't mandatory to work on Sundays because EVERYONE who goes to church follows it by eating out.
5. TIPPING:
It's not 1960. 18% is the MINIMUM amount of what you should be tipping your servers. We'll break it down for you....just look at the tax line and multiply by 2-3; this gives you your minimum tip amount. Remember, our companies pay us minimum wage ($3.65) and we are taxed on 10 percent of your meal automatically anyway. So if your meal is $100 and you leave $10 and we tip out $4-5 to the SA, then $4-5 to the bartender, and whoever else then we pay tax on 10 dollars and we make $5. It seems small but it adds up. How many times do you eat out per week and do this?
5A. If you are paying with a gift card don't assume you can put the tip on that card. And if you get a discount or someone gives you a free something tip on what the total of you bill should have been before the discount. You're already getting your meal cheaper, don't be a cheap ass on your server.
6. THE COMPLAINERS:
If you get a discount because of your food was prepared wrong or you just feel like being an asshole, don't take it out of our tip. We didn't cook it. The cooks get paid hourly regardless if the food sucks. However, we only make what you give us.
7. THE LATE ONES:
If you come into the restaurant 10 minutes before closing or any time near closing hurry up and order your food and get out. No better yet....don't come in AT ALL. I'd rather not have the 5 extra dollars you're going to leave on your $60 check. Thanks anyway... Closed means closed, not social hour. What no one seems to realize is that if customers are there, we are there no matter how late they stay. We recommend 24 hour establishments such as Denny's if you wish to sit into the wee hours of the night.
8. THE GREET:
When we come up to the table to greet you and we ask how you are doing please let us know. If you are in a bad mood we want to know that we are going to have to deal with your attitude the entire time. A confused stare or complete silence does not suffice as a reply to "How are you doing?" Also stop interrupting our greeting and say "I want coffee", "Can we get some bread?", or "What are the soups?" But please there is no need for life stories...we aren't telling you ours are we?
9. THOSE DAMN CELL PHONES:
Seriously! Get off your phone...This is probably the rudest thing to do. If you must be on your cell, at least keep your voice down in respect for other customers. If you are on your cell phone when we walk up to greet your table we will walk away and not return until you get off your phone. All we ask is MAYBE two minutes of your time. So get off your phone. If you want to be rude to the guest with you, by all means, go right ahead.
10. THE IMPATIENT ONES:
Ah yes... If a server comes to bring out your drinks and she/he is juggling about 5 things don't ask "Are we going to get some bread???" Do you not see their hands are full, does it look like you are going to get some bread at that moment. Clearly you will get bread, but unless the server can magically make bread appear, your question is ridiculous. Some people at your table might want their drink first, so that's what I'm bringing right now.
11. THE ONES WHO RUN YOUR ASS OFF:
If a server comes to your table and asks "is there anything else I can get for you?" I want you to tell me everything you need. Don't ask for one item, have me go and get it and on returning ask me for something else...and then keep doing it. Think of EVERYTHING you will need to make you happy and tell me ALL AT ONE TIME. We do have brains and can remember things... and last time we checked you aren't the only people in the restaurant, we have other tables that need us, and can't spend all night running back and forth.
12. SELF-SEATING:
Once again...it is not 1960, and most restaurants are not on a "seat yourself" policy. Don't just assume that the area near the bar is a place where you can sit yourself down wherever you want. There is actually a reason hosts put you where they do. Hosts try to rotate tables, ensuring that each server gets the same amount of tables, and also so that servers do not get three tables all at once. This helps guarantee you get the best service possible. Therefore don't ask to sit somewhere else once a host has brought you to a certain table either....RUDE. If you are unsure about the restaurant's policy and there is someone standing at the door staring at you when you walk in, you can bet that's a host and they will inform you. Waffle House is the only place it is acceptable to sit at a table still left dirty from the party seated there before...and please feel free to go there.
13. ORDER TAKING:
When the server comes by to take your order, don't say that you are ready if you really aren't. Although it may seem fun to keep your server standing at your table for endless amounts of time while you actually decide what you want, there are once again other tables and other things that need to be done.
14. ASKING TO SEE THE MANAGER:
If your food sucks and you ask to see the manager don't make us sound like incompetent assholes. We bust our asses to make you happy; we don't cook your food so please STOP taking it out on us
15. SUNDAYS
Just don't go out on Sundays. Seriously don't. Stay home and cook your own food. Sunday is no different then Monday-Saturday yet people love to shaft you on Sundays, why? So do us all a favor and stay home. Especially the first week of the month, we don't want a whole $2 out of your welfare check.
16. CHOOSING TO SIT IN FILTH:
If you go up to a bar top an there is no one sitting at it and you choose to sit at the 2 seats that where just occupied 30 seconds before, and need to be cleared wiped and re set. don't sit down and give a look of disgust because there is an ash tray that has 2 butts in it with a bar top that's sticky from the 4 jagerbombs that where done before the other people left and the wet bar napkins that are crumpled up next to the ashtray. Look around people!! It's no that hard of a concept! There's 30 other seats that you can sit it its not gonna kill you to move down 2 seats or at least give us a minute to grab a rag before you jump down our throats. Were not just gonna let it sit there dumb ass!

These are the words that I am now living by..
If you have a hidden agenda, leave me out of it. I would prefer for you to come as you are, and not hiding behind a mask
Be unselfish, I yearn to see the innocence from this world of the tainted and corrupted, learn to forgive for those who's done you wrong.
Let Karma play her role, and sit back and relax
Let the moments consume you and channel that to mould it into something beautiful to share the world
Some of you wonder: Why do nice girls finish last? My answer: We're the ones helping others push forward and standing behind our loved ones all the way. Therefore we don't, because there is no last place. And if we all do the same for each other, we stand infinite. Keep ya head up baby. A smile goes a long way.Who says good girls cant have fun? Live your life to the fullest, work hard, play even harder, cherish your friends and family, love your man, and at the same time, keep your responsibilities and priorities straight.
....your probably curious on who i am.... .. Im just the girl next door you havent met...
If you're probably interested in who i am. I'm nothing out of the ordinary, just someone who doesnt really ask for much, but the simple things in life. I live simply and independantly. I'm constantly on the go, but I try to make time for everyone. I never ask for anything more than what I already have in my life and I have great people who I hold close to my heart who inspire me to be a better person everyday. They make things interesting and keep me smiling. Mwah!! Just wanna say that I have already met the most amazing people in my life, they totally blow my mind, and make me jump for joy whenever I hear from them. But.. I can always make room for more....
If you want to know anything about me, feel free to ask.
Isn't being human intriguing? The emotions, complications and what people do to justify themselves. I will not judge or be biased because, lets face it, we're all guilty of letting our emotions consume us, and what comes around always goes around whether you like it or not.
Love that makes your heart beat like a jackhammer to the raging anger that overcomes you. Build it up or see it all come crashing down... if you haven't already been corrupted in some form or another by this world, just wait.. unless you are resilient enough to follow your morals and heart. If you cannot be in control, then at least be the one with the clearest conscience. ... just remember: things are only as complicated as you make them to be.I like to put all my emotions into my poems. They do not necesarily reflect what is going on in my life (though I have yet to dedicate them, when the time comes), I just want you to feel it as I have ...... ..so let it go and set yourself free...
I love lyrics that make you wanna rock out, spontaneous actions that makes me laugh and a wild imagination that shocks me..

Judge me & I'll prove you wrong.
Tell me what to do & I'll tell you off.
Say I’m not worth it & watch where I end up.
Call me a bitch & I'll show you one.
Fuck me over & I'll do it twice as bad.
Call me crazy, but you really have to idea =)~
Euphoric
In everything lies a dichotomy, this is the darker half of my personality. The side of me that likes to party all night and sleep all day. I am not mainstream. I see things different than most. This is a place for me to remember why I have fallen in love
