I CHOOSE....

A friend of mine posted this in our group to day....I absolutely love it

I didn't write it but I did add some lines to it..... I remember how it
touched me... maybe it will do the same for someone else:

I CHOOSE....

To be an adult, to not be afraid to speak my mind, to be open minded,
to be insightful, to be understanding, to standup, to be a man, to be a
child, to be an artist, to be alive, to be involved, to be musically
inclined, to be lazy, to be energetic, to be loving, to be respectful,
to be disobedient, to be hateful, to be mean, to be nice, to be sexy,
to be secure, to be perverted, to be kinky, to be tied up, to be
unlocked, to be unkind, to be uncooperative, to be unlikable, to be
stupid, to be ignorant, to be rude, to call out, to punish, to be
punished, to be submissive, to be dominant, to be soft, to be hard, to
be strong, to be weak...

I am who I am because I make my own choices.

I choose all of these things in life-and they make me-Me. Not you...You
choose who you want to be, how you want to be and how you want to be
seen and in the end if that is what you wish-then it will be...
I am who I am because I make my own choices.
But if you choose any of the above-we will be the same, we will believe
the same, we will feel the same and we will be connected in some aspect
of life or another-so don't depict me as something so different, so
taboo, so wrong or so right when and if you share my choices.

I am who I am because I make my own choices.

I choose to speak as an adult, to use my words, to explore my feelings,
to admit when I am wrong, to understand why I am wrong, and to correct
my wrong filled paths. I choose to explore the feelings I have hurt,
and understand them, to look at people for who they are and by what
actions they have showed me, I choose to do all this-because in life-it
is expected. I choose to be a non-selfish, non-bratty person. I choose
to explore people and learn their traits, their personalities and their
faults. I do not exploit them with attempts of getting attention...I do
not try to make people mad, I only bring to the attention that we all
act, feel and see differently sometimes, and we choose this.

I am who I am because I make my own choices.

I do not point fingers at those whom are less fortunate, or have
disabilities or who are not as "rich" in character as others. I do not
seek fame, fortune and or anything that would "better" situations, I
seek self happiness and explore it with others, I give my respect,
until it is used against me, I will not any longer.

I am who I am because I make my own choices.

I am as proud of my successes as I am of my failures, for I have
learned that you can not have one with out the other.

What do you choose?

Deathly Hallows......DONE

Its done.....I have finished it with a heavy heart....saying goodbye to the Hoogwarts Crew was very hard. It was even harder to see some of my personal fave characters (no spoilers) die. This is definitely a much different book than the first one but I love the progression. Ms Rowlings did a wonderful job with the entire series....wish I could say the same for that crappy movie....It SUCKED.....We saw Ratatouille and HP: Order of Phoenix and the first was a good. Nothing I would watch over again but HP was TERRIBLE. All sliced and diced almost beyond recognition.

Friday Faves MeMe - Romantic Movie

ok here is one of my FAVE questions.....romantic movie.....

Jason's Lyric....this movie is soooooooooooooooo romantic....

At the heart of this dynamic film is the love of a man for a woman, a mother for a son, and a brother for a brother. Rarely is one man's struggle for inner peace so poignantly displayed as in this eng...( read more )rossingly sexy and unflinchingly violent love story. Lyric is the young woman who rekindles the dreams of a man tormented by a father's alcoholic violence now perpetuated by an unstable brother. Allen Payne and Jada Pinkett make for one of the screen's most memorable duos in the title roles. Each brings emotional intensity paired with powerful sexuality to their roles.

The scene down by the river is sooooooooo sensual
