You know, I think we all need a place to vent sometimes. Someone to tell us what we need to do it and how we need to do is always useful. I've been in and out of crap all my life, until my most recent relationship. I kind of grew up after she left me, but I more discovered myself.

I've been living happily ever since, and I don't know why. Nothing can get me down, and I fully believe that it's because I know who I am and what I want. I walk around every day seeing people depressed and hating their life, and the only thing I can think is that they're wasting it. We only have about 80 years in this body. Most of you are about 20, some of you older, which means that you've knocked off at least 20 of those 80 years.

Now look at that and tell me how much of a waste of time it is to be depressed or worried.

I seem to be a source for women to vent their problems these days. I hear about abusive boyfriends, both verbally and physically. I hear about parents beating their daughters, and abusing drugs to the point that they can't afford food for their families. The only excuse to be depressed that I can really feel sorry for for these women are the parents. They can't help that, and I can understand that. But I'm seriously starting to believe that women have no sense of reality when it comes to choosing men for relationships.

My point is that I've become extremely good at listening and giving advice. You guys are more family to me than anyone has been, save my grandmother. If any of you ever need anything, be it to talk or just to have someone to listen, you all know how to get ahold of me. I'm no psychiatrist, but I am a realist. I'll be blunt, a lot of times, so before you come to me, be ready to be told like it is.

At any rate, I'm here to listen if anyone needs it because I'd like to know that someone is there for me if I were to ever need them.

Cheers, guys.
