The Truth

I have to be honest here. I had some comments saying what a good job I had done on my blog here, but really it was all Erin in Russia. I probably could have figured it all out, but we all know I like it when people do things for me right. The big manipulator. Also it wouldn't have been the funnest job for me to make those changes, so that is my excuse. One person commented on why would I want to take those pictures off. But if that person (who chose to be annonymous) can't figure that one out then I don't think trying to explain it would work either.
Anyhow, thank you Erin for all your help, I enjoy my blog a lot with the new pics and the others gone.
More truth. I feel the reality of what is going on a lot more heavy these days. Mostly ideas and dreams gone. Rejection and being alone. My gut reaction is to go out and not be alone, I mean after all this is not my fault or choice. But I would like to try and come out better on the other side of this and not just fall back into old patterns and pitfalls. Getting too old for that now. My teammates never let me forget how old I am. We just found out the other day that I was a counsellor for one of my teammates when he was in grade six. But he was an old grade sixer, I remind him.
Anyway, it is tough most of the time, but my school and basketball provide good escapes. I have tried other ones as well, but after taking looks in the mirror I am cutting those out. Pray for that if you will.
Ending truth,
I am amazingly greatful for my family and friends who have been nothing but there for me. They have helped me with whatever I have needed. Comfort, caring, shower curtains. Everything. Even confronting me and calling me out. All good things. So thank you all very much.

Can you help?

If anyone can help me get all these pictures off of here that would be cool. And also help change the name and all that too. Still shaking my head but I better start taking these steps I think.
Let me know how to do it please.

cultural differences

I feel that cultural differences can be very big road blocks in any type of relationship. If you don't understand where a person is coming from or why they think the way they do, you could easily misunderstand, insult or offend someone.
If I sit down with someone from another culture and we were going to try and work on a problem or issue I would deffinitely want to understand what that persons culture said about that situation. Because something that might seem straight forward basic to me may be a really big deal to some other cultures, or the other way around. There are so many differences that need to be taken into account, and if you don't understand that you could lose someone before you even get started.
