Finding Shannon wonders: To tell, or not to tell? That is the question.
Full Disclosure
As much as we may try to convince ourselves otherwise, we all want to be loved and accepted by others. We want people to think highly of us and not judge us for our imperfections. To avoid rejection, we often keep parts of ourselves hidden from the very people that we want to be closest to. We don’t express our hopes and fears, nor do we share the mistakes that we have made in the past. Unfortunately, this only leaves us feeling isolated and doubting our self worth. After all, how can someone really love us if they don’t know who we really are?
Full disclosure is a leap of faith. Showing the world who you are, imperfections and all, is a scary thing. We don’t know how others are going to react and more often than not, we project that they will meet our confessions with rejection. So rather than sharing who we are, we continue to hide behind our social mask, hoping that we can maintain the persona that we have created, all the while feeling alone.
When we fail to let people know us, we live our lives feeling isolated. If no one knows the “real you,” how can they fully love and accept you? This becomes a vicious cycle: you don’t feel accepted, so you hide more of who you are, retreating behind your social veneer farther and farther until you feel completely alienated. What you don’t realize is that you are doing it to yourself!
Meaningful relationships are built on trust and acceptance. If you do not have trust in the people around you to accept who you really are, then perhaps you are hanging out with the wrong people. People instinctively want to connect with others- it’s how we’re wired. We all want to feel part of something bigger than ourselves, part of a larger group. We want to belong. However in order for that to happen, we must have faith that those around us will love us, blemishes and all.
Everyone has their issues. No one is perfect, and no one expects you to be perfect either. Perfection is a myth- an unattainable goal. Besides, the idea of perfection is subjective anyway- one person’s “perfect” may be another person’s crap! The best anyone can strive for is to try to live their lives being true to themselves.
Confidence and great relationships are based on being honest with yourself and honest with others. People are not always going to agree with your opinions, and that’s OK. You’re also going to occasionally say or do things that people don’t like or don’t agree with, and that’s OK too. But at least you will know who you are and others will know you too.
If you really want to gain confidence and have meaningful relationships, start practicing full disclosure. Show people who you really are. Talk to them about your experiences, both good and bad. Share what you have learned in this life so far. Sharing yourself with others creates confidence and bonds you with the people in your life. The people that love you are going to accept that you are not perfect. When people share who they are, they learn from one another and create a sense of community.
We have to remember that in order to create a meaningful existence, we need to connect with others. Without full disclosure, there is no connection. If you want to make an impact, be true to yourself and honest with others. You are unique and beautiful. People will accept you. Strong relationships will develop and your confidence will increase. Being honest about who you are will enhance every aspect of your life. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and show the world the real you!
I’ve been Finding Shannon making good choices recently
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say that I’m holding a contest with myself. I keep loosing, that’s the funny part. But each time I loose I wipe the slate clean and start fresh. I can do that. It’s my contest and I’m making the rules.
This contest has been inspired by my preparation for a charcoal cleanse that is going to rid my body of any remaining gluten. Well, guess what- I was told a year ago that I’m sensitive to Gluten and I’ve eliminated it from my diet and about 90% of the food I eat is gluten free.. To be clear with this, you will not catch me sitting down in front of a giant plate of noodles or a foot long sub sandwich. No. That’s not what I’m saying. But I have to remain dedicated to this mission because gluten is PREVALENT!
I’m getting a handle on this sneaky little girl that has food issues beyond the allergy thing. Sneak a bite of this here or there, not honoring the fact that my body doesn’t process this stuff very well. I am letting her know that myself, along with everyone else realize what she is up to and they are tired of it. Not only can she completely stop putting any gluten in her body, she can rest assured that delicious alternatives will continue to arrive in her life. You see.. nothing to worry about.
So on that note. The contest… how many good decisions for myself can I make in a row? I think I’m on maybe 7 or 8 right now. It’s been eye-opening to watch how I have a tendency to put myself right back into the spot I’ve always been, what a paradox!! I’m sick of it!! Yuck. Go away paradox. I am ready to accept my full self, the sweet, powerful, loving, caring, talented woman that I am. I’ve been watching how young woman act around me and I don’t like it. I am not saying I’m better than anyone here.. but many sound like a bunch of sailors, they aren’t being sweethearts.. I mean, what’s a girl to do anyway?
Oh! I know
Harness her talents and creativity, share them with the world around her in a special way. and be sweet. I’m standing by this sweetness thing, Dogs and friends sure like it. It’s working for me. Breathe into your heart and direct energy there. Once you harmonize electronic energy you can start working with energy and consciousness more too to make this even more fun!
So, speaking of good choices- I’ve been reading a lot to keep my brain occupied and not wandering into dark corners and seeking suffering. (isn’t there a song about the “corners of my mind”?) Annnyway.. It’s working great. It’s putting me in a creative and healthy space. I really really like it…. How do you make sure you are evolving and not going backwards?
I’d love to elaborate on this more, as I’m seeing the option to make choices that are not in my best interest are showing up a lot. This mostly has to do with what I choose to put in my body, but it goes beyond that as well. All I know is that the forgiveness piece is essential to this so called “contest” I’m having, because it’s allowing me the space to start over as many times as I need to, in order to make an increasing amount of good decisions, in a row!

The crisp words Vesna uses to describe some very new concepts it just terribly moving. When I read this piece by Vesna Jovanovic ♥ my response was: so I don’t think you understand, this is one of the most astounding things that has captured my attention in a number of months. Captivating, incredible- oh wow, it’s so beautiful. I am in love with this piece. Thank you thank you thank you. Oh girl… damn. mah heart! I think I love it so much, I have so many words in this case to describe the love I have for this- sometimes my heart explodes with outward energy and that is whats going on right now. It’s so interesting how people connect to things differently! And by the way, do you know how good this feels.. oh I am SO grateful. Thank you sweet Love of my life known as energy. Oh goodness, there I go melting again.

Love and God

Man is a quest, an eternal inquiry, a perennial question. The quest is for the energy that holds existence together – call it God, call it truth, or whatsoever you like to call it. Who holds this infinite existence together? What is the center of it all, the core of it all?
Science, philosophy, religion, all ask the same question. Their answers may differ but their question is the same. Religions call it God. Scientists will not agree with the word “God” ; it looks to personal. It looks too anthropomorphic, man oriented. They call it electricity, magnetism, energy fields; but only the name is different. God is an energy field.
Philosophers go on giving different names to it: the ultimate stratum, the absolute, the Brahma. From Thales to Bertrand Russel, they have supplied many answers. Sometimes some philosopher says it is water, liquidity; sometimes somebody else says it is fire – but the quest has been eternal. What holds this infinite universe together?
The mystics of ancient India known as the Bauls call it love, and to me, their answer seems to be most pertienent. It is neither personal nor impersonal. It has something of God in it, and something of magnetism in it also; something of the divine, and something of the earth.
Love has two faces. It is Janus-like; one face looks towards the earth, the other face looks towards the sky. It is the greatest synthesis conceivable: it comes out of lust and moves towards prayer; it comes out of mud and becomes a lotus facing sun.
This word ” love” has to be understood. What do we mean by the word “love”? One thing we certainly all mean is that it has a pull in it, great energy. When you fall in love, it is not that you do something – you are pulled in. It has a magnetic force. You gravitate towards the object of your love, you gravitate almost helplesly, you gravitate even against your will. It has a pull, a magnetic field – that’s why we call it “falling in love”. Who wants to fall? – but who can avoid it? When the energy calls you, suddenly you are no more your old self. Something bigger than you is pulling you, something greater than you is invoking you. The challenge is such that one simply runs into it headlong.
So the first thing to understand is: love is a great energy pull. The second thing: whenever you fall in love, suddenly you are no longer ordinary; something miraculously changes in your consciousness. Love transforms you. Falling in love, a violent man becomes kind and tender. A murderer can become so compassionate, it is almost impossible to believe. Love is miraculous – it transforms base metal into gold. Have you watched people’s faces and eyes when they fall in love? – you cannot believe that they are the same persons. When love takes possesion of their souls they are transfigured, transported into another dimension; and suddenly … and with no effort of their own, as if they are caught in the net of God. Love transforms the base into the higher, transforms earth into sky, transforms the human into the divine.
These two things: first, love is an energy field – scientists will agree – second, love is a transforming force; it helps you to become weightless, puts you on your wings. You can move towards the beyond. Religious thinkers will agree that love is both God and electricity; love is divine energy. The Bauls have chosen love because this is the most significant experience in man’s life. Whether you are religious or not makes no difference; love remains the central experience of human life. It is the most common and the most uncommon. It happens to everybody, more or less, and whenever it happens it transmutes you. It is common and uncommon. It is the bridge between you and the ultimate.
Remember the three L’s: Life, Love,Light.
Live is given to you; you are alive. Light is present, but you have to make a bridge between life and light. That bridge is love. With those three L’s you can make a total way of life, a way of being, a new way of being.
Bauls are not philosophers. They are more like poets – they sing, they dance, they don’t philosophize. In fact, they are almost antiphilosophical, because they have come to see that whenever a man becomes too head-oriented he becomes incapable of love – and love is going to be the bridge. A man who becomes too head – oriented goes farther away from the heart, and the heart is the center that responds to the call of love.
A head – oriented man is cut off from the universe. He lives in the universe, but lives as if in a deep stupor. He lives in the universe, but lives as a tree that has lost its roots. He lives only for a name’s sake: the sap of life is no more flowing. He has lost contact; he’s unconnected. That’s what alienation is.
The modern man feels to alienated, feels too much an outsider, does not feel at home, at ease with life, existence, the world. He feels almost as if he has been thrown into it, and it is a curse rather than a blessing.
Why has this happened? – too much head orientation, too much training of the head has cut all the roots from the heart. There are many people, who don’t know what the heart is; they bypass it. The heart is throbbing but the energy no longer moves via it. They bypass it; they go directly to the head. Even when they love, they think that they love. Even when they feel, they think that they feel. Even feeling is via thinking. Of course it has to be false.
Thinking is a great falsifier, because thinking is man’s effort to understand the universe, and love is God’s effort to understand man. Let me repeat it: when you try to understand God, or existence, or truth, it is your effort – a part, a very tiny part trying to grasp the whole, the infinite whole. The effort is bound to be doomed. It’s impossible. It cannot happen in the nature of things. Love is when God has found you. Love is when God’s hand is searching for you, groping for you. Love is when you are allowing God to find you. Hence, you cannot manage love. You can manage logic; you can be very, very efficient as far as logic is concerned. The moment love arises, you become absolutely inefficient.
Then you don’t know where you are, then you don’t know what you are doing, then you don’t know where you are moving. Then you don’t know any control. Logic is controlled; love is uncontrolled. Logic is manipulated; love is a happening. Logic gives you a feeling that you are somebody; love gives you a feeling that you are nobody.
Love arises in you when you allow God to enter you. When you are trying on your own, then the whole effort is absurd.
Please leave comments. I’m just speechless right now
Don’t worry, your parrots are safe. I’m talking about Pollyanna, that icon of blind optimism. You see, throughout my life I’ve been an incurable optimist. Optimism in itself is a wonderful thing: it gives us hope. But blind optimism, or the refusal to see people and circumstances for who or what they really are, can be detrimental to our well-being.
I’ve always prided myself on focusing on the best in people, in fact I’ve often said that I could get along with the devil himself if I had to. Unfortunately, looking back at my past experiences, I would say that I have put up with many people and circumstances that were clearly not good for me, just because I refused to focus on, or even truly acknowledge, the negative. My myopic optimism has not served me well- I’ve put up with tyrannical bosses, toxic friendships and men that carry around so much emotional baggage that we needed a bellhop 24/7. You cannot have clear vision if you are wearing rose-colored glasses.
Dr. Phil McGraw states that “people show you who they are, you just have to believe them.” I can’t think of a statement that is more true. We need to take people at face value, not filter them through our fantasy lens. Sometimes we want something so badly that we ignore what is really being presented to us. We choose to ignore red flags and we are attracted to people for “their potential” rather than for who they are. The problem is, most people never quite measure up to “their potential,” so what we’re stuck with is who they really are. The whole point is, we need to quit trying to make people into what we wish they could be, and just acknowledge who they are. Most people are great, and those are the people that I want to surround myself with, instead of wasting time with those that are not.
Now I’ll never be a cynic- it’s just not in my nature. However I am going to start calling a spade, a spade, instead of a diamond in the rough. I’m no longer going to blindly accept that all people have my best interest in mind and believe that all people are honest with me. Unfortunately experience has taught me otherwise. That being said, I still believe that there are wonderful people in our world and that life is a great adventure, but I’m no longer going to overlook the obvious just because I want to believe the best about everybody. So I’m taking off my rose colored glasses and finally enjoying 20/20 vision.
And as for Pollyanna? May she rest in peace.
Note from Shannon Buckley. I love Bohte’s realization that blind optimism is not the best way to go through life. As we continue to open up and let more light into our center, it is there that we find the strength to ask the tough questions and not take the truth personally.. Exactly what she is referring to stepping out of in this article! Thanks Bohte for another outstanding contribution!
Caution: There’s a whole bunch of truth in here. I’m being real- telling it like it is, it was and it’s gonna be. All three. You can keep your ears and eyes turned towards me. I am someone you can trust to do good with a lot. I have the best interest of everyone in mind here. All people are my people. All of them. And I have to start speaking up you guys. This typing this is entirely too quiet. I mean, I have you heard my voice? It’s LOUD. It carries. One of my roommates one time told me Im a muppet. lol >_<
So I'll begin by reaffirming how grateful that I am that I've come this far. By that I mean that I have learned how to step out of a whole bunch of drama, cherish my friendships, love my family, accept, be gentle with and care for myself.. all sorts of things. I think the one of the greatest things is actually finding a purpose for my life- That in itself is something people long to find their entire lives and some people never do. Isn’t it neat that my purpose is based so much on the experiences I went through? Things I used to use to blame others for are now my main fuel for moving my life forward. And it doesn’t stop there. Moving my life forward so that I can learn the nicest way to support others to do the same. It’s pretty beautiful, makes me want to cry a lil bit.
Do you hear me? I don’t know how many people actually comprehend the difference I feel inside in comparison to how I used to feel. I used to feel empty- satisfied only by things outside of myself- things, acheivements, friends, etc.. The difference is now I learned how to feel whole based completely on my existence. Not what I make, not what awards I have, not because I went to college, just because I am a perfect lil molecule of energy, just by being here! I’m not saying it’s been easy but it’s certainly been worth it. And what is really interesting to me is that some of you are probably in a space that is somewhat similar to where I was at and you may not have a problem with it. Some of the things that were going on for me might be going on for you and you might just accept it as the way things have to be? Maybe? I don’t know.
I can say from some of the conversations I have that “oh yea, we all go through that” Makes me want to laugh my face off and show you pictures of how miserable I used to be. I can’t even find one picture of me between like 4th-7th grade.. I destroyed them. My “best friend” and I used to have a notebook that we would pass back and forth between class periods and it was full of mean stuff about our friends, I had the greatest group of friends when I was young and innocent and I lost all of them because I got wrapped up in ego. My friend I met in 5th grade, I thought she had everything- clothes, looks, boys liked her.. my self worth evaporated around her and I literally put myself into an abusive situation in our friendship.. this went on for like 7 years. Total dysfunction and I crawled further and further into a hole where no one could reach me. I used to ditch class in high school all the time, sometimes by myself, sometimes with some friend.. it didn’t matter. I just didn’t want to be there. I was so bad because I didn’t know how to be good. How could such a sweet little girl have lost total direction like that? How is that possible?
It’s not okay. Feeling the way I did year after year because I didn’t have the tools for strong self-confidance is not okay. Now that I can forgive and move on I feel strongly about the ways I’d like to make a difference in the lives of others. I have discovered several and I am still uncovering what it was that was lacking, the things that opened doors for mis-behavior. One of the most ironic things is the fact that the internet was such a major part of my youth and of this confusing experience of self-loathing. I got America Online when I was 14 and my best friend and I would stay up all night (pretty regularly) talking to total strangers on IM, and this eventually became another tool for me to create more drama. I really just thought that there was always supposed to be “something going on” in a relationship or a friendship so I was just creating stuff I could talk about. It really was just a misunderstanding. I used to be in the gifted and talented program before all of this as well. I was on TV, I was a performer- I loved to choreograph and sing and dance! I was competing in talent shows, I could memorize entire movies, I was auditioning for plays, I even did a solo piece with the chior at the state capital one year for a holiday concert. Obviously I like to entertain. Obviously. Then for whatever reason I completely TORE APART this piece of me, opened myself up to judgement and self-ridicule and of course I stopped doing all of that. The great thing is that now I am putting it back together and I’m grateful to be able to do that, especially because life is SO FREAKING short but I’m going to tell you it’s hard! It feels good but it’s hard my friends. You spend year and year denying the most precious part of yourself and screwing yourself trying to make other people happy.. then finally decide it’s not worth it and want to get back to that. Is it just supposed to happen overnight? No I don’t think so- that sure would be nice. The feeling of peace I began to feel on Nov 1, 2008 did happen instantly and I’ll be forever grateful to Rico G for showing me that light…. but now it’s up to me to go back to that everyday when I wake up.. and constantly, over and over throughout the day. Like I mentioned earlier, life is so short that I just feel so grateful that I can literally have a second chance at life, because I could have lost it earlier. I almost threw it all away.. that never would have worked though, I have far too many gifts to leave this world with out sharing them… it’s just destiny my friends.
My entire life has shifted from somebody who used to blame her parents for everything and used to have friends that didn’t treat her well, would find value in drama. It’s funny too because I was THAT girl. I was THAT girl that said “oh I hate drama” yet that’s what I lived for. How could I be so confused? Humans are confused- I’ve accepted this, it’s okay. I do want to let you know that my major period of confusion was from the time I graduated from high school and went to college up until I I was a part of the worst relationship I could imagine. During this time I was of course desiring to become a successful, responsible young woman but the values I had been living by (or lack thereof) were really getting in the way and causing tons of distraction. I would set out to reach a goal and what do you know, I would reach it on some level (I’ve always been blessed that way)… but there would be excuses and bullshit drama along the way everytime. Or on the contrary was a simple lack of consistent enough relationships to have so many of the things i desired. I could go on and on about all the incredibly embarassing things I used to do, it’s terrible- seriously. I probably still do some of them but I don’t think any of it is happening to the extent that it used to. Since I have built my confidance and a better value system I make good decisions much more regularly.. and I think one big difference is having more courage to be present with the truth. The terrible things I mentioned aren’t happening anymore and some of that stuff is reserved for private conversations with the people close to me anyway. I had always been pretty hard on myself and the thing that has driven me to find a new way of being is a feeling inside me that the way I was living was just so wrong. So many of our behaviors as humans have confused me for a long time so that’s been part of my motivation to crack some of the codes and take responsibility to get to this place of living my life in a much cleaner fashion. I am not going to lie, I am still struggling with many demons and they are TOUGH! but am I running around bumping into people unconsciously and hurting people and acting foolish? No. I’m not.(at least I hope not!! please let me know if I am!!)
Every once in a while I step out of my comfort zone and give someone more credit than they probably deserve. I think this has something to do with the rose colored glasses that Bohte was writing about. Also I’ve been repeating the same patterns seeking “love” or what I thought was love. I think some of these patterns come from way deep in the subconscious mind. Places that can be difficult to view clearly or have strong awareness of. They are the behaviors that sneak up on us and cause us to act irrationally and then sometimes we don’t even know what happened until it’s too late. This is a tough area isn’t it. What really hurts when I put myself out there and the work I am doing to someone who really can’t grasp this level of self-awareness. I have to stop doing that, the emotions that it brings up inside..suck. What I enjoy about meeting men that I can reach deep levels of intimacy with is the depth that it takes me within myself.. I really enjoy that. At the same time it’s so abstract and non-logical. You realize that the ego is “logical” meh meh meh…. Oh I’m so logical, I think too much.. blah blah blah your face. Shut the front door. That ish is so dumb… love does not come from the mind you know. So I can reach these new levels of intimacy by not being afraid (intimacy= into me I see) neat huh. But I think there needs to be a better system to discover where the other person is at on this quest. Does anyone know of some questions that would support me to find this out before I go putting trust in a person that has no concept of this stuff? I want to honor this journey that I am on while participating in healthy relationships.
I want to talk to you about healing my physical body of emotional eating, fears of moving forward freely and picking myself apart (literally). These are three areas that are just BEGGING for attention right now. My mid section that is just not porportional to the rest of my body, my upper back which is almost deformed because of the fears I had about “what was going on behind my back” resulted in weird posture positioning. A foot issue that I am committed to healing on my own through stretching and finally letting go of hurting my skin when I see an imperfection. You want to talk about what I used to do- I used to pick on my skin like a freak- it was really bad. My arms and my face- the mirror would draw me in and I’d be there having these crazy thoughts and I’d get sucked in there for periods of time that I really can’t mention to you. I am very grateful for the lengths I have come in my healing. This just doesn’t go on anymore, sometimes I’ll give in for a minute or two but my new affirmation as of late is “I am putting so much goodness into my body that the desire to do anything bad or put anything bad into it isn’t even showing up” Just total respect for my Self and my Creator. It has to do with vibrations as well, as a conscious individual I undertand that all of my thoughts and actions are creating things in the universe. If I am to spend my time in the mirror analyzing myself at a degree that very few people even see.. that I’m not doing my job. You want to know what my job is? To inspire people!! hehe LOL I love my life. So that helps keep things clear for me, it’s my responsibility to put as many good vibrations into the universe and that doesn’t do that, so that’s another way I stay on the path of honoring my beauty.
Anyways, I wanted to be honest with you about some things today, because I used to be a bad place and I’m not anymore. You know this- You read the things I write about on Facebook, Twitter, Golden Age of Peace, Myspace.. here… all of this. I don’t know where all of you are at, but I used to feel like I was on one side of the grand canyon and the happy people were on the other side and I didn’t have a way to get across.. and then I found a way- and it was easy, and it is worth it. But it’s a different way of living. It’s called acceptance. I just want you to know I’ve been there. I’m pretty sure I had to put myself through mega pain so that I could learn how to relate to practically everyone out there. I guess there’s a whole bunch of people that need my support. If I had only subjected myself to one or two types of pain I wouldn’t be able to relate to very many people huh. That’s the challenge of my journey. is putting my impatience and reactions aside so that I can share the wisdom that is stored within me.. and it’s my work to connect with people now and at least bring some light their way I feel like I”m doing a pretty good job so far. At risk of sounding not present- I am so excited for my 30′s.. I am very lucky to have found my purpose already, and now that that I have identified my worst sources of self-sabotage I really don’t have to worry about my self messin up my own life anymore. And I’m only 28. Wow. I’m so lucky
You guys, I think I forgot to share some very exciting news..
I sold my car. I wanted to sell my car in 2009 and it wasn’t happening so I let up for a while and then I was having a conversation with a friend of mine and I offered to sell him my car and he took me up on it! It was divine… most certainly.
This was about 2 months ago.
I really loved my car but I can’t say I was truly able to maintain it at the level a Subaru WRX is deserving of… and I wasn’t driving it the way it would like to be driven either.. because after 3 tickets in 6 months I decided the law was for me. So I just accepted that, and started stopping at every yellow light and driving the speed limit. But here’s the thing..
I think driving sure is a lot of responsibility. It’s a responsibility that I have enjoyed for pretty much the entire time I have been the age to drive- the only time I haven’t had a car was when I was in Oregon during my freshman year of college.. and that was in Eugene- so that was a much smaller city than Denver!
I found myself driving around always wishing that I could be texting or talking to people so now I can! Also, I was always driving and it sort of isolated me from being around people. Which I’m pretty sure is not the way-do you ever wish you could walk around and smell flowers? and talk to people? And see all sorts of cool stuff? Yeah- for me I had to sell my car completely to be able to slow down as much as I knew I needed to. Now life moves at a much more reasonable pace.. I never feel as if I’m rushing! lol
Maybe not everyone would have to take such a drastic measure to be able to slow down, but its working for me.
My intention is to start sharing more stories about the bus and my adventures on it.
I left my “home” on Monday afternoon at 1pm. Went to Emily’s parents for dinner, went back to her house and watched the hangover. Woke up about 10:30 yesterday and made it to the bus stop by 12:30 and headed downtown. Didn’t start snapping photos until I arrived at Civic Center Park. Here’s some good ones for ya
Kiss my positive patch!
Grateful for family connections- that's Beetle.
Me chillin on the Fire Department stairs following the festival
This says "The universe is listening, what is your vision?" Hell yea!!
Praying works!
Later that night...
Mmm, nothing like walking and smelling the flowers!!
I am so grateful for the opportunity to work virtually. The web design course I took last year really saved me and put me into a new realm of creation. I’m having tons of fun learning about effective blogging and building my internet presence while making great connections and supporting the people I care about (oh jeez… that’s everyone) dang, I got a big job!
Oh yea, one last thing.. I got this while I was getting on the bus today “Can I give you my number? You just look so beautiful” ohhh sure. .you CAN do a lot of things buddy. Who am I to say what you can do?
