Written by a guy

I have no idea who wrote this, but I wish I would have.  It completely sounds like something I would say and have said many times before.

 

We don't care if you're friends with other guys.  But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off.  It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there. We don't care if a guy calls >OR TEXTS< you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned. Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. that it can't wait till the morning. 

Also, when we tell you you're pretty/ beautiful/ gorgeous/cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it.  Don't tell us we're wrong.  We'll stop trying to convince you.  The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence.  Yeah, you can quote me. 

Don't be mad when we hold the door open. Take Advantage of the mood i'm in.  Don't "feel bad".  We enjoy doing it.  Smile and say "thank you." 

Kiss us when no one's watching.  If you kiss us when you know somebody's looking, we'll be more impressed. 

You don't have to get dressed up for us.  If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the need to  wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own.  We like you for who you are and not what you are.  Honestly, I think a girl looks more beautiful when she's just in her pj's. or my t-shirt and boxers, not all dolled up.

Don't take everything we say seriously.  Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it.

Don't get angry easily.

Stop using magazines/media as your bible.

Don't talk about how hott Chris Brown, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us.  It's boring, and we don't care. You have girlfriends for that.

Whatever happened to the word "handsome"/"beautiful"
I'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with "Hey handsome!" instead of "Hey baby/stud/cutie/sexy" or whatever else you can think of.  On the other hand i'm not sayin I woulndn't like it ether ;)

Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren't being treated right by a guy, don't wait for him to change. ditch his sorry ass, disgrace to the male population, and find someone who will treat you with utter respect.  Someone who will honor your morals.  Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest.  Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes.  Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel.  Someone who will stop what they're doing just to look you in the eyes....and say "I love you" ..and actually mean it.

Give the nice guys a chance.

*Holdin Hands
Girls :If you want to hold his hand, gently bump into it a couple of times.
Guys : Grab it if it happens more than once.

*Cuddling
Girls : When you want to cuddle with him, tell him you're cold
Guys : Automatically move closer to her.

*Movies
Girls : During a movie, if he puts his arm around you, tilt your head on his shoulder.
Guys : Lift her chin up and kiss her.

*Loving each other
Guys : When she tells you she loves you, look deep into her eyes, give her a peck on the lips, and tell her you love her
too... And mean it.

*Laying below the stars
Girls : When you're both laying under the stars, put your head on his chest and close your eyes as you listen to his steady heart beat
Guys : Whisper in her ear and link your hands with hers.

Thanksgiving Thoughts

As Thanksgiving 2007 approaches, I reflect on the past couple of months.  In my previous post you see the official AF message that went out 5 hours or so after my accident...........

Now, for those of you that don't know me that well may automatically judge me...as many have.  That's ok, it's human nature, and your entitled to your opinion.  However, I am one of those people that believe everything happens for a reason.  Why did this happen??  Well, unfortunately I don't know the exact reason at this point in my life, but I do know that it has really taught me the meaning of true friendship.  I have had many people support me since the accident and no matter what were right by my side.  I am so thankful for the friends I have been blessed with.  Without their support and encouragement, my life could be on a very different path.  However, there were many there putting a boot in my ass when I needed it and ensured I got out of the rut.  There is still a ton of shit that lies ahead.  I still have a criminal court case pending as well as punishment from the Air Force.  Even with all of that going on, I know that I will be ok and that my life isn't bad at all.  See, I'm one of the lucky ones.  I really shouldn't be here right now.  I broke my neck in two places and should have died.  What amazed the doctors even more is that I am walking.  There was an hour or so when I was in the emergency room that I had no movement in my legs and feet.  The doctor would tell me to wiggle my toes and I thought I was, but there was no movement.  Everything came back a couple of hours later.  I went into surgery Sunday morning and there were 5 similar surgeries the same day and before I went under the doctor looked at me and said that I would be the only one walking afterwards.....

Many of you also know that I was in two IED attacks during my year in Iraq.  On 5 Jan 2006 we never made it to our destination that day and two soldiers gave their life with 5 days from going home.

I tell you all of this to illustrate just how thankful I am for EVERYTHING I have.  No matter what happens with the court case and punishment, it's not that bad.  I got to come back from Iraq and even though I have made some extremely bad decisions since than, I got a second chance and am able to take what is about to fall upon me.  There are many out there that don't get the opportunity I have been given.

Well, I hope that if nothing else this have given you pause to sit and reflect on the things you are thankful for.  I am just as guilty as the next person for getting caught up in the daily grind and taking things for granted.  However, I've learned that life is short and can change in an instant so try to live everyday likes it's your last and never forget that no matter what is going on in you life, it isn't that bad in the big scheme of things.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!
