  1. Hmm. You seem to be smiling a lot. Have you heard it said that ignorance is bliss? And here you are, one happy guy.
    :D

  3. Yes...I recognize a few % of the population suffer from serious depression, for them, being happy is not a choice. For the rest of us, being happy is largely a choice, and we have the power to be happy any time we choose.

  4. Well, I can tell you that Suzanne Malveaux and Ashley Judd have the power to make me happy, but they have yet to exercise that power.

  6. Nah, that's not my style. I tend to play "hard to get." Of course, in my case that typically translates to "hard to know he's alive" for most women. It's a work in progress. I'm still tweaking the variables.

  7. "playing hard to get" is a synonym for insecure.this ain't a dress rehearsal .. this IS the play :/

  8. Yeah, but my female co-stars keep fudging their lines and turning what should have been a full-length production into a one-act play.

  9. my iq is over 155 n I see my self as pretty stupid, just alot smarter than the general population. I don't see why you feel so smart, bill gates has 160+ iq n he still drinks beer with balmer.

  10. An intelligent person is not necessarily a person with a high IQ, or someone with a PhD.

    An intelligent person is someone who knows himself and is honest with himself.
