Daniel's Window

Great avatar! LOL!

Wow, we think so much alike Dan! I love to know what makes people tick too! It is so interesting to learn about people; the real person under what they want you to see.

I find myself instantly drawn to people who are real----not projecting an image of what they think will impress me.
These people don't care if you see them without their hair done, or their designer clothes on. They let you in their home when it's not so neat, and they say "so what?"
I am that way, and I think that's why people feel comfortable around me.

It's the people that try to be perfect, or something that they are not, that I do not trust so easily, and I have trouble getting close too.
Some of them you can make feel comfortable and secure enough to loosen up, but most of these perfectly fake people are set in their ways.

So that's what you really look like huh? All kidding aside, I think it's great to dream and aspire to be something, but most people unfortunately don't act on it...how sad. If you're not happy with yourself, ask yourself why and what can I do to change it. Take the NESTEA plunge and GO FOR IT! When I moved from the city to Long Island, my neughbors thought I was Mr. MOM...Why because I worked from home and took care of my daughter, while my wife was corporate and worked from the city. They coundn't understand the concept of me writing humor for famous comedians and knowing and working with all types of stars. Hey I dreamt about it, and now I'm doing it and when some of them dreamed about being rock stars and played air instruments...I did it. I got paid for my paintings?? Yes I did. It wasn't easy, but I juggled as many as three jobs at a time, but through perserverance I achieved my goals. In all three of these professions, challenge is key... And that challenge is broadened to world affairs, politics, the environment, the future for our children...and like me, I work for my community and my neighbors. When theey asked my what I did for a living, I reluctantly would tell them, but most of them thought that I was blowing smoke up their wazoos...bragging, trying to look better then they were...I wasn't! You asked and I told! Then someone would discover and old album of mine burried in the attic, or see my name on a humor colum in the paper, or walk into an office building and see one of my absteacts hanging in the lobby with my PAIVA signature on the bottom, and

oh and BTW Daniel... cool new avatar !

Good point Michelle; It's true that some people do judge you by your photo, and could definitely get to know you much better by just seeing your words.
In real estate you can't hide though, they force you to give them pictures for their advertising and business cards, so I'm used to having my photo out of hiding.

I defy my husband Daniel! So he learned to use phrases like "Let's watch Lifetime instead of football tonight" LOL!

Jane

I ASSURE YOU ALL, THAT i'M JUST AS SHALLOW AS MY PICTURE!!

BBB,
Who is that in that picture?

Daniel, I'm so excited!!

Jane it be me!! That was taken at the Fillmore East! I'll never look like that again unless I glue all the hair back on... Wow, I just might do that, what with the cold weather and all. What do ya think??

I was always better looking than him!

You aren't??

Hey Jane,

I call those kind of people "Plastic". They are molded to an idea of what they should be to others, or what they should look like, and unfortunately, because they are so occupied with what others think, they can't think for themselves and will never contribute anything important to society. I feel sorry for them because they are missing out on real life and all it's wonder. What is the saying? "A mind is a terrible thing to waste?" How true.

By the way, I also thought that was Cat Stevens! LOL

Have a wonderful rest of the night Jane!
