Wait, there's a video?

I had one of these for a time.

So, I had a good day. Middle part got me down a bit, but I said -Grif- it, I wear the mark of Green Lantern on my arm. That stands for willpower and I need to represent what I put on my body. I got the Green Lantern symbol because I am a Green Lantern fan. However, I wanted to exude more willpower. I wanted to use the willpower to make better choices in my life.

This past year, I have really cut back on the amount of anger I had. It has been a liberating experience. I would like to credit it mostly to maturity, but I am not really sure.

I got back into school after nine years. it was scary for me, because I am so afraid of failure, that I will not even try. I know that is not logical, but it is how I process things. I had a trying time last year. I will not get in the details, but I went though something very hurtful. In spite of that, I am continuing on and making myself as best as I can.

To bring it full circle, you are in charge of your emotions. you can figure out what is making you sad, down, etc. and fix that issue. Know that life will go on and that you will be as wonderful/amazing/beautiful/handsome as you were the day before. Remember, you have the willpower to do anything.

What's next? An "ask Dragon Anything" thread?

That was very nice tex, i have more than a few quotes like that are completely my own.

Do well in school but remember..........priorities

I'm still waiting for said video to appear

So I am never going to live the bucket story down I am sure, but what the hell if it gave people something to talk about.

Today, I am hopeful. Hopeful that ignorant people who use the internet to be anonymous to say what they would never say in person, who use it to tear down others because they themselves hurt, who use it to just share misery and suffering mature. I hope these people can see, while they really might feel better for a short time for whatever they do, they are digging a hole in their soul or in their heart.

I have come to learn it is far more rewarding to try to be nice as possible to people, as opposed to going for the "lolz". I have made many amazing friends by trying to be nice, and it is something that has even saved my life.

When someone says something about/to you on the forums, on twitter, on facebook, on XBL, do not let it get to you. If they are accusing you of something, clear it up and just let it go. These people need the attention, they thrive on getting you worked up and want that reaction. You will do a world of good for you and them if you just let it be. The fire will burn itself out.

Feel sorry for them, they do not know what they are missing or how they are hurting themselves. Pity their loss, but do not try to save them. They will have to learn on their own for the most part. When the time comes, and they might realize the err of their ways, be the bigger person and accept them.

I hope these words of wisdom are taken to heart. They will save you a lot of heart ache and frustration.

Today will be less heartfelt and more comical.

Have you ever noticed when you go out on those first dates, you have to pass gas a lot more. I remember when I would be on a first date I would have massive gas build up, and of course not pass till she was dropped off for the night.

When you were finally alone, you would release the gas, and dear God you thought it was the trumpet of the Lord sounding his majestic return. I urge to employ the use caution, as you might get more than you bargained for.

Do no fear or shun your enemies, pray for them. That's usually how I go about life in general. Anybody that has met me on live will all say the same thing about me. I am a funny guy but I'm always nice to everyone. I'm also always the first to help someone out in need. You make a great point though about people e-bashing since they don't have the gall to do it in real life Tex. I'm always prepared to defend myself when it comes to such banter, so my stand on that is, be prepared to hear some if you say some haha!

I really like the HUB's community. I remember when it was just the staff posting everyday. I consider the staff my family as I care about them very much. But everyone in our community is so nice and caring. It is really an amazing thing to see how mature and respectful all of you can be.

Now of course we all get upset at times, but I have notice that this community expresses their feelings in a positive light, and tries to solve the situation, rather than tear another person down. That is the way all things should be handle and speaks bounds about this site, and the community that supports it.

In short, I want to say thank you to you all. From twitter, to the forums, from facebook, to xbl, y'all are always great to interact with, and I have a blast every time. Thank you so much for being a part of this site.

You're welcome Tex ^_^
