Quote:Luck, Grace, the will of the Great Spaghetti Monster, the right quantum twist within that one particle that pushed you in the right direction...  I don't know...  

 

I've met alot of folks that could have been me except for a wrong turn here or there.  Hell, I could have been alot better off if not for a wrong turn here or there that slowed my growth.  There are alot of moments in my life that could have turned really bad for me as well.  In my mind, to think that I've done what I've done all by myself just seems to selfish...This Universe is a crazy place.  I think there are indeed slackers out there.  But I've met alot of people that could have gotten just as far as me or further if they didn't get kicked in the gonads at a key point in their lives.

 

I respect you, Eric.  From reading about your life, I absolutely know you kicked butt to get where you are.  I'll just leave it at that... 

 

No hard feelings here man, I like you too I just hate the idea that we need government to make people better. It's always been my experience that government creates the hardships. 

 

We just need more people willing to make the sacrifices to get out of the bad situations there in. My hardships where almost all self-inflicted, had I not been able to admit that I'd still be struggling.
