@kiligirl ~ Hello Dear. It is 9:45 a.m. here atm .. it has been a long night Indeed. After reading this post, I decided to put on a pot of coffee and just plow on through, or "Break on through to the other side"!
The more I read, the more I respect you. ALL BS aside. This post really touched me, "Deep inside ..The day, the music ... died" I guess I am different than most american males, I detest the macho crap, although I am still able to "Handle myself" when push comes to shove, but empathy is a very special word to me. Because of what I have seen our society de-volving into and the way people in this country treat others hurts me so bad that I have become a recluse and want nothing more in the world than to get back up into the mountains and live in peace and isolation.
Until I read this post.
6th Wave is just so damn sexy ! I want to do SOMETHING ! I WAS married for 25 years, one of the main reasons I married her was because she said that she shared my dream of someday adopting like 25 underprivileged or abused kids, because I have always had this "need" to help others. (she lied)
You make me want to do something ... What ? I am not sure yet, but you have certainly lit a fire in my heart that has been gone for several years now, Thanks Hon.
You know, Matt Damon has an office in Kansas City, or used to, he was involved with I believe digging or supplying water pumps in impoverished villages in Africa if I'm not mistaken. I have been wanting to call him for a couple years just to see if he is still involved. I used to be an electronics tech and electrician and love solar power. If you see where I'm going with this .. i could be doing SOOO much MORE. Hiding in my cave is not helping anyone, and damn sure not me. This isolationist crap is killing me inside. "I got two strong arms, I can help" (Old song) I NEED to be helping, I need my life back.
This comment is not actually about me, it's about you ! This post brought tears to my eyes, both sadness and tears of joy. I have known you for what? 2 days ? But I have to say, I am SOOO proud of you ! You have joined the ranks of not a human being, but a HUMANE being.
This post is 2 months old, I am so excited to know that by now, you are already actively engaged in the formation of 6th Wave. WOOT !!! You GO Girl !, lol
There are a thousand things I would like to say, but I will leave it at that.
Good Luck new friend !!! "You can DO IT!!" /hugs
Read More, Reason More ... JTS
