Who knew ...............

Its amazing the more I live life the more I figure out its more of a mystery than whats explained. I mean who knew that the line out of the movie Shooter was true when they are at the "gun expert's" house and he tells them the more you have life figured out the more it turns out to be more confusing lies.

I guess after being snake bitten for so long, I was gunshy the one time I shouldn't of been. Now it seems I have ruined what was the best thing in my life cause I thoght it was yet another trick.

Who knew ...............

Confidence or Conceit?

When does confidence become conceit or the other way around?

I mean I understand being assured of yourself, but when is enough too much?

I mean I have a friend that runs a Yahoo community and he acts like whenever he has something planned that we all just need to drop everything we're doing and run to him and his event. I don't mind going to some of them, but others I do mind and I avoid. And over that sometimes he is not a good planner. Good example, early December we were talking about Christmas and New Year's and he was saying he wasn't sure of what was going on .... So we let it go with no more discussion. Week before Christmas he tells us he has to work because of a promotion and all. So most folks I know made other plans by then an some of us even told him that we were not changing plans that short before New Year's. So I hear nothing back and go do my own thing. Well, next day I go back to his comunity and he has a vulgar post put up - followed by another post that says the first one sums it up for him. So I spoke my mind and quit the group. Now I am being told that I was in the wrong for telling him off and quitting. I told em I thought it was my right and that I thought I wasn't out of line. I got told that he had every right to do and say as he did because he owns the comunity( they're giving them away for free- how is that ownership). I mean since when did joining someone's online community constitute waiving your freedom of speech rights? I mean if that did happen I missed the passage of the law or amendment to put it to power. At any pace, now I have spent a few days of having people tell me how awful and how stupid I am for what I did. I m just curious about some other views or questions on the situation.
