Words to live by #1

"Fear knocked at the door.
Faith answered.
No one was there."
- my fortune cookie from last night

Don't you dare remember me.

2010.

This new year doesn't mean a new "me." My flaws will still be my weaknesses, my fears and guilt will still haunt me, and my bad habits will still annoy and affect the people around me. I'm no hypocrite. My only new year's resolution is to be better than you. I own 2010.

This morning at a Detroit airport, a Nigerian man tried to blow up a plane as it landed. So let me get this straight, I'm not allowed to bring any type of lotion, drink, water, hand sanitizer, etc. on any plane..

"Trust is a fragile thing. Once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom. But once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Of course the truth is, we never know who we can trust. Those we're closest to can betray us, and total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned."
