"What in heaven's name am I doing?" Hell, if only I had the answer to that...
Just here to catch up with friends etc. No personal photos or really any personal info here. This is all for fun. Y'all probably have enough other friends IRL (in real life) - I'm just hanging here in the web as a leisure activity.
I am married, employed, of age, and the proud owner of a miniature poodle.

About me on FUBAR:
I love making lolcats/catmacros and most recently those parodies of inspirational posters. I post them everywhere...
This is my favorite of the posters :P (its a knockoff of one for MMORPG - feel free to rip it's in my album)...
Got bored and knocked off another one inspired by a MUMM...
I spend a fair amount of time in the MUMMs. I love the discussions and advice sharing. I love funny comments. I'm not a fan of venomous behavior - but such is the way the MUMMs are.
I generally post lolcats/catmacros. My penchant for this lead to Illusion making my very own mark for the MUMMs :) Thank you again Illusion :)
Most of my friends I met in the MUMMs or by returning rates for photos. They are a good lot and if you want to meet some cool people by all means go through my friends list :)

In "real" life:
Well - I generally think of myself as pretty happy:
I love to read...
The Hunt for Red October, LOTR, The Hobbit, Commentaries on Sun Tzu's Art of War, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Dilbert Principle, The Hitchhikers Guide trilogy, Lila, Illusions, Jonathan Livingston Seagull...
I'm not a big movie fan but I have some favorites I return to...
The Shawshank Redemption, Second-hand Lions, A River Runs Through It, The Matrix Trilogy, LOTR, The Hunt for Red October, Office Space, Legends of the Fall, Willow, The Princess Bride, Erin Brockovich, ...

This is frequently mis-posted on the web (usually with an Irish Proverb at the conclusion) but I finally tracked down the original and have credited the appropriate author. Its a great poem - and food for thought.
Now if only I can quit waiting...
Happiness
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?
Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one...
So stop waiting...
until you finish school,
until you go back to school,
until you lose ten pounds,
until you gain ten pounds,
until you have kids,
until your kids leave the house,
until you start work,
until you retire,
until you get married,
until you get divorced,
until Friday night,
until Sunday morning,
until you get a new car or home,
until your car or home is paid off,
until spring,
until summer,
until fall,
until winter,
until you are off welfare,
until the first or fifteenth,
until your song comes on,
until you've had a drink,
until you've sobered up,
until you die,
until you are born again
So stop waiting...
to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.
