7. That's a good one
I guess my greatest thing is similar. I volunteered with an AIDS agency and was assigned a buddy to help. For 6 years I cleaned his house, did his shopping, whatever he needed. And I was there to hold his hand as he died. I'll never forget it.

Sorry about your Mom.

9. That's something I'd like to get involved in.
Was this an every day involvement, or a couple times a week?

That's a really great thing for you to do.

12. Threw a one-hit shutout in the Championship game in Little League.
Edited on Thu Oct-11-07 11:17 AM by XNASA
In the same game, I came to the plate in the 1st inning and hit the first pitch to me over the left field fence for a 2 run homer.

Other than that, I really haven't accomplished much.

18. Being there for people when they needed it
There are a few instances I can think of. And it might be the only thing in my life that I can be truly proud of.

22. I HAVE done one braver thing
I HAVE done one braver thing
Than all the Worthies did ;
And yet a braver thence doth spring,
Which is, to keep that hid.

It were but madness now to impart
The skill of specular stone,
When he, which can have learn'd the art
To cut it, can find none.

So, if I now should utter this,
Others—because no more
Such stuff to work upon, there is—
Would love but as before.

But he who loveliness within
Hath found, all outward loathes,
For he who color loves, and skin,
Loves but their oldest clothes.

If, as I have, you also do
Virtue in woman see,
And dare love that, and say so too,
And forget the He and She ;

And if this love, though placèd so,
From profane men you hide,
Which will no faith on this bestow,
Or, if they do, deride ;

Then you have done a braver thing
Than all the Worthies did ;
And a braver thence will spring,
Which is, to keep that hid.

-- John Donne

(Oh yeah - I also jumped my skateboard over Springfield Gorge. That other poster is full of shit.)

30. I was thinking about this
I have 2 wonderful kids
I still do not comprehend this...
wtf did I do???

and I was there to hold my baby brothers hand when he died of aids....
I was there to give my big brother CPR..... it didn't work...
I was there to be a caregiver to my Mother when she came home to die...
but you know what.....these were privileges......
and I was honored....

lost



I also donated an obscene amount of money to habitat for humanity
dedicated to Katrina homes.....

but even that is an honor.....
hey

If you have it
share it.....
