Sometimes you can forget about who you are in a relationship. But you can also be inspired by the person you are with to become something you always knew you wanted to become.
In a relationship when things are really great you don't need to say anything and just enjoy the other person. Sometimes with a couple it gets dark and you don't know what to say and that silence can last all day. Other times you don't want to stop talking because you don't want to lose one another.
I'm not a terrible person I know that but sometimes in a relationship I can be crappy.
Oh the relationship with actors and managers and agents and things is a terrible problem sometimes.
People who supported Obama felt like they formed a relationship that they were being spoken to. The way that campaign worked and the way he's worked during his first term is to make people feel like he's grasping their hand whether it's by tweeting or email moments after an event sometimes during an event. It makes people relate to him.
It seems I have a hard time being attracted to someone unless I respect what they do on some level. Otherwise I would feel disdain for them. Which is not always pleasant in a relationship. Sometimes it's fun though.
Sometimes I think the world is divided into those who have a comfortable relationship with power and those who have a naturally adversarial relationship with power.
We run into some pretty tough arguments sometimes but the idea is that at the end of the day my wife and I realize that we'll always be holding each other's hand. This is a lifelong relationship and after 12 years she hasn't gotten rid of me yet.
All men want to be treated like kings in a relationship and I think if women don't indulge that sometimes their men are likely to stray and look for someone who can give that to them.
And I think if you look at any relationship for the relationship to be productive and to move forward and to grow sometimes things have to be said that one person or the other person is not going to like to hear.
I don't know what I would have done without believing in God. His support gives me power and energy to continue to be optimistic to smile not to be depressed. Sometimes if things are not going so well I don't cry. I say maybe it's meant to be.
Sometimes power is all a person has so they will protect it even unto their own destruction for without power they have nothing.
People who avoid the brick walls - all power to ya but we all have to hit them sometimes in order to push through to the next level to evolve.
Sometimes negative news does come out but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women that is the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects.
So we have choice and sometimes it seems very hard but the best way to heal physically or emotionally is to keep positive.
I think sometimes in life we want to ignore the problems of society and just think about the good. I believe in positive thinking and affirmative living I also think it's really important to remember all of our disenfranchised members of society.
Sometimes a good love song can change the world and create positive energy more than any political song can.
Sometimes you're not even sure which of your stories were failures. There are things I've written that I thought were complete catastrophes when I finished with them that have gone on to generate some of my most positive feedback.
I had many teachers that were great positive role models and taught me to be a good person and stand up and be a good man. A lot of the principals they taught me still affect how I act sometimes and it's 30 years later.
What I really like is an intelligent review. It doesn't have to be positive. A review that has some kind of insight and sometimes people say something that's startling or is so poignant.
Sometimes the most positive thing you can be in a boring society is absolutely negative.
In politics sometimes you have to lie or you make a promise that you cannot keep.
Sometimes when I listen to fellow progressives I wonder if the only lesson we took away from the '04 elections is that politics is a word game.
I cry sometimes because I'm not 20 years younger and I'm not healthy. But if I were I would even sacrifice my writing to enter politics.
My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make listening being objective and open-minded and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger.
