Why Me?
I often ask myself this question, and this week more than ever. I know this sounds like laziness, and hey, maybe it is, but never let anyone know the extent of your capabilities. Now your thinking I lost it, and frankly, I had nothing to lose. I love helping people, but I get to busy helping people to keep up with work and school and life in general. My phone rings nearly constantly (never get a cell phone, but if you must, never give your number to anyone) usually people of the female persuasion, always with a question about when I have time to help them. When I was young, long ago, I thought it would be neat to learn all I could about everything. I became proficient in nothing but whining, but did learn many trades in the process. Back then life was good, no rent, no school, just eat, sleep, work and hunt. Then, somewhere along the line, me in my great brilliance decided to fix someone's car as a favor. Before I know it, here I am, fixing cars, roofing, building flat beds and trailers, and doing a thousand other carpentry and construction related things, all for free! I hate to say no, but this is it. If you or anyone you know has a problem with anything, feel free to call someone else. From now on, I am a poor college student, and I know nothing about anything. All this is to say, either avoid people altogether, (not a bad idea) especially women, never learn to do anything (this to saves you down the road), or best of all, pretend to know little. This will keep you from having to work constantly, making no money. Helping people is truly a blessing to you, but can be overdone, putting untimely wrinkles in your fair complexion. Help few, learn little, and enjoy a restful, happy life! (I wish this were true too).

Well Amos I think you ask the wrong question.
I must say I did not mean to end my comments so soon. I was testing the longin and publish button when all of the sudden there it was published....lol.... Well I must remain anonymous but maybe later I will reveal my identity. Untill then I commend your gift of serving others. You inspire me. As for my comment on asking the wrong question, I think my punch line was you are chosen and therefore, the question is not why you but rather why not you. I say this in a somewhat sarcastic way, so don't take it the wrong way. Just want to offer some encouragement in a differnet way.
Well even if you are to good to tell me who you are, I do appreciate the encouragement. And, should you ever feel nice, I'd like to know who you are so I can decide to heed your advice or ignore it.
I feel compeled to reveal my identity. Also, I think you might just be suprised, but at any rate I am Kyle. I don't have an account so that is why I had to be anonymous. I am totaly taken by this way of communicating. It's totaly cool. Well hope school and things are going well for you. I am managing to stay alive. Keep it real.
