		<description>&quot;There is always Tomorrow, after all.&quot;

Y&#039;know, I&#039;ll bet that&#039;s just what President Kennedy was thinking just as his motorcade arrived at Dealey Plaza...

Seriously, it&#039;s frightening how &quot;everyday living&quot; can sneak up on you and before you know it rob you of the reason *why* you&#039;re living.

That being said, it&#039;s important to have a support system in place for those times when the rocket inevitably blows up on the launch pad, or especially if it misfires a lot (&quot;Maybe I&#039;m *really* not cut out for of such and such, or am I just repeating mistakes which *I* cannot see but which a friend might spot?&quot;) But suppose you&#039;re an introvert or social phobic who doesn&#039;t have a large social circle?

I totally hate to recommend social networking sites (*especially* that royalty of precious-time-wasters, F***b**k) but if a real-world confidant isn&#039;t available, the members of such networks might be the best alternative you can come up with, especially if said network caters to folks in your situation (and especially if you don&#039;t let it become a time sink!). Quality of such networks can vary wildly; choose carefully and don&#039;t be afraid to go elsewhere if need be.</description>

		<description>You are amazing. A rapturous combination of my asskicker Karol Gajda and soul string plucker Elizabeth Gilbert. 

Love the facility with words &amp; ability to speak my own feelings/thoughts. How did you come by these skills? 10000 hours as ...Malcolm Gladwell? Says?</description>
