Being a Friend…

Posted in Pring Photography with tags definition, friend, joke, know on July 11, 2009 by Elvis

I know someone that I have been friends with for so long, and I mess with him too much. I joke around, and I feel that he doesn’t even want to put up with me, but he does. I don’t even know how he even puts up with me, I can’t even stop thinking how my friend would put up with me. I guess he is a true friend that finally understands what kind of person I am. I have no definition of a “friend” but the point of a friend is that the person is always there where you can count on them the most. I feel very fortunate to know a friend like that, thanks guys for putting up with me after all these years. Even friends like to joke around, but not too much… What is your definition of a “friend”?

I like to dedicate this post to all me friends out there, you know who you are… Thanks!

My Opinion…

Posted in Pring Photography with tags life, questions, opinion, answers, path, wondering, how, why, when, where on July 10, 2009 by Elvis

I have always wondered what will become of me in the next 10 years or so… But the question, I believe, is left up to me and how I progress and approach life. I must stay on the positive path and think not of the negetive entity. I feel as though my life is just left with more questions than answers. It just bothers me to not know what life will throw at me, but that’s how life is and I have to live with that. I feel isolated from the path of answers, to the the path of questions. Nothing in me says that life is easy (but I fighured that one out already) but it seems to me that I am missing a peice of my puzzle. Will I ever find that puzzle, can I really live life just wondering? It seems to me that I will try to go on to live life the way it is, and prepare myself for whatever lies ahead, but that’s just me… What do you think?

The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.
Atisha

Do not speak- unless it improves on silence.
You can explore the universe looking for somebody who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself,
and you will not find that person anywhere.

Conquer the angry man by love.
Conquer the ill-natured man by goodness.
Conquer the miser with generosity.
Conquer the liar with truth.
The Dhammapada

The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love.
Jennifer Edwards

To deny the reality of things is to miss their reality;
to assert the emptiness of things is to miss their reality.
The more you talk and think about it, the further astray you wander from the truth.
Stop talking and thinking and there is nothing you will not be able to know.
Hsin Hsin Ming
