    ...A few facts that I always choose to believe, but I dont count on it because its not always true..."it will always get worse before it gets better"...or "everything happens for a reason".."everyday is a new day"...I like to believe those words but I was at my worst and it still has not gotten any better, everything happens for a reason, well I know for sure things happen (even the bad things) and I still dont have a reason, ya everyday is a new day, but even when the next day is a new day, doesn't mean its a better day!

    Everything does happen for a reason, but sometimes the reason is that you were stupid and had a bit too much to drink.

    I always believed that women who have babies are legally obligated to seek child support from the baby's father. I found out this isn't true and even though I am liberal and don't mind supporting government assistance programs, it REALLY freaking ticks me off that some guys out there could be working for a living and should be obligated to pay child support but because the girl is too dumb, scared, or whatever...she is not pursuing it so that assistance for her child has to come out of everyone else's pocket. WTF!!!!!!!!

    When I was growing up, our father would tell us all the time what a nice guy he was.(not that he is not a nice guy). He would tell us to ask anyone they would tell us the same. It drove me and my sister crazy. Worse thing people would come up to us to tell us what a Nice guy are dad was all the time. No kid wants to hear this twenty times a day. These people always came to us so sincere, mean while we omg them rolled our eyes and it got so bad before they even walked up we would be saying please don't.

    So here is the part I never knew, until I am sad to say just this year. Was that my father told all those people to tell us these things. When he told me this fact, I thought he was going to bust a gut laughing so hard. It has to be the longest running joke in history for him.
