World Friend Week

F – Few
   R – Relations 
       I – In  
          E – Earth 
                N – Never 
                      D – Die

“Give a thousand chances to your enemy to become your friend, But don't give a single chance to your friend to become your enemy.” ~Someone Smart

WELLL...let me just say, that this is an AWESOME quote. As a Christian, I know this is true. The Bible commands us to love our enemies. UGGG, i know. That is, like, the hardest thing to ever do!!! but hey, Jesus did it then so can i.

Even if you aren’t a Christian, it still has great meaning. Friends are the most special thing in the world. They should NEVER be taken for granted. You don’t have to have friends. They’re just life’s blessing to you.

Anywayz, if you don’t have friends (poor you!!), guess what? now you do!!! I’ll be your friend! :) Follow my blog and welcome to the world of friendship!

    it isn't world friends week. well, at least not exclusively. if you were in English honors you would know that it is banned books week. but i guess they could be the same week.

    "To be honest with you, I don't have the words to make you feel better, but I do have the arms to give you a hug, ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about, and I have a heart; a heart that's aching to see you smile again."

    so you didnt make the account?

    well, that is irrelevant. regardless of who made it, it was made specifically for you. and you are using it. and i am glad you are using an actual account. this account was either made by you for you, or was made by another for you. so that justifies my entire comment.

    but your straight "A"s are different than mine. examples: your chem regulars versus my chem honors. also your math versus my advanced math honors.

  22. RichOctober 17, 2011 at 4:30 PM

    i know, that is why i didn't say it WAS different. but since that does not give an extra grade point, one could say that their history regulars is the same as our history honors.

    Taquito-
    Intelligence is actually defined as the ability to be shrewd
    Exact from merriam webster:
    the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations : reason; also : the skilled use of reason (2) : the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (as tests) b Christian Science : the basic eternal quality of divine Mind c : mental acuteness : shrewdness

    soooo, richard is intelligent, but not smart...hmmm...

    ReplyDelete
  26. RichOctober 18, 2011 at 4:15 PM

    here is the definition for smart:

    quick or prompt in action, as persons.

    having or showing quick intelligence or ready mental capability: a smart student.

    shrewd or sharp, as a person in dealing with others or as in business dealings: a smart businessman.

    clever, witty, or readily effective, as a speaker, speech, rejoinder, etc.

    dashingly or impressively neat or trim in appearance, as persons, dress, etc.

    so by this and Taquito's post, i am both intelligent and smart.

    do you mean that i have an emotional attraction to people with above average intellects? Because that seems pretty much on the nose. If you aren't smart, you've got to be pretty...lucky. and you thought i was going to say something shallow, didn't you?

    i didn't expect you to get it that fast.

    To put it in Machiavellian words, you either gained "power" by fortune or ability. In your case, it was mostly fortune, though as Machiavelli said, you needed to have ability to keep that power.

  39. TaquitoOctober 27, 2011 at 5:18 PM

    um...for my small brain, can you explain that please? unless u don't want to, cuz then i wont force u

  40. JoJoOctober 27, 2011 at 6:37 PM

    and how do i keep that power if you still mite want another option?

    ReplyDelete
  41. RichOctober 28, 2011 at 3:41 PM

    one can gain power by fortune, but it takes ability to keep it. see chapter 7 of The Prince for this. An example given is Duke Valentino. He gained power by fortune, but kept it because of his ability. Sadly, bad fortune took away what good fortune as well as ability granted.

  42. taquitoOctober 28, 2011 at 6:13 PM

    did u just gave away the ending of "prince"?

    ReplyDelete
  43. JoJoOctober 29, 2011 at 12:25 PM

    no he didnt. the book doesnt have an ending.

    whats the point of ability or fortune or power if it gets me no where??

    ReplyDelete
  44. RichOctober 30, 2011 at 6:38 PM

    having and using are different.

    and yes, The Prince does have an ending. The ending is a plea for Italians to unite and rid Italy of foreigners. That is why he added the poem at the end. To encourage those who wanted, like him, to have a united Italy.

    ReplyDelete
  45. JoJoOctober 30, 2011 at 8:05 PM

    i said neither having or using. all i want to know is the point of fortune, in my case, if it has gotten me practically no where. is it that i havent made a move?

  46. RichOctober 31, 2011 at 5:12 PM

    fortune is opportunity. Ability is realizing it and taking action.

    those with great ability need little of fortune. When even a small chance comes, they can take advantage of it.

    okay. u definitely have some ability

  50. TaquitoNovember 5, 2011 at 9:36 AM

    okay, so now u gave away the ending(not that i really care)

    and yes jojo i agree, he has the fortune and ability to give away stories' endings

  51. RichNovember 6, 2011 at 8:36 PM

    of course. because that was completely what we meant with absolutely no subtext.

  52. JoJoNovember 6, 2011 at 9:58 PM

    exactly. read this subtext richard. listen to what people actually say! sometimes there is no subtext!! they'll tell it to you straight because they think you deserve to know whats true instead of LEADING SOMEONE ON!!!

  55. RichNovember 10, 2011 at 4:51 PM

    what if the leader doesn't know where said leader is going? Maybe aforementioned leader is wandering aimlessly throughout the wide world trying to find something...or just wants to see the world as that leader passes by.

  56. JoJoNovember 10, 2011 at 10:16 PM

    then i guess the follower could have given help if asked instead of being ignored

    the leader might not need help.

    and look where that got this leader

    ReplyDelete
  59. RichNovember 14, 2011 at 5:14 PM

    assuming you haven't violated your own rules (read this subtext richard...there is no subtext!!), I don't know what you mean. Since there is absolutely no subtext, again per your own rules, your message makes no sense. Since we are talking about an unspecified, generic leader, you can't appeal to events from this unspecified, generic leader. Because we don't know anything about this leader. Hence, unspecified, generic leader. That is the only way to prevent all theoretical subtext, per, as i previously stated; your own request.

  60. JoJoNovember 14, 2011 at 8:16 PM

    ahh, you missed some words. I said SOMETIMES there is no subtext. In this case there was.
    i felt like you lead me on to where there was a dead end. I felt trapped and having no room to move. whatever happened the morning of the gender blender chapel, changed both of us somehow. that was kind of our ending point. if im wrong tell me. i want to figure this out.

    ReplyDelete
  61. RichNovember 14, 2011 at 8:33 PM

    you are in fact wrong. well, i can't say if it changed you, but it definitely did not change me. my mind was made up before, and i have not changed it since.

    as to me leading you on...well, you could say that to a point, i guess. that is all i will comment to that.

    yes, the chapel did change me. it made me see that communication is the best thing for any friendship. and other things too, but I don’t need to tell you everything that happens in my life, now do i?
    but can you tell me what went wrong only so i can learn from my mistakes?
