Those you align yourself with define you.

Sorry kids, but that's how it is. Those you choose to orbit your star say a lot about you and who you are and what you want out of life. When I was dating scandalous girls with piercings and questionable tattoo choices it screamed out that I was not really that interested in settling down and building a strong family. Look at who you are with. Do they speak volumes about the quality of your character? Would you want this person to help you rear your children? What's most important? Family. That's an easy one, and if it isn't you might need to take a step back and take a hard look.

Blogging solves everything.

Consistently I feel I am out of step with the times I live in. Technology swirls around me, and it is good, but all the same I feel I could live without it. People say stuff like that, but they don't really mean it. If I woke up tomorrow without electricity or cars I would be fine. I would collect my loved ones and walk into the mountains. I have no desire to become the uni-bomber or anything, but I can definitely see the allure of being away from the oft-times maddening machinations of man.
