We all have mixed feelings about growing up. Some look forward to it, others want to stay young forever. Well, the cold hard truth is we all have to grow up eventually. That means putting aside all of our differences and accepting everyone for who they are. As The Maine quoted in their song titled, &lt;em&gt;Growing Up: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Graduate. Whats a kid to do now? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Get away (yea-ah). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We've got so much to prove.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cause it's time to move on.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and I stuck to let go......Growing up won't bring us down"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, many people who are graduated first think what am I going to? Shoot for your biggest dream and try to make it come true or just be a normal person? This also comes to show that growing up will bring challenges and that you gotta prove everyone that you can be a somebody in the world. The last part is simple. Move on from high school and look forward to the future. However, it can be hard to let go of the past. Moral of this post, is that growing up won't hurt but only make you stronger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7647079537057967844-8804011013255539074?l=greatsthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/8804011013255539074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/8804011013255539074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/8804011013255539074'/><author><name>NateTheGreat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13087643952815042685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DQUxQCUqFh0/SW7EWu8gB2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ol0NRSJfJDs/S220/-grand-teton-ajf2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647079537057967844.post-922904627044897674</id><published>2010-06-16T23:22:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-06-16T23:28:54.725-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Reality Stricken</title><content type='html'>Reality. Everyone experiences it. Nobody can escape encountering the cold wall of reality. It will hit any of us eventually. Well, this past night was when reality struck me and it struck me pretty hard. I realized that I can't go on living in this fantasy world where everything will be alright and that person won't find out what I said behind their back. When reality hits, you have to prepare for the worst. If you say something out of anger, then you better hope that the person you insulted or made fun of doesn't strike back. Don't let reality smack you in the face, prepare for it while you can.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7647079537057967844-922904627044897674?l=greatsthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/922904627044897674/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/06/reality-stricken.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/922904627044897674'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/922904627044897674'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/06/reality-stricken.html' title='Reality Stricken'/><author><name>NateTheGreat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13087643952815042685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DQUxQCUqFh0/SW7EWu8gB2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ol0NRSJfJDs/S220/-grand-teton-ajf2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647079537057967844.post-24973634742870878</id><published>2010-04-06T10:50:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-04-06T11:06:18.078-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I Owe You a Love Song</title><content type='html'>This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

This can be a hard task to change a person. I'm kind of wondering if it will work or not. I mean he was a pretty good guy in the summer but then he met a bunch of my other friends and turned down the wrong path. So I don't know what I should. I think it would be smart to improve mannerisms first. The first concept I'm getting at is it's hard to change a person back to who they were. I've been trying to myself and it's very hard to do. A person can't expect immediate results in the changes he/she made because it takes a while. A person needs examples of the figure they are trying to change to in order to actually change. For me it's easy. I just look back on my old self and try to figure out what I need to do to be like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This "changing" friend also has another friend that is a girl but their relationship fell apart in a matter of weeks. She then came to me to ask what is going on with him. She asked why he isn't talking to her anymore and questions like that. I asked her I could help her out. She replied saying sure you don't have to though. I insisted that I should. Then as the week went on, she asked me if I found any more information out about him ignoring her. I told her that he could be getting back to her and she got her hopes up. Well, then she went instinctly to him to ask him if thats true and he said no. She then stopped all asscociation with me. I just want to tell her sorry that I lied. So this time I ask of my audience to help me give advice.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7647079537057967844-5419694962234731008?l=greatsthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/5419694962234731008/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/04/changes.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/5419694962234731008'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/5419694962234731008'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/04/changes.html' title='Changes'/><author><name>NateTheGreat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13087643952815042685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DQUxQCUqFh0/SW7EWu8gB2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ol0NRSJfJDs/S220/-grand-teton-ajf2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647079537057967844.post-7389689971999160218</id><published>2010-03-31T20:11:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-31T20:11:29.076-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Listen to nastynate2500s playlist</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bHQ9MTI3MDA4NDIyOTUwMCZwdD*xMjcwMDg*Mjg4OTUzJnA9Njk*MzAxJmQ9Jm49YmxvZ2dlciZnPTEmbz1iY2VkYTU*ZWRiYTY*/MGVkODRiNzk2NjgwMzAyZWJjZiZvZj*w.gif" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;

This piece I bring to you today is one that comes straight for the heart. it isn't a poem but a thought to ponder on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the days go by, I watch many people pass me by everywhere, in the schools, at my work, and at any place of recreation that I go to. Everyone looks so happy and upbeat with everything that's been going on in the world despite all these natural disasters and tragedies happening. I ask myself, why should everyone be so cheery when there are people starving in Haiti because their sense of home was destroyed. I feel those people's pain that they have to go through everyday. To me it's just another day that goes by. Recently in my life, there have been so many high points and low points in the last couple of months. I just need to find some way to not think of my last couple months of high schools as just days going by. All that is keeping me positive is how I will be a college student in the fall and start a new chapter in my life.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7647079537057967844-2900327837919979633?l=greatsthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/2900327837919979633/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/03/days-go-by.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/2900327837919979633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/2900327837919979633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2010/03/days-go-by.html' title='Days Go By'/><author><name>NateTheGreat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13087643952815042685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DQUxQCUqFh0/SW7EWu8gB2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ol0NRSJfJDs/S220/-grand-teton-ajf2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647079537057967844.post-5574582320198050741</id><published>2009-11-13T19:55:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-13T20:09:06.539-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Rough times</title><content type='html'>Hey everyone, I'm back from a long break but I have some things to tell you all. First off, so I like this girl for a long time. And well, she kept telling me that we were just friends. Well, I wanted more than that, so I keep talking to her and building a firm base. But then she liked this one guy, who told me he wasn't interested in her. This made me really happy because I thought I had a chance. Then another guy came into the scene and ruined my chances by making her like him.

She truly was an inspiration to me because I had never been in a relationship before and she comforted when my grandpa passed away. She was always there for me when I needed it and that made me happy. Ladies and Gentlemen, relationships are all about trust, comfort and connection. Over those three weeks, it really was an honor to be her boyfriend even though at sometimes her friends were weird but I got used to it. I felt like someone other than my close friends and family cared for me, and for who I was. Let me tell you that was sure a great feeling, and I cherished every second I had with her. However, this relationship had to end because of some peer pressure that I followed, and I shouldn't had been a pushover. Near the end of the relationship it felt awkard to do things with her because our connection get weaker. The moral of this story is to find the one who can comfort, and support you when you need it. It also shows you need to have a strong connection with a person in order to have a great relationship. But let me tell you, it has certainly made me, and Erin better people. I feel that she had changed my life for the better, and that I have impacted her also. In conclusion, Relationships aren't about getting a pretty girlfriend, its about having a strong connection with that person and appericiating who that person is in the inside, and not what they look like on the outside. No offense to Erin if she decides to read it. Erin, when I first meet you I didn't know what to say. You were a loud person I'd have to admit, but once I got to know you there was a whole other side to you. That side was simply amazing, the side that was sensitive, and cherished our moments together. That sensitive side made me feel like I was on Cloud 9. Trust me, if I hadn't have been somewhat forced to ask you out, I would still be your boyfriend. But since I was somewhat forced it didn't make the relationship feel quite right. I always liked when you would leave those messages on my phone because it made me smile. Erin, I am truly sorry that I had to break up with you, and I know how you feel. So maybe in the future, you might see me again with another girlfriend or maybe you I can't say just yet. Time will tell what I do.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7647079537057967844-4321763836056132981?l=greatsthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/4321763836056132981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/02/erin-relationships.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/4321763836056132981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/4321763836056132981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/02/erin-relationships.html' title='Erin/ Relationships'/><author><name>NateTheGreat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13087643952815042685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DQUxQCUqFh0/SW7EWu8gB2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ol0NRSJfJDs/S220/-grand-teton-ajf2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647079537057967844.post-2072404775942241034</id><published>2009-01-14T17:25:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-14T17:38:30.495-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Adventure'/><title type='text'>Adventure</title><content type='html'>Life is all about surprises. If we didn't have surprises in life then the world would be boring. As my friend once said, grab life by the horns, you never know when life will throw surprises at you. I live to this motto because in order to have fun in life its all about taking risks and proving people wrong. If people tell you: "Oh I don't think your able to do this". I tell them its worth a shot and never back down to a challenge. I am starting to prove people wrong and to take challenges, thrills, or adventures. It comes down to this: we only have one time on earth so make the best of it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7647079537057967844-2072404775942241034?l=greatsthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/2072404775942241034/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/adventure.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/2072404775942241034'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/2072404775942241034'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/adventure.html' title='Adventure'/><author><name>NateTheGreat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13087643952815042685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DQUxQCUqFh0/SW7EWu8gB2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ol0NRSJfJDs/S220/-grand-teton-ajf2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647079537057967844.post-1017452728976365660</id><published>2009-01-11T11:00:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-11T11:10:45.492-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Friendship'/><title type='text'>Friendship/Emotions</title><content type='html'>Now emotions can be a part of us that we cannot control easily. If you are feeling down about something like a friendship gone bad. Here's some advice for you, just give up on apologizing to that person if all that person does is reject the apology. Why waste time?  Friends come and go so don't get sad over one lost friend. It's alright to dwell on it for a while but then let go of that event and look to present, and the future. Be thankful for friends that support you and not ones that leave you behind. There is just no need to have a friend who doesn't respect your life or you for better terms. So, remember don't look at past events that have occurred and look to the present and the future because then you know what to expect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love and Respect Always,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nate&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7647079537057967844-1017452728976365660?l=greatsthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/1017452728976365660/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/friendshipemotions.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/1017452728976365660'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/1017452728976365660'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/friendshipemotions.html' title='Friendship/Emotions'/><author><name>NateTheGreat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13087643952815042685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DQUxQCUqFh0/SW7EWu8gB2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ol0NRSJfJDs/S220/-grand-teton-ajf2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647079537057967844.post-2525529768369136218</id><published>2009-01-11T10:54:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-11T10:58:33.443-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Crush</title><content type='html'>Hi Guys, I'm back with another post this time it's song lyrics to a song called Crush.

Some things I would like to clarify about him, and why people shouldn't judge him because of his race. To tell the truth, I have always been a republican from since I started follow politics, but then when our economy went down the toliet I thought to myself, "If we want to get out of this economic slump then we need a change in parties in the White House." That's when I turned to Obama because he can bring change to the United States and I am hoping he will do that. Just because he is african american doesn't give people the right to judge him before he gets into office.

This one to discuss today is Courage. Now courage can be in many forms. An example would be me when I see roller coasters, I'm terrified of them but I have to the courage to go on them to see what it's like. An example is more in depth, and that is having the courage to say what you want to say. This is what I am doing right at this very moment, sharing my inner thoughts to people and that shows courage. Not many people can tell their true feelings to people they hardly know. Courage is not letting bad thoughts people have about you get to your head. People may think I am some crazy, angry person but thats their loss they can't see the good in others. So I'm sorry if I'm bashing people but the truth hurts. Courage is being able to stick up for what you believe in, and accepting others opinions.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7647079537057967844-7816955352340958750?l=greatsthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/7816955352340958750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/courage.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/7816955352340958750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/7816955352340958750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/courage.html' title='Courage'/><author><name>NateTheGreat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13087643952815042685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DQUxQCUqFh0/SW7EWu8gB2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ol0NRSJfJDs/S220/-grand-teton-ajf2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647079537057967844.post-6816306359412139513</id><published>2009-01-08T21:54:00.007-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-09T22:41:49.030-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Goals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Strong'/><title type='text'>the Strong and Goals</title><content type='html'>The Strong cannot be anyone. The Strong are people who don't pick on or make fun of anyone. The Strong survive when times are tough. The Strong are willing to take risks. The Strong don't back down from challenges. Many people are physically strong but not mentally strong. Mentally weak people go to others to make fun of them to get entertained. The mentally strong however, put themselves to goals and achieve them. This can tie into sports or in everyday life. Say that I just picked out my profession later in life and it's a doctor. As you all know becoming a doctor requires many years of college. You set goals like getting A's in all your classes or aceing a test. Then you strive for those goals and stay mentally strong through your journey to getting that good grade. That means to stay focused. I many went off focus many times when achieving goals and it's hard to get back on track. That's all my advice for today. I know I'm a understanding person, so if you have any problems you can come to me because my advice might help you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7647079537057967844-6816306359412139513?l=greatsthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/6816306359412139513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/strong-and-goals.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/6816306359412139513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/6816306359412139513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/strong-and-goals.html' title='the Strong and Goals'/><author><name>NateTheGreat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13087643952815042685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DQUxQCUqFh0/SW7EWu8gB2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ol0NRSJfJDs/S220/-grand-teton-ajf2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647079537057967844.post-4870615409932364062</id><published>2009-01-08T21:54:00.006-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-09T22:41:26.829-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Character'/><title type='text'>Character</title><content type='html'>I know everyone all adores this passages so I guess I will write one about character. Character is one of many things that can show your personality. Character is what can really stand out in a person if you get to know them well enough. Well, I show my character through being nice, understanding person. Over people can show character through many sports. What people don't know is that character is a hard thing to build up. Nobody can change your character no matter how hard they pressure you into doing things you don't want to do, or sports you don't want to play. You will always stay true to your character that you have been given. Never try to get rid of your characteristics, I tried and it worked for a short time being a mean person, and my personality isn't like that. I don't like being pressured into changing personalities or moods or characters. I just want everyone to show their true characteristics towards each other and to not show fake characteristics. I know how nice everyone can be, I've seen it happen this past weekend.

First and foremost I would like to tell everybody who The One is. This is a person who you find attractive in every aspect like physically (everyone has had a physical attraction towards another person) and personality. The One needs to be the person who you can sit by every night and discuss your problems to them. The One is a person who likes you for who you are, and what your outside apperance looks like. The One is a person whom you can trust with your most deepest secrets, and a person who respects you for who you are and not what other people want to see you as. The One is someone who looks deep within in your eyes and tells you that they love every night or day. The One is someone who can look into your eyes and tells you the flaws you have. The One is someone who can stick with you through thick and thin, no matter how heated arguements get in between you. The One is someone who you will love forever and always. I know this is deep but this is my take on The One. Many peoples takes on The One vary and I thought sharing this would strike up conservations, debates and to see anyone likes these. This is spoken straight from the heart. The main reason why I wrote this is because I feel loved by I think could be the One at least for a while and I am in a romantic mood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nate the Great&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sidenote not pertaining to the passage above: If anyone is in tough times and needs advice, and I am always open to give my best advice and sincerest wishes in fixing your problems.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7647079537057967844-2116320370316735593?l=greatsthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/2116320370316735593/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/now-many-people-may-ask-themselves-am-i.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/2116320370316735593'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/2116320370316735593'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/now-many-people-may-ask-themselves-am-i.html' title='The One'/><author><name>NateTheGreat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13087643952815042685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DQUxQCUqFh0/SW7EWu8gB2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ol0NRSJfJDs/S220/-grand-teton-ajf2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647079537057967844.post-8617047553463372476</id><published>2009-01-08T21:53:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-09T22:42:23.339-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='respect'/><title type='text'>Respect</title><content type='html'>Why do people always look down me like a stepping stone? Why do people push me around like i'm a fool? That is my questions i always ask to myself. All I have to say is two things. One people need to learn to respect me and respect for who I am. So what if I am not athletic or strong, should that really matter? second, if you have a problem with who I am don't be afraid to tell me, I don't care what people think about me. Only thing I ask of everyone to treat me with respect and I respect you back. You talk shit to me, I talk shit to you. You shove me around, I shove you around. If you want to secrets I tell to other people it shows that you have no respect for me or my actions. If you distrub who I want to ask out if I have the "one" chosen for me, that shows disrespect.

If there is no trust there is no future. Trust is a very valuable thing, like if someone told you a secret, then you need to gain enough trust so that you know they won't tell a person. One thing people nowadays don't have trust. For example, say if Ii was to like someone and they beg for who it is, I tell them I need to gain their trust before I can tell them who that person may be. If I cannot trust you, how do you expect to know who it is, if that person can't trust you. If anyone tells me a secret then I keep it quiet because it would be just wrong to reveal their secret to the whole school.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7647079537057967844-6795527598330887890?l=greatsthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/6795527598330887890/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/trust.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/6795527598330887890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7647079537057967844/posts/default/6795527598330887890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://greatsthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/01/trust.html' title='Trust'/><author><name>NateTheGreat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13087643952815042685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DQUxQCUqFh0/SW7EWu8gB2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/Ol0NRSJfJDs/S220/-grand-teton-ajf2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647079537057967844.post-2107385958814980560</id><published>2009-01-08T21:50:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-08T21:52:56.360-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Relationships</title><content type='html'>What is love? Many people say that its the bond between a man and a woman. Many say true love conquers all. I'm a romantic person, I enjoy taking time to get to know a girl and their personality. Many typical high schoolers tend to look only skin deep. I mean sure some people look into personality in some people in high school but that is scarce. All the rest of the people just think about getting a girlfriend so they can get laid and such, but i'm not trying to say that people like that are bad. I have many friends who think that. I am also saying that physical attraction isn't good. I tend to look beyond that and think is this girl's personality really what i should look for or should i try finding out another girls personality. I am not a person that judges skin deep, I think that liking someone who is pretty or good looking is an incentive because if their personality is great and that builds onto to their good looks. I will prove that personality can go a long way in a relationship. I am for the one with a great personality.**This note was not written to offend anyone. It was written straight from my heart.
