A Visitor From Heaven
A visitor from heaven
If only for awhile
A gift of love to be returned
We think of you and smile
A visitor from heaven
Accompanied by grace
Reminding of a better love
And of a better place
With aching hearts and empty arms
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came
A visitor from heaven
If only for a day
We thank Him for the time He gave
And now it's time to say
We trust you to the Fathers love
And to His tender care
Held in the everlasting arms
And we're so glad you're there
We're so glad you're there
With breaking hearts and open hands
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came
significant other?
I don't have one. Never have time. Work and life keeps getting the way. I'm hoping that Paris's friendship will change that. nothing else has.
How do you think being Paris' BFF would change your personality?
it's bound to have postive effect on it. My crazy sense of humor will bound to drive the Paparazzi nuts. hmmm. I hope it will.
friends with Paris
My friends will love that I am friends with Paris after they pick themselves off the floor. The whole town of about 8000 will talk about me for years. hmmmm. Not much will change then. this town is still talking me when I was kid.
Highschool experience
that's a interesting question. the 2 years were filled with trouble. I received about 5 licks of the paddle per day every day for too many talk about. The last 2 years were completely and totally different. Teachers, Admin staff, and students all came to ask for help.

The sex trafficking epidemic has inspired federal legislation to protect young women who are trafficked from other countries. But what about the thousands of young American girls who are coerced into the commercial sex industry each year? In the eyes of the law, these sexually exploited children are criminal sex workers. Lisa Ling investigates this issue, speaking with current and former child prostitutes, riding along with law enforcement officers, and exploring innovative programs that offer young prostitutes a chance at a better life.

what do you think them. do you hate them? think their silly? interesting? I just need some thoughts.
Paris best friend?
sure. why not. I just wish she oonsider a few quotes from Marilyn Monroe
http://www.marilynmonroe.com/about/quote_by.html
I just a woman whose not afraid being a woman.
I suppose she will demand the same thing back to me. I couldn't possiby agree more. In fact, I'm counting on it. AND maybe she can push me futher as a man than i ever gone be for.
Why I love women
Women never cease to amaze us. They are the first we think about (rather we have
one or not) when we (men) goto bed and the first we think about when we wake up.
Ya'll are always on our mind. Please consider (if she doesn't mind) a email I
recently sent to a beautiful girl ( see what I mean )
From what I know about her (Marilyn Monroe), she was a woman to end of all woman.
Clark Gable says about her, "Marilyn is a kind of ultimate. She is uniquely
feminine. Everything she does is different, strange, and exciting, from the way she
talks to the way she uses that magnificent torso. She makes a man proud to be a
man."
http://www.marilynmonroe.com/about/quote.html
We men will ALWAYS loved a woman who knows she is a woman and loves it. Girl is
not a girl for nothing; she is a girl to teach a boy how to be a boy. Some boys
learned this lesson and so become incredible and change the world for the better,
rest of the boys just stay boys and NEVER grow up.
Think about it: why else would be biggest guy in school get weak at the knees for TRYING to talk a girl.
I love women. I've always have
please consider some quote from Marliyn Monroe.
This girl had something I hadn't seen since silent pictures. She had a kind of fantastic beauty like Gloria Swanson and she radiated sex like Jean Harlow. She didn't need a soundtrack to tell her story."
-- Leon Shamroy, the cinematographer who shot Marilyn's first screen test
"Marilyn was one step from oblivion when I directed her in The Asphalt Jungle. I remember she impressed me more off the screen than on.there was something touching and appealing about her."
-- John Huston, director of The Misfits and The Asphalt Jungle
"She seemed very shy, and I remember that when the studio workers would whistle at her, it seemed to embarrass her."
-- Cary Grant, co-star in Monkey Business
"I did Niagara with her. I found her marvelous to work with and terrifically ambitious to do better. And bright. She may not have had an education, but she was just naturally bright."
-- Henry Hathaway, director of the 1952 film
"Marilyn is a kind of ultimate. She is uniquely feminine. Everything she does is different, strange, and exciting, from the way she talks to the way she uses that magnificent torso. She makes a man proud to be a man."
-- Clark Gable
"She had such a magnetism that if 15 men were in a room with her, each man would be convinced he was the one she'd be waiting for after the others left."
-- Publicist Roy Craft
"She was pure of heart. She was free of guile. She never understood either the adoration or the antagonism which she awakened."
-- Edward Wagenknecht
"I love Marilyn Monroe. I think she was the coolest blonde. I think like me she just didn't care what anyone thinks. She's happy. She's smiling. I don't know, I just always thought she was so beautiful and she just seemed, like, magical."
-- Paris Hilton
body acceptance
This is an article I found on the internet:
WE ARE NOT BORN WITH JUDGEMENTS ABOUT OUR BODIES. Instead, from the time we are in diapers, we undergo a process of social conditioning that influences the way we think about ourselves and the world.
Over the course of a lifetime, messages we receive from outside sources either enhance or hamper our capacity to love ourselves, to love others, and to allow others to love us. Information we take in from the culture we live in flavors our perceptions. Encounters with friends and role models influence our values and beliefs.
If you've recently listened to women talk to each other about their bodies, you probably have some sense of the abusive self-scolding prevalent in our global society today. Women with perfectly normal, attractive figures eagerly relate to one another on the basis of what they hate about themselves. Complaining about breast size, facial features and other physical attributes has become not only socially acceptable; in some circles it's an almost obligatory form of female bonding.
One fairly typical example of this is a woman who has exhibited this kind behavior for most of her life. An attractive single mom with an internationally successful caree, she has been putting herself down for nearly thirty years because of an extra ten to fifteen pounds she's been unable to lose.
Recently she lost the unnecessary weight and has been successful in keeping it off for close to eighteen months. Although she admits that she feels better and has more energy now than ever before, she still looks with disgust at her image in the mirror. Failing to forgive her body for being a body at all, she complains about the angle of her nose, the bulge of her tummy, the curve of her hips and an endless list of other physical traits.
HOW'D WE GET THIS WEIGH?
Since ancient times, people have operated as if the body is a direct reflection of the personal worthiness. The specific focus on body parts, size and shape has varied over the years; but a certain "body as object" mentality has endured cross-culturally throughout the ages. The notion that people--especially women--do something to alter, conceal, or reshape their bodies in order to make themselves more appealing is neither new nor unusual.
Beginning in the second millennium BC, men and women have corseted and girdled themselves to conform to socially prescribed proportions. Women in particular have developed an infatuation with coloring their faces and with binding themselves in an assortment of different contraptions to raise, flatten, or accentuate various body parts according to popular vogue.
With the onset of women's rights issues in the twenties, and again with the women's liberation movement of the sixties, the idealized female figure has tended toward a thinner, boyish standard. Millions of women around the world have eagerly rejected the traditional look of "woman as mother" and have chosen to compete new ways on a more masculine level.
Recent studies indicate that people associate competence and intelligence with leaner, firmer builds rather than with ample feminine figures. As men and women push themselves to be thinner, shapelier, and more muscular than ever before, the model physiques for both genders continue to move towards increasingly unnatural extremes.
Almost every conceivable body type has been popular at some time or place in history, but the current preoccupation with youth and fitness imposes unrealistic demands on us all. Advertising's hyper-promotion of the lean, muscle-bound, plump-bosomed figure (biologically normal for less than ten-percent of the population) predisposes the other ninety-plus percent to feelings of self-dissatisfaction.

Do you consider yourself fabulous? How so?
well people talk about me. I say yes
It's hard to stay in the public eye. How would you maintain the limelight?
I'm a crazy character by nature. The whole town knows me by name but I don't hardly know them. I loved being around people and this lately have been driving me nuts: living at home with no one to talk to. I have tried everything including thinking about going to a clothing optional resort (and letting the town know about), but I won't go without a girlfriend.
What similarities do you share with Paris? How are you different?
Back when I was young, I stayed trouble but nothing serious. I had a attention deficit disorder and mild case of Claustrophobia. Small room makes me very nervous. As a correcional officer, this has been a problem. I have beg for yard duty doing the day shift. Paris, we have this in common but I'm able to controled it. I, too, hate prisons. I've trying to find a way of open a halfway for women. Men are just too hardheaded and won't listen. I'm hoping for better from the women. Please consider me.
what if I became famous
I do everything i could to changed the world for the better. America needs to change it attitude about the way it treats people. We are not things to sell or be buy. Women are taught they must look like models or playmates. We need to learn to teach body acceptance and quit demeaning ourselves. Paris, you are beautiful but not every girl will look like you or be as famous. I hope I have not offended anyone. more latter on this.
a letter to paris
I once wrote a letter to Paris while she was in jail. I was trying to send her words of encourage.
an old website - cute side of me
If I could live my life over again, I wouldn't have been so serious minded. This sounds cute but I would of ask every girl in high school out for a movie, especially the one's I known since kindergarten. The cheerleaders back in high school said I was extremely nice and kind. I love long walks, a movie a home, and good conversation
Halfway house
Back in Paris was jail, she said something about starting a halfway for women. I would like to start a project. I work as Correction officer (Guard) for the State of Georgia. I'm tired of now being able to do anything but watch those inmates sit and waist their lives away.
