loser
have you ever been called a loser? I have, many times. Got a tele call about 40 min ago, an ole cronie had to remind me that Mizzou lost to OKy state last night, he further informed me how bad the Chiefs were and the banter continued. No big deal really, but it got this peapicking brain to thinking ( peapickers are considered dumb, according to my stbx} Been to counselors in the past, read books, been given advice by lots of folks, supposedly more wise than I. The one thing all have conveyed is this, "surround yourself with good, people, friends , things and accordingly good things will happen for you" Check: I have good friends, though not a lot. Great friends through this website. I know lots of wonderous people, wanderful too. I even have a few nice things in my life. Some good things are happening for me, though I still feel I deserve much more. My quandry{sp} is this, iF YOU NEED TO SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GOOD FOLKS IN ORDER TO SUCCEED, ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO JUMP SHIP WHEN THAT FRIEND GOES THROUGH A LOSING SPELL, i RATHER THINK NOT. The friend who called this morn, has had more fav teams than Ive had underwear, He is a very successful business man, yet I would never call on him , if I was in need, He dont associate with losers, lol and I am loyal to my beliefs. in closing its simple, if your reading this, you are my friend in fair weather or foul. Makes no difference how you see me, just as long as I see myself a winner, and with all of your support this ole redneck will be a winner again in the real things in life. Friday night, my hometown football team destroyed their opposition, Saturday night Mizzou lost, The Chiefs cant lose this week they have a bye. So Billy you lucky Dawg, bring on your banter, your loser jokes and quotes, your still my friend, but lets just wait to crown a champion, till the very bitter end.

while I agree that you should surround yourself with good people to help insure personal success...a friend is not truely a friend when they are jumping ship at a true time of need. While there have been people i have distanced myself from, others I have not. On the other hand, there are \"friends\" that have distanced themselves from me because they knew I would not support them on some of their decisions.
You are a good man Randy..and I agree...talk crap all you want, but we will see who is crowned victorious in the end!
That\'s my TA! I have always felt that as long as you draw breath and venture out of bed, there is a chance to improve your life or the lives of others. You cant count a person out until they leave this earth.
I think when my Cherry Pop told me to surround myself with good people he didnt mean wealthy (money is fleeting, nothing to build a solid life on even tho it can help a little, financial success does not equal a successful life). What Cherry Pop was saying was to surround yourself with GOOD people, people who would love and respect you, people who had the love and respect of their family and friends, people who would see you for who you really are as well as the tremendous potential you hold inside, people who had strong values and knew the difference between right and wrong, people who would tell you when your wrong and help you right your mistakes, people who would cry with you, laugh with you and back you up in a street fight, and people would be the first to poke fun at you when you deserve it but never be cruel about it.
GOOD people are hard find, but like you I have found a few here on DS, you are definitely one of the GOOD guys. Thank you for your friendship. XO!XO!XO!
Of course the rednecks stick together :>D ^5\'s to ya bro! In life we all have our charts and flow sheets - i am proud to say I have you as a DS friend.
...I\'m with you....friend til the end!!!
