Maybe a fellow who goes by the name "Wolf"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Time will tell, but you have to follow your dream! Can you think of anything worse on your death-bed than 'I wish I'd...'

I wish i wasn't about to die.....

I prefer the saying on an AIG advertisement:

"There are those who do,
And those who wouldacouldashoulda".

My deathbed thought will be (aged around 95 ish)... 'I wish I'd recce'd this house better so that when the young lady's husband arrived home early from work I'd have a better escape route than jumping out of the windowwwwwwwww..... splat!! (Hope the wife doesn't see this one!)

You DO live dangerously Paul ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Just a bit, now and again, to remember I'm alive! Which I won't be if Cal sees my post! Oh well who wants to live forever? (95 ish could be good though!)

Well, I plan to shoot for 100, but if not, 99 will do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

hey,Andy,how's it?I'm set up over at Photobucket,now just need to figure out how to upload the pics and get 'em to ya...(I'm a little slow with this stuff.)

oh,and thanks for the moral support y'all!The two passions that have been a constant in my life are working with wood (mostly exotics),and knives.My dream is to get myself established,with a shop/retail space,and open up a positive avenue for young people finding themselves in trouble (first-time offenders and youth at risk).I got myself in a heap o'sh!t when I was very young,but if I'd met someone who had a venue and the desire to show me how to nurture my creative gifts,rather than my desructive side,I would'nt have spent so many years on a dark,painful,violent path.The flip side is maybe I would'nt have learned some of the things I have about myself and the human animal around me,and would'nt be so much the person I am now,but sometimes I feel I'd risk it if I could go back and do it over...I wasted many years,and incredible enery in trying to self-destruct,and caused terrible pain to a lot of people,all due to a crippled sense of self worth.I see too many kids out there heading toward that same path,and want to give them an option...

Good lad wolf! Hold a candle against the darkness. (That is a genuine thought, not meant to patronise). Anything that gives a young crim' something to do other than crime should be applauded. Good luck!

Paul,there's no mistaking your words for anything other than the real deal,so thanks!
