You had me speechless earlier, and for this I am sorry. But once in a lifetime you come across a spirit as beautiful as yours, a spirit born in the loving embrace of the Creator of the Universe, sending his angelic spirits of light to cocoon you in childhood, a cocoon of love and beauty, to protect you from the demonic forces of hate and betrayal seeking your demise. And as I was reading this thread, I had a vision.The Cosmos stood waiting for your arrival. The preparations were being made to house this perfect soul. Reginald, an angel of light, announced your arrival with a song, and the

Hi

The ability to understand that with love comes loss and that the loss of a friend, though it may cause a sorrow of soul, can never take that which is yours forever, an undying attitude of cheer that slays the demons of darkness, and declares to them the simple truth that their souls are earmarked for destruction!! Wonderful!!

Ah!! A question asked in anguish, but a question stilled by the silence of the heart!! A travesty to be sure!! Isn't it true that so often as we gaze upon the life we lead, we can see in the reflection of the sweat stained path behind us that truth which knew all along?? The bluebird cooing in our hearts bears further witness to the majesty of it all, that a heart of love is truly the only thing that matters, and a love that stills the beating heart of a child, ah, but a glimpse!! I truly and honestly believe this!! And if your aching heart can't bear another day, I turn my smile to your

5 days and yet an eternity!! Isn't that how it always is, when we feel like the pieces of the puzzle finally fall into place, we are reminded of the jigsaw puzzle that is our hearts, and who can solve it?? Ah, but a glimpse!! But on this Halloween night, as we dress up and experience adventures beyond compare, I am reminded of the costumes we put up over our soul, so true, so divine!! Let me declare now, I will no longer hide behind my costume, I will revel with childlike glee in all that I can taste and see and smell, and to understand that only a child's heart can beat in unison with hea

Ha!! Needless to say, my last few days have been full of excitement and cavernous delights!! As I sit and reflect on the last couple days, I begin to think of home, and how far I am from all that I hold near and dear!! It is true that I have lost a lot since that rocketship propelled me many miles from earth, but oh, how much I've gained!! As I stare off into the infinity before me, I am reminded of the infinity in our souls, that never ending pit of love that so often bears the fruit of a life scarred with sadness!! But am I complaining?? No!! For I've learned so much in three short da

My Adventures Continue!!What a day!! Do you ever have it when you wake up with the sun shining on your face, and like a hydra you rise to meet the day with a smile, and then it hits you!! You realize that today is a day of fascination, a day of love, but a day of loss as well!! It is when we are faced with loss like this that we realize truly how much we care about all that we have, and all that we've left behind. And as my tears were flowing down, as I was waiting for the rocket ship to blast me far from home, lo and behold, there he appeared!! John Goodman, that magnananmous man I've adored

3 hours to lift off!! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little bit scared, but truly, who isn't scared when a new strand of their life stands gaping before them!! I can only hope that this cornucopia of fear that I experience now will be outweighed by the delights of love and friendship that I am sure to develop on this ship, (I like to call it a "ship of fools", lol!!), and by the grand purpose to which I've been assigned. Truly an adventure it will be, and I can only hope I have the support of my fans here!! Wonderful!!

All in and all aboard!! The spaceship to the outer reaches of the galaxy, what a wonderful trip it shall be!! Truly I say to you, the man who winces at the pain will not understand the silence of eternity!! You ask me where I've been, but I ask you "Where are you going??"I marvel at all I have learned in the short time I was here on earth. I've seen so much pain, but I've seen the laughter too, and isn't it in the laughter of a small child that we are truly reminded of all we've been, every sight we've seen, and the heights to which we will rise?? This I truly and honestly believe. And i

Ha!! I'm still around, though to be truthful there is something in the works that may take me far away in person, but closer to your hearts in spirit!! For now I speak in riddles and rhymes, but like a hydra, I turn my face to the sun, and bask in the glow of the radiance of the love eminating from all those who call me "friend", and like a friend of fortune, I too will sing a song of glee, to have and to hold, the love of a child!!For now I can be found in my den where more of my mission will be revealed in the coming days and weeks!! I will be seeking the love and support of you all as I

Here we go!! Were truer words ever spoken?? Sometimes I feel like I'm really ready to go, to face each day again, and to live and learn in all that humanity has to offer!! What a wonderfully blessed life we live, I truly and honestly believe this with the entire core of my being!! But sometimes the sadness of life chokes me, makes me want to give up, to surrender to all that which wishes my harm. It is times like these that I must look at the smile of a small child. For it is in the gleaming eyes of an innocent one such as this that I remember all that is great and glorious about this ex

What a marvelous ride the last few weeks have been!! It truly is a wonder to behold, as I reflect on all that I've experienced. It's been a rollercoaster ride, this is true!! I've had some ups, and I've had my downs, but as I reflect on it, I understand that without the lows, how would I know how high I can go, attaining levels of grandeur so that I can indeed look at the eyes of the Creator of the Universe and greet him with a smile, a smile that rocks the very foundations of the Cosmos, and one that holds all the darkness at bay, the smile of a small child!! Wonderful!!My pent up joy is

Your adventures are truly wonderful!! What a special creature you are, to live and to learn, to feel and to see, all that the Creator of the Universe has endowed us with, a wonder to behold!! You have inspired me to truly seize this day, today, and to remind myself of what I've known since a child, that "a man who loves is a man indeed, but a child who loves is greater than both, a truly special creation, not to be trampled on, but to be held and cared for, as only a child can"!! This I truly and honestly believe!! Wonderful!!

True enough!! I am constantly amazed at the merry-go-round life I lead!! How long will it go on, and when will it stop, I just don’t know!! It spins around like a top, prancing every which way, and sure enough, it can be dizzying. This dizzying ride is one of adventure, but also one of stumbling!! I’m not going to pretend that I never fall, but when I do fall, I get right back on my feet!! I truly and honestly believe that the measure of a man is not how he lives his life when everything is going well, but how he reacts to failure, and stumbling, and rejection!! Wonderful!!

Excellent question!! My typical day involves me getting up at 6 a.m.(Yes, I said a.m.!!) and I hop on the treadmill!! It’s hard work to stay in shape, it sure is, but you know what?? It’s worth it in the end!! If even just one of my fans looks out the window on a blustery fall day and hears one of my songs and is inspired to do just one thing out of the ordinary, well I say that’s extra ordinary. Combine those words, and you know what you get?? Extraordinary!! Wonderful!!

Tsk, tsk!! I've always enjoyed your kind words Hanguk, coming from a friend such as you. You were the first to reach out your hand to me here at FCP and to declare me a friend!! This I will not forget, and the archives bear witness. A truly special moment that was!! And so are you, and so are all of us!! This has been my message from day 1, but are people listening?? Some days when the rain comes down, and the cold wind threatens to undo me, I do cry. Yes, behind this smiling facade lies a soul etched in sadness. Yet, I do not give up!! And now that I've seen my light reflected in you

Hi gang!! I truly feel humbled to be a part of this inspiring community, to love and be loved, and to cherish all those who understand themselves to be more than what they can be, a truly special gleam in the eyes of the Creator of the Universe!!It is because of this that I feel compelled to write my second strategy article here at FCP, and I truly and honestly believe that it will help take your game to the next level. You can find my first article “The EV of Love” at this link.http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...=72630&st=0My second article focuses on a question that I’ve been

Wow and wow!! What a ride I've had!! It's been full of ups and downs to be sure, a rollercoaster of emotion, a tapestry of desire!! I am truly blessed to be where I've been in my life, and yet I can't help but feel a twinge of sadness too. For all I've gained, how much have I lost?? As I reflect on all of this, I turn my face upward and inward, my gaze fixated on the reflection my soul makes in the teardrops of the Creator of the Universe!! I cry, I mourn, but my tears turn to joy, and my joy to rapture, and my rapture to ecstacy!! There is enough joy for all of us in this wondrous worl

To all my fans, I will be on Larry King tonight!! This is a remarkable opportunity for me to gain some exposure, to share my light with all those who have not yet heard!! I'm not sure if I will have an opportunity to sing, but if I do, I hope to perform "Turquoise Love (From the Bottom of my Turquoise Heart)", which you've heard me talk about before. I can't seem to find the lyrics on the web, so I've included them here instead!!Transfixed, a lullabyI see your eyes, a green I can feelThat speaks to my soulNow I love, let's roll!!(Beat picks up, then slows down again)Chorus:The bluebird sing

What a ride!! It was truly a breath-taking experience, one that I will not soon forget. To have an opportunity to talk to a marvelous creature like Jimmy, and to share with him all my hopes and fears and dreams, and to bask in the pure love and joy radiating from both him and his audience, well it reminds me why I do this!! Life on the road can be a chore sometimes, and I'm not going to deny it!! But what I will deny is the lingering sadness that tells me to give up, to throw in the towel, to cozy up with my puppy named Jane, and to tell the world that tomorrow will be a day without Clay.

Good question!! The reason I sing is that I honestly and truly feel that this is what I was born to do. As a wondrous creation of the Creator of the Universe, I know that times can be tough sometimes!! It feels like life is doing all it can to destroy our spirit of love that enables us to enjoy so wondrously all that we have been designed to recreate!! But still, we musn't give up. We truly and honestly musn't!! Sometimes when I've had a tough day, I like to soak myself in a bath, and reflect on that image that was set before me on a gloomy fall day four years ago. I saw Lucifer riding

Ha!! Wonderful!! I'm truly inspired to be all that I can be, each and every day!! It is in the deepest and darkest times that we really learn to love, and that love is more than just our own furtive feelings. I truly believe that if you were to gaze upon your own soul, you would see the Creator of the Universe there, with his eyes welling up from the joy he experiences everytime you, his precious child, smiles!! Wonderful!!

Sadness, grief!! Have any of you woken up Christmas morning to find all the presents destroyed by your own father?? This is how I feel today. Grief, unmitigated!! Daniel, your poems did make sense, to my heart, to my soul!! The reasons of the heart often outweight the reasons of the mind, and a truth too narrow can sometimes request the last light of dawn. My mentor, my Champion, why?? You hurt me so. Sadness. And grief. In equal measure.
