1205 tequila and salt?

I received an e-mail from a friend and I’ll share it with you. I added some comments at the end, so read all the way through.

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10 When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

11 Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

So......... If you are a loving friend, send this to everyone, including the one that sent it to you. If you get it back, then they really do love you.

And always remember.... when life hands you Lemons, ask for Tequila and Salt and call me over!
Good friends are like stars.......
You don't always see them, But you know they are always there.

"Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though Sometimes It's Hell in the Hallway"

I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here than a whole truck load when I'm gone.

Forward to all your friends. And don't tell me you're too busy for this. Don't you know the phrase "stop and smell the flowers"?

See how many "bouquets" you end up with!

Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Failures keeps You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You Going

First of all, when life hands me lemons, I make lemonade. Tequila and salt are better with limes. Trust me on this.

While doing my time at Cal Poly (see the 11/18 blog), my friends and I had a party. We sent a buddy to the store to get a bunch of limes for our tequila shots. He returned with a bag of lemons and said that the store was out of limes. Hmmm. Who would've thought that there would a shortage of limes at the college town market on the Saturday before Spring Break?

So, being the thrifty (read: broke) students that we were, we just went with the lemons. Bad move. We ended up just drinking the tequila in order to try and get rid of the pucker in our mouths. When we got to the bottom of the bottle, we actually fought over the agave worm to see if that would work. It didn't.

I remember comparing the aftertaste of the lemons to the aftertaste of the worm. To this day, I really don't know which was worst. I can be assured that I'd rather have one of those two, than natto. But that's another story.

With regards to the e-mail, while I appreciate the overall sentiment, #8 tells us that everyone has a stalker in their lives. And I actually feel sorry for #3, that someone would hate me because they would like to be an overweight, undertall, flatulent, prematurely gray Asian male in a wheelchair, who lives with his parents and hasn't had a serious relationship since Bill Clinton's first term. So there!
