No, I do not expect perfection, not by far. 

Notice there are many faults listed, because no one is perfect.  The qualities I have listed are not things I execute all the time, but these are the qualities I strive to execute all the time.  This is what I reach to be, and what I try to extend to those around me, of course at a higher level of conviction to those whom I cherish and call my friends.  I am not always successful, often I fail, then I will try again.

My Grandfather used to tell me, 'If you have enough true friends to be your paul bearers in the event of death, consider yourself rich and blessed.'  That is somthing I remind myself of often.  If I were to die today, other than my family, would there be enough people to carry me?

Well, in that case,  it's a good thing I am donated to science or will be cremated!

*sigh* can't read the try-angle? well it doesn't line up as nicely... but here ya go.
