This Defines Me

“I'm a no bull crap man”! I don't tolerate anyone who talks, out of the side of their mouth! I have absolutely no time of day for those sweet talking souls who come on like your friend and then desert you when the chips are down! I'm attracted to true, honest, simple people, who's only goal in life is to be happy and wish to make those around them happy too! Is there anything greater than this, to spread joy and happiness to everyone you meet, whatever status they've achieved? A full life is one filled with joy and the friendships we value beyond all else. As I started this with “I'm a no bull crap man”! This defines who I am and I'm proud to say it WITH NO RESERVATIONS! © Jack Ellison 2015

Never fear!..Dragon's here!..And he wants to save the day.. he never left!.. Just took a detour- the schlep!.. Now he'll flame anyone talking from the side of their mouth! But NOT vantriliquists, He says. Aww! Dragon wants to be your hero. Don't worry! He doesn't recognize North! The direction confuses him and he also can't play 3 dimensional chess. But he knows that String theory says there are 11 separate dimensions. He's so proud of himself that he wants to be called Sir Steve Hawking Dragon!

I agree spreading happy is a worthy pursuit and you my friend have mastered it. Myself also being a "no bull crap man" recognize my own need to express the other aspects of my humanity and sometimes that means dealing with the sadder bits as well. I have no fear of my other emotions, each has a time and place and has its own intrinsic value. I do appreciate that you are a "Happy Specialist!"
