I never really appreciated my parents until I went away to college. Growing up I was always butting heads with them, but that all changed once I went out on my own. My freshman gf gave me a clear contrast to which I was able to re-evaluate my situation: her parents fought all the time, were always scrounging for money and letting that stress affect the way they treated each other, and she was the only one to go to higher education.</p>
It really is amazing the things my parents were able to achieve; the loving family unit that supports each other no matter what, and fostered academic excellence in each of their kids. I was 18 at the time, barely a grown man, but I broke down that night and never got into a fight with my parents again.</p>
To me, it wasn't so much a matter of 'you don't know what you've got til its gone' but rather I didn't know what I had, until I saw someone who didn't.</p>

To be honest, I've always, always respected and appreciated my parents. I do lie to them once in a while (about girlfriends obviously), but I tell them the truth 95% of the time, because I hate lying to them, it just makes me feel bad. I have a great relationship with both of them, and they have a greater relationship with one another, and I'm proud to be thier son, to be honest. If there are two people in the world that I'll forever be grateful to, it's my parents. The country from which I came is a country high on poverty and internal crisis (Nepal) and to come from an environment such as that and be living a sufficient and exceptional life in a free, and ridiculously multi cultured country like Canada is more than I could ever ask for. Not to be corny, but if there's someone I want to be like, it would be my Dad. He is honestly my icon, I wish I could achieve half the things he has in his life and be half the person he is.</p>
That was my emotional display for the day lol.</p>
As for chicks, I have this thing for girls with straight hair, nice eyes and nice smiles. Basically, I like girls who look "simple and pretty". Body would be nice, but I really don't care as much about it as I do with the face, because to be honest, that's what attracts me to them initially. Personality and compactability factors in more for me than attraction though, cause in the end, it's not her face that's gonna piss me off or make me fight with her, it's her personality, so it's easier to work with someone who has a personality that's more compatible to mine.</p>
To add, I'm the type of guy that'd probably go after a simple girl that fits my criteria than a HOT HOT girl who presumbly is likely to have a shitty personality, display cockyness, tendency/probability to cheat, etc. Of course, that's not the case with every hot girl, but being a "HOT HOT" girl, they are likely to go for guys that are assholes and end up making them cry anyway....and then they'll complain about it afterwards.</p>
All of my girlfriends and all the girls I've liked all have similar vibes to them. Unfortunetly, they're usually girls who are either taken or have a long list of guys going after them. Still doesn't stop me though, I've managed to leave a mark (whether as a friend or otherwise) inmost of thier lives, and that's cool with me.</p>
By the way, wtf happened to Shard? I miss his random sex stories, they were hilarious.</p>
