The Electoral College was necessary when communications were poor, literacy was low, and VOTERS lacked information about out-of-state FIGURES, which is clearly no LONGER the case.

I try to KEEP in MIND that it's a long journey. It's not a race. It's about STAYING focused, continuing to do good work, make my family and community proud; that's all I REALLY want to do... and pay my bills.

I don't MIND being criticised, because I am not that EASY to KNOCK down, and no-one can DESTROY me. But I am bothered by the stupid PEOPLE who call me dirty, brainless, and an idiot. You don't say words like these to someone who you know nothing about.

You're not looking for PERFECTION in your partner. Perfection is all about the ego. With SOULMATE love, you know that true love is what happens when disappointment sets in - and you're WILLING to DEAL maturely with these disappointments.

Their lives are remembered, honored, and celebrated by all of us, including the friends, FAMILY, and FELLOW service members who knew them best.

If I try to articulate every LITTLE detail in a drawing, it would be like MISSING the forest for the TREES, so it's just about getting the OUTLINE of the forest.

I think that life is difficult. PEOPLE have challenges. Family MEMBERS get sick, people get older, you don't always get the job or the PROMOTION that you want. You have conflicts in your life. And really, life is about your resilience and your ability to go through your life and all of the ups and DOWNS with a positive attitude.

My attitude towards drawing is not NECESSARILY about drawing. It's about making the best kind of IMAGE I can make, it's about TALKING as clearly as I can.
