I ♥ Galveston 

- As a matter of fact, it was the first beach I ever set foot as a child (with my grandparents, who are no longer living). In high school my friends and I went every summer. January of this year, husband and I went to see his daughter's cheerleading competition there.

It has kinda been my happy place - I hope it isn't messed up too bad

Making Distinctions Between Narcissists and Sociopaths Will Serve You Well

Making Distinctions Between Narcissists and Sociopaths Will Serve You Well
By Linda Martinez-Lewi Ph.D.

The narcissistic personality has become pervasive in today's society. We frequently find them in top tier positions in business, government, entertainment and various professional power centers. The sociopath functions outside of society but his criminal acts have a tragic negative effect on everyone. The narcissist creates an elaborate image of perfection that brings him praise and admiration. At the highest levels the narcissist is charismatic and easily finds followers who will fulfill his voracious ego needs. High-level narcissists fool a lot of people, displaying a magnetic charm that is irresistible. Unlike the narcissist, the sociopath (anti-social personality) doesn't care one wit about the impression he is making. He lives in his own world, does what he wants, and detests and looks down on others. People are foolish pawns designed to be trapped in his web. The sociopath is an exploiter par excellence. The sociopath can be charming and seductive when he turns on his bright lights to get exactly what he wants when he wants it. But this panache is a thin, short-lived ploy.

Part of the narcissistic image is the impression that his spouse and family will make upon others. The narcissist often presents himself as a devoted spouse and parent, willing to do anything for them. The narcissist displays a false empathy in which he pretends that he can put himself in someone else's place. The sociopath, completely lacking in empathy, is noted by a total disregard for his family, including children and pets. He/she often puts them in physical danger through neglect, recklessness, physical assault, and chronic criminal behavior. Narcissists do not have a well developed conscience and often go over the line both ethically and legally. But they make sure that they don't get caught. Narcissists keep their physical aggressiveness in check because they have so much riding on their elaborate images. Sociopaths have histories of perpetrating physical violence from early childhood, through adolescence and adulthood.

Narcissists are always selling themselves. High-level narcissists are frequently very successful; one might even think they were born with a money gene. Most high-level narcissists are constantly focusing on new ways to increase their wealth and worldly stature. Some white collar sociopaths (forgers, counterfeiters, pyramid schemers) avoid arrest and conviction through their cunning and stealth. The sociopath goes after money but the route he takes is frequently violent. Often the sociopath turns deadly, committing violent crimes (robbery, rape, physical assault, murder). Sociopaths are often arrested and sent to prison numerous times throughout their lives. The sociopath is physically and psychologically dangerous to most of those he encounters. He leads a violent, criminal life, devoid of conscience, compassion or human warmth. The narcissist wreaks a lot of human havoc in his personal and professional life.

Both of these personality disorders leave enormous swaths of human devastation behind. Knowing and understanding who you are dealing with, will enable you to protect yourself and maintain psychological balance.

The Sociopathic Style: Related Articles (A Look at PAS): "'The majority of psychopaths manage to ply their trade without murdering people. By focusing too much on the most brutal and newsworthy examples of their behavior, we run the risk of remaining blind to the larger picture: psychopaths who don't kill but who have a personal impact on our daily lives.'"

He will show you a good time, but you will always get the bill. He will smile and deceive you, and he will scare you with his eyes. And when he is through with you, and he will be through with you, he will desert you and take with him your innocence and your pride. You will be left much sadder but not a lot wiser, and for a long time you will wonder what happened and what you did wrong. And if another of his kind comes knocking at your door, will you open it?

Obama: Antichrist Superstar??

Obama: Antichrist Superstar??

I have been joking around for almost a year now about Obama being the Antichrist

Here's some "evidence" supporting that claim

(Note: If it is the end of the world, there is NOT SHIT we can do to stop it.
If obama is the Antichrist, then there are shitty times ahead. If he's not, there are shitty times ahead (at least for the forseeable future with gas and groceries costing twice as much as last year while working americans paychecks no longer cover the basic cost of living.)

Anyway - enjoy these videos regarding whether or not Senator Obama is in fact the Antichrist -
