I was so pissed at myself.  I started to make a post at 2+2 in the thread about p5s responding to a lot of posts which I thought were flat out wrong.  I stopped myself because I knew I would be dismissed as only being "the guy who posts pics of hot ladies."  I should have went ahead and made the post but I was really afraid of making things look worse for p5s.  I was kind of surprised by the hatred expressed there and the overwhelming number of posts where the poster believed that everyone on this site was beneath him/her.  Adam made what I thought was a great post in response to the questions about the posting policies and the relationship of p5s to UB.  It was a tough thread to read through though.

Antoher thing that is frustrating sometimes is being known mostly for one thing.  At times I have thought about stopping the pic posts even though I know a lot of people like them.  I usually decide not to stop because I really don't want the people who don't like them to think they are responsible for that decision.   I know the posts aren't going to bring peace to the world, oh if it were only so easy :).  They do serve a purpose for me by helping me focus on something when things in the real world are a pain.  Plus, let's face it, it is a nice way to spend an hour or so.  Great pics are enjoyable to see.  Beautiful women are great to look at and Great pics of beautiful women are exponentionally greater to view.  Plus I do like that people can take a break from things bother them for a minute or two.  It goes without saying that I do love finding pics that make me stop and say "damn!" 

Thinking about this has helped me understand something that I didn't before.  While I am in no way comparing what I do with the talent of the people below, I do have a better understanding of them.  I never could understand why great comedians, Robin Williams, Bill Murray, Jim Carey and Adam Sandler would take these serious roles and "waste" their talent and time.  It used to piss me off especially when I didn't like the serious role they chose.  But I can understand why someone would not want to be considered only for a specific thing and would want to show that they have other abilities.

I hope everyone has a great day today.  I may come back and revisit this later   I have been working on a post about why I continue to play at UB considering what has happened there.  Thanks for your time.  Peace and Love
