What will you leave to mark your life here on earth after you have gone? What will people say about you? I mention a few things that I remember of two people who have died in my life. Will you leave a good mark? I don’t know if I will or not…but I certainly hope so. I am not perfect…no one is…but I try to be a good person because I want to treat others as I would like to be treated. Give it some thought.
Your Nashville Friend,

Sometimes you just gotta walk through it.
Well…I made it through some issues with my laptop and finally posted another episode. I chat about what has been going on with me in this one. Are you surprised? You should not be. After all…it is a personal journal podcast. Thanks for all of you who have sent in e-mails and comments. I now have THREE ratings on iTunes! Whoo hoo!
I have been doing good. It’s been a rough road, however, being able to talk about the tough times with you have helped. I did not think that it would help me as much as it has. I chat about an event that I attended that tore me apart. When I listened to this episode, I sound like I’m still hurting. I guess that I am. At the same time, I have been doing very well. I guess that there is a time to mourn and a time to dance.
Thanks for being there for me!

Were you ever the victim of a bully? Did you fear going to school? What did you do about it? In this episode, I talk about the bullying that I was a victim of and what I did. I also still discuss how this bullying caused deep harm to my friend to the point the he ended his life. I talk about how sticks and stones may break bones, but words go beyond the physical to the emotional and become worse than a bruise or cut.

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks for me. I wanted to write something to say, “thanks” to all of you for taking time to write to me to cheer me up and encourage me during my hard time. I am going to put out another podcast in the next few days. Just thought that I would write and let you know that I am still doing all right. I have a friend who keeps checking up on me. It helps to keep me feeling good to know that I am loved.
Take care of yourselves and eachother!
Your Nashville Friend,
Thom
In this episode I give thanks for the support that you have given to me after the last episode was released regarding the death of my friend. I also congratulate Tom, aka Ramble Redhead, for podcasting for THREE YEARS! I mention Hurricane Gustav and its effect on the Gulf States. Lastly, I chat briefly about being actively involved with educating yourself regarding politics so that you vote for someone that you know will vote in accordance to how you would approve of. Please vote below on how you would like to have this blog look like. It’s up to you. Some have done so already. It will be up only for another week or so. If you’d like to write me, my e-mail address is: Thom@ThomTakesOnTheWorld.com.
Keep your loved ones close.
Your Nashville Friend,
Thom
