Why do I do what I do? I guess it all comes down to living up to the expectations I set for myself. Trying to be the best ME I can be. To ME, that means being a great husband, father (I have TWO boys), son, brother, co-worker…etc. By being GREAT, I want to live a life that contributes to the joy of others. If I can affect a person in such a way that allows them to experience even the smallest degree of happiness, then I’m content knowing I’m fullfilling some grand, universal plan. I hope my attitude and genuine desire to be NICE reaffirms people’s faith in our shared, inherent capacity for goodness and motivates others to treat each other with dignity, respect and a true sense of community. Thanks for being a kindred spirit Allison!

this is the first time i’ve visited your site. i’ve been watching smallville since about season 4. i got caught up using dvd’s. and i don’t remember exactly when it was but i looked at my wife and i said, “you know, the girl who plays chloe is just a fantastic actress. best acting on the show.” of course as i came to appreciate your acting abilities something happened that seems to happen to all the things i like. they killed your character on a season finale. your character had just become a primary reason i watch the show and then they killed her. well thankfully that was just a plot twist.

I want to live my life to the fullest and achieve self actualization through finding what is most important to me, which is being with those that I love, helping people overcome emotional obstacles, helping them think outside the box of society, making paintings, enjoying nature and sunlight, traveling, learning about new cultures, forms of art, perspectives, ideals, paradigms, reasons to live, and so on and on and on. This is what I do. I do it because it gives me a feeling of purpose and completeness. I love making people happy, and expressing myself. I love to seek first to understand, then to be understood, through whichever method it may be; talking, dancing, drawing, singing, whatever. And every day, I try and face the question, “why?” because if I don’t, I feel like I am living in a delusion of regularity and routine, and everything becomes senseless, like a drone that does what it does without actual reason.

Oh whoops… as far as life goes… I’m still trying to figure out what to do. On one hand I want to… be recognized. To be… validated in a way. I want to have kudos and honors… but on the other hand I see that some of the most superficial things get honor, get kudos…

I know I want to be connected to humanity. To every day people. I want to help where help is needed and not necessarily where… the most glamor or recognition will be…

I have a lot of questions to answer. I know the answer is out there but it will be a long journey. I’m no where near a place where I can say… hmm here I am doing what I do… why?

I’m still searching. I guess in a way I’m kind of fearful of committing… I really need to jump in.

Why I come here and post sometimes… I guess it really has changed from what it was initially. I think it was the post with the lady who studied the brain and then got a brain injury. LOL! I love conversations. I love having conversations that can be silly one minute then spiritual the next then really deep then really vulnerable then just… blowing a raspberry! So. That’s why I come because this blog is like a delicious conversation with good friend. My brain gets exercise and so does my heart and spirit…

I do what I do,to find a sense of peace and balance in this universe. Sounds boring, but when I have down time I read, things like organic chemistry or books about hope and positivity. I like to travel and meet people, oh and I admit I am a spongebob fan! Why? I guess out of curiousity. Knowledge is power! And why not?

Hey Allison, I have to say, you are really amazing and I support you to keep doing what your doing! I’m hapy there’s more people coming to the site. It seems like just yesterday there was only 50 comments and now it’s like over 200 for one post! I can’t keep up! Why do I do what I do? I do what I do because I love doing it. Don’t do something you don’t like because you’ll loose focus on what you really like! I’m seriously blown away by these posts! These questions just keep getting me closer to finding myself every comment! Bye for now, BrittXOxo

I do what I do to affect the future. I want to find a student who doesn’t think they have anything to look forward to in life and prove them wrong and show them they have everything to live for and that life is what they make of it.

I teach English in a school district with a high poverty rate–almost 50%. We are in central Illinois and get many transfer students from Chicago. And because of the high poverty rate, many of the students don’t believe that they can succeed and actually have a chance to fulfill their dreams.

It’s not an easy job to change their outlook on life. I often come home in the evenings and wonder if I really have a chance to make a difference. I don’t just have the job of teaching them English–how to read, write, speak, and listen–but how to work hard, how to act in a professional situation, and how to set high expectations of themselves.

I do what I do because even if I fail today, I know there’s always tomorrow. Another chance, another child, another future.
