They are ages 13, 7, and 2. Im sure everyone has their sobbing stories and makes up half their statements and thats the reason I am going to make this short as possible and straight to the point. <br> I am asking for donations of any amount and trust me a dollar is better then nothing. The reason I ask for this is yes I do support my children with child support and I am NOT one of those dead beat fathers/mothers like there is all around the world. However, at the same time I pay soo much in support due to having 3 beautiful children I cant afford to hardly do anything with them when I have them on my weekends and I wish I had money to spoil them with new things like nice shoes and clothes and just having a good time with them. I dont know how to prove that your donations will be strictly used towards my daughters but if you can come up with a way for me to give proof I will do so, just please let me know (Email plano_stang@yahoo.com.) I love my girls sooo much and I just want them to think their daddy is the best. I cry day in and day out because I miss them soo much but due to having to work all the time as a Warehouse Supervisor just to be able to make ends meet since a lot is taken out for child support I feel bad cause I cant do much with them when I have them and I cant afford to buy them the things I want. So please if you can find the kindest of your heart to help me out it will be greatly appreciated and if there is anything I can do in return please let me know. <br><br>I have created a PayPal account which allows you to use a credit card if thats all you have. I have the link listed below. God bless and thank you for your contributions. <br><br><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=plano_stang%40yahoo%2ecom&item_name=My%20Princesses&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=USD&lc=US&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8" rel="nofollow">https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=plano_stang%40yahoo%2ecom&item_name=My%20Princesses&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=USD&lc=US&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8</a><br> Hello,

You know when a newspaper took a really bad pic of me in the past, I didn\'t mind, as it was forgotten about in a couple of days. But now they put all their content online everyone can see these bad pics for years to come. It sucks. I think I need to employ a body double. Totally agree.

Context. Such a simple word, but you hit the nail on the head.

Like I\’ve always said, there are pros and cons to publicity.
The pro is that you\’ll get really well known.
The con is that you\’ll get really well known.

The Internet sure is a powerful tool and just allows subjectivity and ambiguity to flourish amongst information.

I was wondering why Brian disappeared from Myspace, and from reading one of his blogs, I now assume it was from someone picking irrelevant text from his page and making a public point about it. Silly and how many people are influenced by this. Let alone a writer with a powerful medium isn\’t using his channel to make a positive difference in the world.

Through my years of sales and life hustling, I have come up with my own formula and theories. I strive to break everything down to its most simplistic format, isolating the variables just as a scientist.

What does this all mean? Proof and opinions should be based on observed fact, first hand knowledge. With a brain people can analyze. With an unused or surpressed brain, one just absorbs others opinions and conditioned as how to think.

Perhaps I am lucky I am an artist, proof is in my painting, and anything anyone can dig up is just a path I have taken toward my creations! That is the legacy of living on and making a difference.

Ayn Rand, especially The Fountain Head is/was a huge influence on me. Loved Cary Grant in the movie.. I live this way as well and my word, honesty, trust and passion is always true to myself first. Integrity, detail and vision.

Zig Ziggler is another favorite, especially his lecture on Goals. I love the acronym of FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real). With Luck being where Preparation creates Opportunity, we make our own luck.. it is not accident.

Lastly, hopefully as you or some readers may enjoy me wisdom, is the priceless acronym of KISS\’s (Keep It Silly Simple Stupid).

Hope to maybe catch you here in LA while your Dancing!!

Creative Regards
