Hey, Google-ers of me.

At least say hi ;)

MySpace Graphics

Changed the layout on my MySpace page either late last night or early this morning (mommy.brain) and I didn't like how all of my graphics didn't match the new colors. I re-made them myself in Photoshop CS3 with the new colors. Now my page is happy. So am I :)

Here's a few just so you can see:

Friendship.

FRIENDSHIP IS A PRICELESS GIFT

THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT OR SOLD

BUT ITS VALUE IS FAR GREATER

THAN THE MOUNTAIN MADE OF GOLD

FOR GOLD IS COLD & LIFELESS

IT CAN NEITHER SEE NOR HEAR

& IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE

IT IS POWERLESS TO CHEER

IT HAS NO EARS TO LISTEN

NOR HEART TO UNDERSTAND

IT CANNOT BRING YOU COMFORT

OR REACH OUT A HELPING HAND

SO WHEN YOU ASK

GOD FOR A GIFT

BE THANKFUL IF HE SENDS

NOT DIAMONDS, PEARLS OR RICHES

BUT THE LOVE OF REAL TRUE FRIENDS
