Have you ever thought you knew someone..really knew them, only to find out that they werent that person at all..it was just a clever disguise?
I seem to have some sort of attractant to these ppl..wth?lol
But my problem is I forgive them..everyone makes mistakes right??
But when it happens again..what do i do now?
I have been told before I try to see good in ppl that clearly isnt there..im beginning to think this is true.
I am sick of being the doormat for ppl who have no interest but to hurt ppl.
I let them take me for granted,even sometimes make me think its my fault!
I guess they are just good at what they do..i dont understand this..never will.

You are The Tower
Ambition, fighting, war, courage. Destruction, danger, fall, ruin.
The Tower represents war, destruction, but also spiritual renewal. Plans are disrupted. Your views and ideas will change as a result.
The Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. The Tower stands for "false concepts and institutions that we take for real." You have been shaken up; blinded by a shocking revelation. It sometimes takes that to see a truth that one refuses to see. Or to bring down beliefs that are so well constructed. What's most important to remember is that the tearing down of this structure, however painful, makes room for something new to be built.

The pharaoh of pop!18:40 Aug 08 2009
Times Read: 708
Chicago is abuzz with the sudden discovery of an ancient Egyptian statue that looks uncannily like the late king of pop — or perhaps it should be pharaoh of pop — in the collection of one of the most respected natural history museums in the United States.
Though it’s too soon to tell whether the bust will boost The Field Museum’s attendance, many visitors among the usual August throng this week want nothing more than to stand face-to-face with the New Kingdom doppelganger of superstar musician Michael Jackson, who died last month.
In an interview Thursday, Jim Phillips, the museum’s curator of the Near East and North Africa, said, “It’s beyond belief. People see my badge, and they’re constantly asking me, ‘Where’s Michael Jackson’s face?’ ”
Though the bust has been on display in a non-prominent area of The Field Museum’s Inside Ancient Egypt exhibit since 1988, the eerie resemblance between statue and icon was first made known to the wider public on Wednesday in a newspaper column by Michael Sneed of the Chicago Sun-Times.
“The idea that people are coming in specifically to see if they can recognize Michael Jackson is a little disturbing to me, but … if that’s what gets people interested in Egypt, interested that in 1500 B.C. people were carving these lovely faces in limestone, that’s OK with me, too,” Phillips said.
The curator said he’d never noticed the resemblance before, nor had anyone brought it to his attention. “I was never a follower of Michael Jackson, so no, I had never even thought about it.” As far as anyone knows, Jackson himself never visited The Field Museum and was not aware of the bust.
The museum has had the statue in its collection since 1899. It depicts a woman — “There’s no question it’s a woman,” Phillips said, especially considering she’s wearing eye makeup — who lived in Egypt sometime between 1550 and 1050 B.C. Beyond that, she’s as anonymous as Jackson was famous.
Before her nose was broken off by an anti-idolatry Christian or Muslim, however, it was a feature Jackson evidently would have coveted: a “ski-jump, European” shaped nose as opposed to an African one.
