I Want to Hold Your Hand

I have no patience for people who do not take responsibility for their own actions. It is very difficult in this time to find a person who will say, "it is my fault, I am sorry."
I cannot abide parents who do not keep their children civil in public. To see a child in a public place making themselves a nuisance and a parent talking on a phone or otherwise ignoring a child makes me seethe. I would rather leave.
I have no patience for those who think that money can solve all the world's problems. Nothing will solve the worlds problems but people.

My mother started referring to me as Louie, and some of my high-school friends picked up on it. It was a natural progression from Lori and it stuck for the longest time. I even had it on the back of my letter jacket. My BFF from high-school still calls me that occasionally, and it reminds me of my mom, a bitter-sweet memory.
