About me: ( by DUSTIN RAWLS)


I’m so genuinely caring that people often take my genuine interest in their thoughts as sarcasm or mocking. I’m loyal to those who are loyal to me and often to those who aren’t. I think everyone will get his or hers in the end. I’m somewhat of a wanderer -- in thought and physical location. I’m not a “think-before-you-speak” kinda guy. I have no respect for a disrespectful person. I consider myself to be virtually fearless, and although I acknowledge consequence, I don’t empower it – “Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt.” Every man should pave his own path, establish his own beliefs and take full advantage of his right to the pursuit of happiness! “Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.” I’m a hopeless romantic, believe in love and soul mates and want a woman who sees right through me and loves what she finds! I have the tightest knit group of friends and greatest family a man could ask for and would lay down my life for every one of them!

Favorite Quotes

Procrastination is wasting today’s time to clutter up tomorrow’s opportunities with yesterday’s troubles.


To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

I know Dustin was making some changes as you can read moving out on his own and wanting a dog LOL I read this and I think God was preparing us all for the plan he had for Dustin. That he would be moving by himself into a place we all can just imagine.

Hey Momma --

I e-mailed Tiff about Paul. That's crazy! I know his job is dangerous though. Any new word on the groundbreakin' event?!? I'm not gonna move out there. The more I thought about it, it's too far from Houston for me. And, I think I'm gonna actually move further into Houston by myself. I'm gettin' a lil burned out on the roommate deal. How are all the new babies doin'? I wish I had enough time to have a dog. I want a medium sized dog, but 6 weeks away from it will make it forget me, I think. What do you think? I'm soooo ready to get outta here. 4 more days...woo-hoo!! Did I tell you the restaurant is closing down? Friday is its last day open. I'm gonna go eat there when I get back in town and say goodbye! It's sad to me. I worked there a long time and they gave me lots of opportunities to learn. Oh well, such is life. I love you and miss you. I e-mailed Uncle Hungry, but he never replied. Is he OK? You can e-mail here, but no forwards and you have to put my name in the subject line.

I love you!!

Dustin

Hey momma,

Thank you so much!! The good thing about this birthday is I've begun to accept that I'm a good person and deserve good things to happen. I think that's a big step in growing up and being successful! I don't feel guilty for receiving compliments and/or rewards for who I am and what I do. And, you've been a huge part of helpin' me turn out this way! I wouldn't have made it this far w/o you! I love you, and this next year will be even better for me and for you! Hope everything is well! See ya in a couple weeks!!

Dustin

Well 25 years ago today you were about 3 hours old. What a great day for us all. Now you have grown up to be a great person with a big heart! You have so much going for you and I know it will all fall in place each year. I do not know many  men that have looks,charm,brains and feelings all wrapped into one and these are the things that make you so very special to me and I am sure to others.
I hope you have a great year and many more ahead of you!
I love you so very much and so very proud of you each and every day! Mother
