Love

Everyone wonders is there really such a thing as true love. Is it possible to find the one significant person who completes you in every way. All anyone wants is to be treated right, loved without pain, and taken care of in other ways then material possessions. Love is suppose to be when your heart yearns for no other then that one person, and when every time that person is seen by you your face lights up in a true smile, your heart beats fast, and there is the feeling that there is no others in the room except for you and the other person.

There are different other types of "love"the kind where its not really deep emotional feelings for the person but the love for them of a parent, a sibling, aunts, uncles, cousins, that type of love. Then there is the "love" when in reality it is only a crush upon another person, in other words a false lead on the path to perhaps happiness.

There are many out there that believe sex equals love. That if you perform the act of passion that it shows love, but in reality it doesn't. There are people who after you commit the act of passion turns from the other person, leaves, the other person, and gloats that they got as far as they did with you. Really there is no need for sex unless you plan on spending the rest of your life with the one you commit the act with.

To quote Jeff Zinnert "Love is eternal ; the aspect may change but the essence is forever" which if interrupted means a variety of different things such as Love is there should you find it and then break up it will always be there, lying dormant, but there. It is always possible to awaken it but if not it would carry through the lives you live. Every time you are reborn it would be there until you and the other person finally settle down together forever.

How do you tell the signs of true love? Well that is very simple to explain but difficult to see and know when the signs are in your life. In true love the one that is meant for you.....
-feels like your best friend in the whole world
-you feel absolutely blessed to have them
-you care about their thoughts and feelings
-willing to compromise with them on anything
-you feel like the person is your whole world
-you can spend time apart and know that you are thinking of each other,
-your friends and family truly approve
-there are fights but you are always able to resolve them
-you enjoy the time spent with them even when there is nothing spectacular happening and its just spent in silence
-you put aside what you want just to make the other person happy
-you respect their opinions always and always talk to them when something is bothering you
-there is no worries about cheating on each other cause it would never happen
-emotionally connected always shares thoughts and feelings with each other
-committing to the other doesn't scare either of you
-when disagreeing you always understand each others opinions and thoughts
-no desires to see anyone else but the other person
-genuinely cares and wants happiness for each other
-always listens to each other...
if none of these things are in the relationship then it isn't true love just a false turn in love that will most likely lead you to pain and heartbreak.

To quote Bryce Courtney "Love is energy : it can neither be created nor destroyed. It just is and always will be, giving meaning to life and direction to goodness...love will never die". Interrupted it means as it says love cannot be destroyed if you truly love someone, and they are meant to be your soul mate, then you will overcome all obstacles together, never apart. You stay by each others side and though many things try to separate and ruin soul mates the strongest and truest love and the real love in your lives remain together for eternity.

There are cases that if you do find your soul mate there is the possibility they are with another and unaware they are meant to be with you. There are ways people try to overcome that obstacle by becoming friends, getting close but knowing in their heart they are still so far away from their soul mate, and then there is the possibility that they would just leave and allow their soul mate to remain with the other person and live in their false happiness.

Must be wondering how does this writer know of true love and then heartache of it in such a situation. To that there is a simple explanation, this writer is living through it. Having found their soul mate and being forced to watch from afar the one they so truly love be happy with another. It is painful feels like a stake to the heart, and feels like though this writer is so close to her soul mate she still has to stumble upon the path of false love just to keep suspicions sown and to avoid prosecution on the behalf of her love for the one from the woman that he is with. Now look what happened this writer has started to ramble about her own love life well anyways last quote and joined is a video that is to be something for all those that are forced to or choose to go through what this writer is suffering through. To quote the legendary William Shakespeare "Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes. Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall and a preserving sweet."

The Hart Family

The Hart Family. A family within the world wrestling entertainment business that has been widely regarded as a ruling family. Stu Hart started this family and if it was not for him the name Hart would never had ever been introduced to the WWE. On December 31st 1948 Stu Hart married Helen Hart and thus the start of the great Hart Family began. Their oldest Smith was born in 1949, Bruce 1951, Keith in 1952, Wayne 1953, Dean 1954-1990, Ellie 1955, Georgia 1956, Bret 1957, Alison 1959, Ross 1961, Diana 1963, last but certainly not least the late great Owen 1965-1999.

All of Stu and Helen Hart's sons became wrestlers, as for their daughters they went on to marry wrestlers. Ellie married Jim 'the anvil' Neidhart, Diana married the british bulldog Davey Boy Smith, and Allison married Ben Bassarasb. Elllie and Jim produced recent WWE diva Natayla Neidhart, while Diana and Davey produced recent WWE superstar Harry Smith.

When the Hart Manson was bought the basement was turned into the now famous Dungen where many wrestlers trained for the professional world of wrestling. The likes of such as Brian PIllman, Abdullah the butcher, Chris Beniot, Edge, all the Hart family, Billy Graham, Tyson Kidd, Dynamite Kid, Justin Credible, Steve Blackman, Bad News Brown, Mark Henry, Honky Tonk Man, Chris Jericho, Junkyard dog, Gorilla Monsoon, Jim Neidhart, Ken Shamrock, Davey Boy Smith, Lance Storm, and Grag Valentine.

Many of those wrestlers became quite well known within the WWE, most have passed away, and those that live are still proudly telling the world they trained in the Hart Dungen by the famous Stu Hart.

Unfortunatly the great Stu Hart is passed away along with his wife helen, son Owen, son-in-law Davey Boy Smith, and grandchild Matt Annis. Owen died from a accident during his WWE carrer, he fell from the wire attached to him as he was making his way from the rafters as the Blue Blazer to the ring during the last ever KIng of the Ring pay per view. Davey Boy Smith died from a heart attack while on vacation.

The Hart Foundation may have lost three of the five original members and retired from wrestling, but the Hart name will forever remain on through the now Hart Dynasty made of Tyson,DH Smith, and Natayla.

Life After 'All In The Family'

What is 'All In The Family'? A television hit show that ran a course of nine seasons and was a total of two hundred and nine episodes. It was a American hit sitcom that installed lessons,morals, and pure laughter in all who tuned in each episode to see the Archie Bunker and his family. Having started January 12th 1971 it was so widely popular it lasted until April 8th 1979, when to reinvent itself it became Archies Place in September of 1979 again it lasted another four years and ended in 1983.

The cast consisted of Carroll O'Connor who played bigoted Archie Bunker a working-class world war II veteran, his television wife Jean Stapleton who played Edith Bunker a sweet naive woman who stood by Archie despite whatever situation occurred. Their television daughter was Sally Struthers who played Gloria Bunker Stivic who was a very outspoken young woman who despite loving her father was very much against his views on life. Then there was their television son-in-law Rob Reiner who played Gloria Stivic's husband Michael Stivic, a man who was very against Archie in everything Archie believed in such as politics, religion, social, and personal issues. Last but certainly not least was Danielle Brisebois who played Edith Bunker's nine year old niece Stephanie Mills who was introduced later in the show after Gloria and Michael Stivic leaves the Bunker household.

Many have wondered the long asked question of after All In The Family what happened to those television icons? Well I am going to answer that long asked question by focusing only one those main characters and their struggles in the television world after the show officially went off the air.

After All In The Family went off the air at the end of the reinvented titled show Archies Place Carroll O'Connor 'Archie Bunker' went on to act in a television show called 'In the Heat of the Night' where he played a Chief Officer named Bill Gillespie.Carroll's show In the Heat of the Night' last seven seasons when it was cancelled in 1994. After his role in In the Heat of the Night Carroll did five more television appearances his last in 2000. In 2001 Carroll O'Connor passed away due to a heart attack caused by complications of diabetes. He was buried at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery and in memorial to him TV land did a whole weekend line up of episodes of All In The Family with interviews with him and other various cast mates of him during commerical breaks.

Jean Stapleton 'Edith Bunker' went of after All In The Family to be a great Broadway star and remained a television actress as well as adding movie actress to her lengthily resume. Her last role was in television show Like Mother Like Son: The Strange Story of Sante and Kenny Kimes in 2001 as role of Irene Silverman . There is not much said about Jean Stapleton anymore these days for she has retired from the business and lives happily in Manhattan.

Sally Struthers moved on after All In The Family to many other television appearances her most recent in production film is called Monster Heroes where she plays the role of Kripta.

As for Rob Reiner 'Michael Stivic' after he left All In The family at the end of the show season run he moved on to multiple television,movie,producing,writing and political activist positions in the world. His most recent role is in television show 30 Rock in which he plays the role of Rep. Rob Reiner / Stanley the Dog.

Last but certainly not least is Danielle Brisebois little Stephanie Mills Edith Bunker's nine year old niece in the show. After her role in All In The Family she moved on to a very few roles in television and film her last being  in 1998 in the television show Stories From My Childhood in which she plays the role of Eliza.

After all the seasons and all the episodes what impact did the show have in the world. Well past president Richard Nixon spoke of the show, and t-shirts,buttons,bumper stickers and other such items showed up around the 1972 election with O'Conner's image and promoting Archie Bunker for president. The famous chairs of Archie and Edith Bunker now sit in a exhibit in the Smithsonian Institution part of a exhibit on American television history in 1978. The hit show was granted a 33 cent stamp, Kingsauce recorded a song called "Working Class Zero" paying homage to Archie Bunker, the hit animated television show Family Guy pays homage to All In The Family in the beginning of their show by having Peter and Lois Griffin playing the piano and singing a verse on the loss of values in the world. The other hit animated television show The Simpson's as well did a homage to All In The Family during a episode titled Lisa's Sax where in the beginning Homer and Marge Simpson are seen playing the piano and singing a modern version of "Those Were The Days". As for the set of the show part of the Bunker kitchen was used in the show "Everyone loves Raymond" more then 25 years later.

Doubtfully anyone will truly understand what made All In The Family such a hit television show but it is a show that will remain in the hearts of all viewers, and will never be forgotten for even when the rest of the cast passes away the memories, and the artifacts from the show will live on in forever.
