Congrats

I want to wish a Happy Anniversary to my parents. That is right 31 years. Props to them for their commitment.

What to Say?

Too much has been going through my head lately. Mentally I just am swirling. It seems like different things just keep coming my way. First off, a holiday without family is hard. I wonder what Christmas will be like. I am concerned.

Relationships are such hard beasts. Man, if communication was better, it would be easier. Assumptions and expectations seem to just screw everything up. That is a whole post in itself.

It is nice to be picked. It is not nice to not be picked. Last is bad to. Just something.

Nature

Well, the last post may have left a little to be desired. Sorry. Anyway. A lot of people talk about how beautiful nature. The sky, the trees, oceans, mountains. It is wonderful, and I love it, but what about the sound?

How many people talk about the sound of nature? Have you ever stopped to listen? Today I stopped at a creek. It was bubbling down the rocks and was a very soothing sound. The wind blowing through the trees is nice to. There are just so many sounds that are so nice and calming. The sounds of nature are incredible and amazing.

Just a thought.

Life is Life

Life just goes. It doesn't stop. It doesn't even slow down. It just goes. Sometimes good things happen and sometimes bad things, but life still goes.

So how do we respond? Do we try to change the fact? I know that I sometimes do. I wonder if we should just accept the things that happen and either be thankful or turn them for the better.

I like women

Ode to Women

I know that I have talked in the past about the wonders of women, but it has been a while so I figure that I shall opine on it again. Women are nice. Some would say very nice. They smell nice, talk nice, touch nice. Oo, the touch of a woman....

Okay, Okay, I woke up. Anyway. There is something wonderful and mysterious about a woman. Something that us men can't understand. And that is what I think the beauty of it is. We don't understand each other, yet we aren't complete without each other.

And that is why I like women, no, love women. They are awesome and I am glad for pretty much every interaction I have with them.

(Disclaimer: This ode is in no way to be construed as an ode towards a specific woman. There is no specific woman for this, so quit assuming stuff and lay off, you little buggers!)

Left of Center

Why do people most commonly leave others out of things? I would guess that the large majority of the time, it isn't an intentional thing. I would bet that mostly it is because they forget.

So what makes people forget other people? A lot of it probably has to do with the fact that if you don't know somebody that well, or want to know them that well, you are always thinking about or making the effort to get to know them more. And the person is just not thought about. A very simple thing.

Now here is another question. Are some people just naturally more forgettable than others? Hmm.

What do you want?

What do we all want? Is it acceptance? Is it respect? Is it love? Can we have the last two without acceptance?

Just been thinking about how I feel a part of a group. Usually it is when I am accepted for who I am. When they just expect me to be me. They don't want anything out of me. Isn't that how community starts? Yep, I just used a buzzword. Sorry, it was the only one that fit. I don't know, just wondering.

What is it for you?

Cheesy Pick-Up line #384

(Pick up some fallen leaves)
(Walk up to girl and say)

-As time goes by

-Just like these leaves

-I keep falling for you (As you say the last line, drop the leaves next to her)

That's right, an original.
