I took a walk.

I don't normally take Taz on many walk but this morning I was inspired to so that I could take some pictures of my neighborhood for my family that lives out of the area. I took a picture of this kinf of cool tree that has no leaves but is still coverd in fruit. I have no clue what type of fruit tree it is, other than tough. Toughest fruit tree ever. Put this fruit tree in Harlem and it will own the block in a week.

People Are Weird.

Music: The Beatles- For No One.

So I am pretty sure people are weird. Not weird like eating worms, or wearing underwear outside their clothes, but weird as in normal doesn't exist and people are always on different pages from one another. Not every person is different from every other person, but person may be totally different from persons 2, 3, 4 5, 7, 8, and 9, and be very similar to person 6. I do have a point here so stick with me. This is probably why people find friends in such odd places, have friendships that wax and wane, and realize they love someone who is totally unlike anything they (or anyone else) ever thought they would want.
I kind of say this thanks to MySpace.com. I have an account and it has been pretty cool for finding people I was friends with in high school. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but I really think we have the friends we do in high school for a reason. Not that finding lifelong friendship or love there is unheard of and totally out of this world, but that it maybe is one in a million.
I totally like/love all the friends I had in high school. The memories that I made during that time in my life will always have a special place in my heart but we do get older. Things that weren't important to us at that point have become life-and-death matters and things we didn't think we could live without as teenagers suddenly seem extraneous. I'm not saying that even though we are 4 years older (and counting!) we could never be friends again, but maybe more that we don't need to be friends anymore. We don't need each other the way we once did, we aren't being thrown together sort of against our will. In the interceding years we have changed for the better or for the worse, it doesn’t matter. It happened. And it will keep happening. We will keep meeting new people and making new friends. We will keep running into the people from our past and renewing friendships. It's not good or bad. It just is.
So I guess my point is that even though you knew this person, and you were best friends, and cried on each other's shoulders and laughed at the dorky kid who wore a suit everyday and went to parties and graduation and pep rallies and laughed at the cheerleader being off tempo, you maybe don’t know them anymore. You don't know what they've been through, what they are going through. All you have is this image of what they were, how you remember them and maybe this wasn't even their true self. Maybe this was just an image they projected, or maybe it was just a phase. OR maybe that was their true self, but you've changed. It's okay. No one expects you to stay the same for ever and ever. It is our right to change and grow and mature. Don't hold it against them, and don't hold it against yourself.

Maybe it is good to be a girl.

Music: A Message- Coldplay

Well sometimes anyways. Am I right? It totally allows a person (usually a female person, but I am pretty open-minded) to be backwards, eccentric, irrational, and otherwise nuts with no explanation other than "PMS" or "bad day" or what ever. Not that this is a nice thing to do. Or a rational one or anything like that. But it is a perk of being a girl.
I guess being a guy would have perks too though. Not as awesome ones as being a girl, but okay ones nonetheless. When the girl is doing one of the things mentioned above a guy can totally ignore it, or make a joke, or what have you. Then when they are called on it they can claim "hey, I didn't know. I'm a dumb guy." Not that every guy will admit to being dumb, but imagine if they did. They could get out of EVERYTHING. Well not everything, not like stupid wars, or cussing in pre-schools, or anything. But at least some relationship things. I don't know what relationship things off the top of my head, but some relationship things. And whatever admitting dumbness doesn't work on there are always backrubs and flowers. Seriously, admitting dumbness, buying flowers, and backrubs can make a lady forget a lot of the minor things that crop up in relationships. At least I think so. Maybe. Hey try it out and let me know.

Yo, yo, yo.

Been having kind of a weird week. Spent Monday and Tuesday in a funk, singin' the blues. Wednesday was better, today is good. It is kind of weird. The more I have to do, the happier I am. Even if it doesn't involve leaving the house. But I will never actively look for something to do. I am very much a homebody. For the most part I would rather be at home, chillin' and wacthin' TV than out doing stuff. I am not sure why this is. This weekend Erik and I wanna go shopping for Christmas. Well, we have our family stuff all done, all we have left is the dog and each other. I have no clue what I am gonna get Erik. He is pretty hard to shop for, he only wants really expensive stuff, but he doesn't REALLY want it. He just wouldn't mind having it. So it's kind of hard. I like to think I am an easy person to shop for. I am not exactly shy about saying what I like. Unless my mother-in-law is around. Because the second I say I like something she expects Erik to buy it for me. Even if I just say something is cute. But hey, if that is all that is "wrong" with my mother-in-law, then that's not bad at all. Anyways. I guess I didn't really have much to say, just kind of filling space. Felt a little bit guilty about not writing in here for a while. Not that anyone reads this or anything. Have a great weekend!!

PS: I would like to know how to add some things to my sidebar over there --> but I have no clue about HTML, also , anyone know how I can change the colour my posts titles come up in? I don't really like that color.

Holy Crap...

TV: Coming of Age Among the Elephants (National Geographic Channel)

No, seriously, holy crap. My house totally needs a good cleaning. I haven't gotten off my lazy but all week. The kitchen is abominable (good things I haven't cooked anything, yeah?), the laundry is on the living room floor, my bedroom carpet has completely diappeared,a nd I don't even want to think about the bathrooms. Anyone want to come over and clean my house? For free? I didn't think so. But that's cool, no one really wants to clean. Except maybe my mother-in-law. Now that is one ambitious lady. Not ambitious politically, or monetarily or anything. Cleaning ambitious. And I have no desire to be like that. Nah, I'd raher have someone else do the cleaning. See if you haven't figured it out yet, I am kind of lazy. I would much rather read (just finished The Witch of Cologne by Tabsha Learner, pretty good. Too much sex though, made it a little too porn-y.) or watch TV, play scrabble, play Sims 2, sleep, really anything. Except maybe drive. I really don't like driving. Anyways. I think I need to get a move on. Not that I really want to or anything.
