You know, it's kinda funny....

I was talking to a friend just now on IM and she said that she really enjoyed my "philosophical meanderings" in my blog and thought I should write more often, like everyday.. and that she thought other people would really enjoy reading my thoughts. That's neat to me, because it's not a cheap, obligatory comment that she had to give. I hadn't asked if she read my journal. They offered that up all on their own... How nice to have someone say that what I think and what I share makes a difference....

Thank you Ani & Frankie for giving me the gift of your interest.

Why is it that when we are young we know everyone in our neighbourhood? We make friends with every other kid on our street so we have someone to hang out with, something to do? But when we grow up & we’re smarter, better communicators & know so much more of the world we are lost in our own neighbourhood? We don’t know the names of the family across the street or even the couple next door? The world is so strange and anti-social and closed off. Imagine how much good it could do if we still knew all our neighbours, if we still spent all day outside playing with the other kids?

What is this obsession people have with “being somebody”? Don’t they realize that you are “somebody” just by existing? That’s all there is to it- exist. If you continue to draw breath, you are somebody. Congratulations.

Well, we may finally be getting a damn car! We got tomorrow to look at a van for only $75!!! Supposedly it needs a battery (which I have at my dad's), has got no door handles (which Brian says aren't that hard to replace) and a couple bolts. I'm praying this works out for us! It'd be soooo nice!
