Absurd thinking

I think you have to stop people from trying to think for you less they waste your time and possibly commit a crime. I'm being facetious when I say the latter but perhaps not by means of inaccurate truth but rather as a strong provocative that we have to be mindful of how we handle one another and why we interact with each other acknowledging the possibility but yet being hopeful that people would not go to such extremes. So what prompts my pre-evening analytics?

Well I have a philosophy that anytime a friend I haven't spoken to in a moment comes to mind, there's a reason and it could be that hey you need to check on someone who is important in your life. That's easy enough right? Well the pondering of the matter exists because I had a conversation with a family member, my aunt who said, that I just completely stopped talking with a friend. They said it with such a knowingness, that I thought, how absurd! Not to mention they were not even clear on the facts. But that's beside the point. What's significant here is the idea, that one, I, (or anybody) would just stop talking for the sake of just forgetting a friend. It seems so irrational. And it occurred to me that you are friends on purpose, and that just doesn't stop unless as I said, an extreme transgression is committed against the person in the relationship and it injures the spirit of what the friendship stood for and is about. The conversation emphasizes that you do things on purpose when you express love to one another and people you care about and you let them know that you are doing it. Sometimes it can be something so simple but yet so personal that means the most.

Just thinking

Love is the thing that makes you smile, knows when you need a hug, supports you when you need uplifting, is a calming force, an ally when needed, but more importantly a hand to hold in times good, bad, and otherwise. Love is not be feared. But we should fear never giving ourselves and truly loving.

A Nice Breeze and a Bit of Perspective

As I stated yesterday I went for a walk and enjoyable it was. It was windy and I loved it. 70 degrees and a breeze didn't make for a bad time outdoors at all. Needless to say it brought yesterday's earlier agitation (read totally perturbed) to a simmer and provided an interesting perspective. I relished the blowing air and thought about my time in college. It was great and I got through it with out too much drama or incident (with the exception of a few memorables, which is for another day another post). That being said, I didn't drink, smoke or experiment with drugs. I don't say that as some type of badge of honor because that's not the case at all. But it was apparent, that somewhere along the way I truly believed what my grandparents told me growing up about character, honor, and integrity. However, the older I get I've grown wary or maybe even cynical at what maybe appears to be watered-down standards we've immersed ourselves in society. Notice I say ...

Movie Watch

Keep the reel running. Just kidding kinda. Actually I say that because I was not a big TV person(literally). It was not uncommon for several weeks to go by with out me turning it on. But I've probably watched more TV this year than I have ever. That being said, I've learned a few things. TV has given me a different perspective on life. Not entirely but enough to learn something. Of course some of the greatest fun I've had is identifying what I like and don't like about the films and why. Some lessons learned have come out of the most unsuspecting shows. Here's something interesting to do, think about the movies and TV shows you've seen this year and think about how they have made you ponder during the 1st decade of the 21st Century. Here's one of the realizations I've discovered in 2010. People can be reckless with the lives of others. And after having learned that, here's the reality check I got in my own life- those who are reckless in their ca...
