Lots o Thoughts

(first written 10-4-2004)

to save space and time, here a few thoughts combined into one e-mail.


Health:

I had FLE today and I couldn't help but notice a problem with the way people think. we all have this notion that if we eat right, exercise and eat healthy, we will live very long. of course as kids, we don't follow strict regiments of diets and health. the argument is that you eat healthy now, you will live healthy when your like sixty. my problem with this is that if eating healthy now makes it so that I have to eat healthy later, I'd rather enjoy what I eat now, and not worry. later in life, it will be worth it. I don't plan to live forever. I guess this sounds lazy but, I'll worry about it later.



football:

I thought up a fucking brilliant play in football. say your team is out of time-outs, but desperately needs one. they could pay someone to sit in the stands and when the time is right, run on to the field. they would have to stop the clock while they got the lunatic of the field. he goes to jail, you get your play, and later you bail him out of jail because of good will. fucking genius.


grateful:

after the necessary people I am grateful for and to, such as family and friends, the next people on my list is very good. it ought to be on everyone's list. I am very grateful to any and all drivers. I would like to say to any driver out there. keep up the good work. thank you for not running me over. its nice to know that the risk of jail and death is greater than your urge to run me over. Again, thank you.


sorry:

this is something we all do that I'd like to apologize for. when ever you see a celebrity on TV, you make your judgment on what you see from other people. the first one. so... all this negative ness on Bush gives me a negative attitude towards him. he might deserve it, but I don't know him. and because Michael Moore is portrayed as an anti-corporate good guy, I see him as a good guy. this is totally unfair to all the people I see negative first. I apologize to these people. I would like to give a special apology to Rob Riener. I saw him portrayed on South Park and got the negativity. it recently dawned on me that he is probably nothing like that and that's just unfair to think of him like that without anymore thought behind it. if any of you know Rob Riener, could you tell him I'm sorry.


what happened to the trust?


I'm not the first to say it, but still, how come we don't trust anyone anymore. hitch hiking crossed my mind and I gave it some thought. it used to be 4 out of 5 people would give you a ride if you were heading in the same direction.hitch hikers weren't necessarily poor people, they just didn't have a car or a ride to where they needed to go. the fifth person would probably not take the hitch hiker because they were in a hurry, or they didn't have room. today, you almost NEVER see hitch hikers anymore anywhere. they are so negative in the media now and no one picks them up. what used to be friendly conversation has been replaced by awkward silence. I'm sick of it. start being more friendly. don't wake up with a smile, because that's insincere. work your way up to one after breakfast and certainly have it with you as you walk out the door.



I'm glad to get this all of my chest. further I'm glad that I did it in one e-mail. the thought crosses my mind that the bad thing about this is that people will grow bored and not read it all. I hope that isn't the case, but if you got this far, it's probably because you did read all of it. you, I also thank.
