Since starting this blog I have had heard all kinds of things from friends, associates, etc.  Two of my boys ask if I needed a hug?  A lady friend said that she better not show up in here.  There are a few people that aren't talking to me.  There are some who are worried.  I had another friend tell me to keep on writing and that is what I am going to do!

Here are some random thoughts...

Over 200 people died in those storms across the South last night and that is terrible.  But why does it take a natural disaster, a war, or something that is so called "news worthy" to grab everyones attention?  People are dying every day from disease, famine, murder, old age and on a daily basis most of us don't give a damn unless it hits close to home.

I have put some of my ugliest, scariest, best, and worst thoughts on here but why can't we all share those?  I don't mean put it on the web like I do but how many can't tell anyone at all?  We all have things to hide including my nutty ass.  And why?  Most likely because we are scared to be judged or to loose someone or something.

How many times a day do you think about doing something different, taking a risk, chasing a dream, telling someone how you really feel, and then you don't do a thing?  What if you miss that opportunity, what if you look back and wonder what if, what if you loose someone and they never knew what they really meant to you?

Ethnocentrism....a lot of you know that this basically means that someone believes that their way of life is best or superior.  That isn't Webster's definition but you get the point.  I'm guilty of it.  I think we live in the best country in the world but how the hell would I know?  I have not lived in other countries.  How often do we judge other's lifestyles or beliefs?  We sit around and "people watch" just to make fun of their apperance and laugh about it.  I have made fun of people and talked about their appearance on this damn blog.  Want to really piss someone off?  Talk about their religion and tell them you think they are wrong.  But who really knows?!

If I put everything I have seen and been around on here I would shock the hell out of most of you.  I am just giving you the mild shit and mild thoughts.  I have been knocked down many times and have brought a lot of that on myself too but I always get back on my damn feet.  I have swallowed my pride and told someone how I feel.  I took a huge risk and I stress more than almost any of you know.  So before you give me the cold shoulder, write me off, or judge me...take a look in the rear view and see if you like the view.
