its mind blowing how people you don't see for such a short time can can become so much different than you. maybe i'm the abnormal one but i find very little REAL happiness in material objects. i couldn't care less if i had a souped up car or million dollar jeans. nothing i really want has any dollar value. well, except for a new digital slr. geez, those are expensive

And on their faces just anger or disappointment. I start wishing there was something I could offer them. A consolation, what could I offer them?..."
