today was honestly one of my lowest days of my life. at lunch time i found out that Tasha's Dad died and it was so sad i didnt realise it would upset me so much but i just remebered when him and hermum used to come into work and tlk to me and he was such a sweety. I just feel so sad for tash and lesley, and then i found out that Rob's mum died last night and she was quite good friends with my mum so i came home and she didnt know, so i had to tell her and it was so hard. the bus journey home was terrible cos everyone was being so nice and sweet, and kept hugging me whihc made me even worse! we're hopefully going to see tasha tomorro to try and cheer her up. but why does all this shit always happen to the nicest people! it really fuck me off.and all those christian bastards ( no fences) ask why you don't beleive in god well how the fuck can mwe when all this happens! and they say oh yeah well you know its all adam and eves fault, how can they be sure they ever excisted! why can't they just face it this world sux. sorry for the rant, but i feel a bit better now!
i just got this email from grace tho and i think it is so true!!
GEORGE CARLIN POST 9-11 (His wife recently died...) Isn't it
amazing that George Carlin - gross and mouthy comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent ... and so very appropriate post 9-11.
A wonderful Message by George Carlin: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete. Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, becausethat is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but
most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it
comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for
someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. HOW TO STAY YOUNG
> 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight
and height.
Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends.. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only
person who is
with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are
alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family,
pets,
keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your
refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is
unstable,
improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next
county, to
a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every
opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of
breathtake, but by the moments that take our breath away. If you don't
send this
to at least 8 people.... who cares?
