See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil
"It takes a long time to grow an old friend."-John Leonard
It has been brought to my attention that my previous entry was taken the wrong way and the way that it was taken was completely incorrect. I do not want to end any friendships or anything of that nature, but I was talking about me in that entry. I was talking about my direction in life. That was the metaphor. Friendship is highly important to me, but the thing that may throw people off about me is that I do not consider any one person or group of people my best friend(s), and it's mainly because I think that it's wrong to categorize your friends in such a manner. Granted, there are friends that I trust more than others or that I'm closer to in such a way that I can share more with them than others, but overall, my friends are my friends and nobody is better than anybody else. That ends that little bit of controversy...I hope.
You know, I read a news story recently about a stepmother that kept her stepchildren in the basement and starved them while their father was out on the road...which he apparently was quite often. Well, when authorities found these children, it was speculated that the kids had not eaten nor drank anything for over six days...oh, and here's the kicker, her actual children were upstairs well fed and healthy. Now, here's my question. How sick and inhumane does a person have to be to do something like that...biological kids or stepkids?!! I don't care of they weren't actually my kids or not, they would not go unfed. I hope this woman gets everything that she deserves...and more!!
I've been thinking a lot lately about whether or not I should look into moving out with someone once I start working again. I mean, I don't trust many people as it is, and that's a huge thing to trust someone with...and it's unfortunately how many friendships go to hell. I know there are a lot of people out there that think I'm incapable of taking the task on, but it just makes it much sweeter when I do and get to throw it back in their faces. I don't enjoy it to be mean spirited, but I do it in order to prove myself. I've been told countless times throughout my life that I couldn't do something only to go on and actually do it. Anyways, there are advantages to staying home and working and there are advantages to living with a friend and working, and I'm not sure at this point what I should do. I guess we'll see what happens when the time comes.
It's been forever since I've had a girlfriend, folks, and to be honest, I really don't care. I don't care, because there are much more important things to be worrying about at the moment, and I also don't care, because frankly, girls around here suck. They seem to think that they've gotta do this and that to impress guys, but really, they don't. Another thing is rumors. This place is so small that if one girl knows something, then odds are, others will find out, and that just blows. Granted, if I met a girl and things started heading in that direction, then I would be open to it, but proceed with caution. Girls are a lot like movies. Most of them suck, but there are a few that you're gonna want to see over and over again.
Well, it seems that my Atlanta Braves are back in the playoff picture, believe it or not. Yeah, they're 12.5 back in the NL East, but they're a mere 5 games out of the NL Wildcard, and that race, my friends, is logjammed. They've recently been on a great offensive tear and the pitching hasn't been as bad as it was. After the June that they had, it looked as if their season was just over, but like they always do this time of the season, they've caught fire. The trading deadline ends in a week and they've made one move that they really needed to make and that was trading for closer, Bob Wickman from the Indians for minor league catcher, Max Ramirez. It has been said that the Braves will make one more deal before the deadline, so it'll be really interesting to see what transpires. GO BRAVES!!!
That wraps this one up. Later on.
