(no subject)
Hi everybody...I know how much you all have missed me...It has been quite some time since my last post. I suppose the topic can be....hmmm....things come and things go, and isn't it just our luck, we can remember it all...how's that?
No caps, or any sign of stopping...just like life.
So, today I finally got around to watching "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind". I had been wanting to see it since the first commercial on TV. It just seemed the timing and the people were never right. Anyhow...many times I had wondered what it would be like to just forget a person and a relationship...because of all the pain that it caused, but after seeing this movie I had a mini revelation...
With pain and strife there is love and joy...that much I already knew...but when faced with the question of the possibility of being able to give up the pain at the price of the joy...that is quite a conundrum...well, maybe for some...like the characters in this movie...my revelation however, was that even though there is great strife and pain...that once held memories of happiness far out weigh and in some cases even propel one through "hard times". It made me very grateful for my many experiences... all of them, both the good and the bad.
So, on to other highlights of the last long while...
I am a college graduate and to top that I have a job in my field...not so well on the paying part, but enough to get by...yippie...I have left the homestead of my parents...and it tickles me pink that I no longer have to worry about that mumbo jumbo...I am quietly trying to settle into my new role as working adult...it is an odd adjustment, but at least I don't have to be too grown up working with preschoolers...I am saving for a car...so that I may travel to see people...being that my car...is...no spring chicken...this weekend was "trick or treating" I got all dressed up...I had to, after all it is my favorite holiday...but very few kiddies or ghouls came...so it looks like it will be Halloween candy until Easter...I guess I didn't do too badly...and I suppose I am done for now... ;)
