I am an unpredictable trajectory...

Man, I'm gettin sleepy...what better way to keep busy than to blog, he he he.
It's birthday extravaganza week man...so Happy post birfdays to Arleen and Roselle(Nov 8), to Cic(Nov 9), and to Iya..today. Man, that's a lot of birfdays. Anyway, we went to Crabpot for Cic's b-day dinner last night. Well, THEY went, and I followed after my playoff game. Good food there, haven't been there in a long time. And of course we had good company, as we always do when in the midst of friends. I rode w/ Rob after the game and she came w/ the roomie and roomie's bf, and we got stuck w/o a ride back home. So Iya gratiously dropped us off, and the ride home was quite entertaining. Thanks Iya and Anna for the amusement, ha ha ha. So I hope you had a good b-day beebs and Vegas, here we come!

I'm finally getting around to taking care of myself, healthwise. I've started to eat a little better, been exercising(basketball, but I wanna get back into the gym and running routine as well), and I have an eye appt on friday and a dental appt on wednesday next week. All before I head out to the PI...man, it's been pretty busy...but at least I'm gettin on top of the ball.

I read an interesting passage from this book I'm recently read, Xenocide. about people and maturity. It was saying that we are all children and even when we think we're adults and when we are supposed to be at the age when we are "responsible," we are actually just children who learned vocabulary and we just use complicated words to make ourselves sound more mature. I'm guilty of this, I always try to use sophisticated words to make myself seem intelligent...when in all actuality, I'm just a simple mind trying to make a simple expression. I guess I always want to sound smarter and more mature than I really am. Now I'm not saying that other people who utilize extensive vocabulary are not mature, nor are they simple-minded. I know a lot of people who really are intelligent and who are quite mature, and because of this gift they have for words, they can express it so artistically. It's pretty impressive. I don't really know where I'm going with this, nowhere in particular to be honest. It just popped into my head. I guess it just seems to be that we often toe the line, sometimes being very mature and speaking out ideas that move and inspire those we are in contact with..and at other times, we can be so incredibly naive and childish and make situations worse by convoluting and complicating things with words. There's a lot of truth in the saying that if you have nothing good to say, then don't say anything at all.

A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can finish tying its shoes."
-Mark Twain
