Time Marches On...

Not in a particularly talkative mood, but several things have happened and I thought I would share. Not that they need to be numbered, but I will bullet them to keep my chain of thought focused.
  • Leaving work yesterday I noticed a elderly lady pushing a shopping cart. I could tell that it was very painful for her to walk, just by the steps she was taking. I had a sudden rush of sympathy for her as I drove by and immediately felt guilty for not stopping. I circled the block and came back and talked to her. I asked her if she would like a ride home, and a little help with her bags, and I saw from the look in her eyes that she was thankful that someone offered. She declined and said she was almost home. I thought about that for several hours afterwards. The lady reminded me so much of my grandmother, and I missed her just seeing this little old lady pushing the cart. So many thoughts flood my head just thinking back. I also wondered if I was being selfish by going back, knowing it may just be so I wouldn't feel guilty and not truly doing someone else a good deed. Well, at any rate, I do feel better for offering, and I hope I lifted the little old ladies spirits enough to make it the next block or two to her house...
  • “A friend is someone who, upon seeing another friend in immense pain, would rather be the one experiencing the pain than to have to watch their friend suffer.” - Unknown
  • I want to go camping. It sounds dumb, and its not the time of year you do things like that, but it just struck me tonight that I haven't done it in a while, and I would like to.
  • I am now 44, almost 45. I had an eye check-up today and am now going to get a "progressive" pair of glasses. It seems that I am having problems reading small type very close, and my job requires that. It makes me wonder about life and the aging process when anything like this happens. I am told that I am still young, by my parents and other adults in their 60's and 70's. I wonder if I will look back and think, damn I should have done this or that. I'm sure I will if I am fortunate enough to live another 20 years, wish me luck.
  • Ive read that my leopard gecko may be able to love 10-15 years. Shit, I guess I need to modify my will!
  • Why don't you try getting jacked off under the table in front of the whole damn family and have some real problems, jackass. Hey, what were they like anyway? They looked pretty good, are they real? Are they built for speed or comfort? What'd you do with them? Motorboat? You play the motorboat? - You motorboatin son of a bitch!
  • I think Dita Von Tease is HOT (without the Manson escort)! I also think Wifey of Wifey's World is pretty damn hot too. For my birthday a subscription to this site would be nice!

Goodnight!
