Wishing in vain

June 22, 2009 - Monday

Wishing in vain I have regrets, and things I wish ahd gone differently, but now in my life, I wish more to no be afraid. To get over the fear I might have in confrontation or trying something new. And, I really wish for everyone, that people could live without fear. Let go, really be free of all the little things in a day that make up the fears we percieve as large important things in life. Life really is what we make it, and sadly many people go though without stopping to breathe, or live really. So many fears, of rejection and pain, that most everyone has. So why do people wrap themselves up in their fear? Wouldn't it feel better to let it fall away? I miss people who aren't afraid. I miss that enthusiasm, excitement, the dreamers. The optimists. I feel like they are growing up into pessimists, pragmatists. The world needs both, but who's to say that we can't have a balance within ourselves? It's sad, really, to see people change into someone who has become afraid, and lost something within themselves.

I love this

Smart girl: Obviously 'irregardless' is the wrong word in the sentence.
Dumb girl: Why is that word wrong?
Smart girl: For starters, it's not even a real word.
Dumb girl: Sure it is -- I use it all the time.

So, I really had to post this, I snort-laughed out loud when I read it. From overheard everywhere:

Woman to male friend: I am trying to figure out how long 14 minutes and 6 minutes is in total.
Male friend: 20 minutes.
Woman: Regular math and time math are the same?

arrogance

Hmmm, what to write today.....

Let's see.
I have decided I am a bit arrogant. But I have always known this really. I guess what brought this on recently, is my tendency to think I am interesting. I don't think everyone is interesting. Really I think not everyone is interesting to everyone. Convoluted enough? I am always fascinated by the more introverted, shy, mysterious folk. Maybe they aren't those things really, but how they seem to me. Certainly this doesn't mean I throw myself into this category. I just always enjoy figuring things out, especially people, how they work, why they choose certain things above others.
I go about my day, and see lots of people who look interesting to me. I just think people have so much baggage, and so many trust issues, that they are afraid to open up. Staying reclusive and quiet is easier as a self-preservation tatic. Just a few thoughts anyway.


Since this is a arrogance piece, I should mention the line jumper from the other day.
I was in line at the bookstore, standing next to the sign that reads: "PLEASE WAIT HERE FOR THE NEXT CASHIER"
I was next in line, two cashiers ringing, not a long wait obviously. This woman walks up, looks at me, smiles even, walks past me and THE SIGN, to wait for a cashier in front of me.
I kind of had this funny, what-did-she-just-do look on my face.
Then as the cashier opens up she turns to me and says
"oh, you didn't mean to go ahead of me, did you?"
Um, what? Do you know what a line is?
The other cashier was freeing up, so it wasn't a time issue really, so I just said
"whatever."
Who does that?
