Not Fishing.

Thanks for all of the kind words everybody. I wasn't fishing for nice comments, but thank you all the same. I guess I just felt like I am never with the people that are closest to me, and for you all it is one guy that is not there, but for me it is everybody who isn't here. On the up side, I am about to go pick up Suzi from the train station in about an hour. She just called me the other day to see if she could visit. So I will have her here for a while, and then two other girls are coming to stay with me on the 19th, so I won't be alone that much for a while. In my last blog I talked about how I am like my dad, but I also want to mention that I am a lot like my mom (on a side not: alot and everyone should be words). She moved a lot as a kid and taught us that you have to be your own best friend and that you have to make sure that you are happy, not to rely on others to do it for you. I think that it is a really healthy outlook. It doesn't mean that you should keep people from making you happy, but you have to know that in the end it is something that you have to work at yourself. I think that I got really good at it. I am the champ of doing nothing. I can entertain myself for a long time, and I am just afraid that I am becoming my own best friend for good. That can't be good. So maybe I should do what my mom has done to keep that from happening. She has a pretty close circle of friends: some women from work, a neighbor, an aunt of mine, in the last few years my sister, and a handful of others. They have been there for each other through so much. So, since I have to wrap this up, I send this rock'n blog entry out to mine and my mom's friends!
