"People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character."

Once in a while, something catches my ear...

"It doesn't take a lot to turn a potentially tense situation into a mutually beneficial exchange if you think the best of the person you're dealing with"

Quickie:
The universe is giving you an opportunity to initiate new schemes. Don't pass it up.

I'm a big fan of words and how we use them. Because of this, I pay extra attention to what people say.

So -- are we to watch what we say?
Say how we feel?
Or do our actions speak for us?
Perhaps the focus should not be on action, but rather..reaction.

Okay, so here is round two of this whole attempt at journaling….
Despite my dragging attitude throughout my yesterday, I sure did have a productive day! I got several more brochures completed at work and then after work, I went to my friend’s house and helped her study Math all night. It’s funny how despite being graduated from college for a good while now– I’m still as geeky as ever. I have a gift when it comes to numbers. It’s kinda cool. Maybe I should have been an Accountant? Err—wait. Nevermind. In general, Accountants are said not to have personalities... And well, … I definitely have one!

But yeah, last night was fun. It’s really kewl how around some people things just click. You don’t have to worry about what you say, or what you do – or really anything. It’s like you know it’s 110% safe to put your wall down. That feeling means a lot to me.

And now onto random knowledge … Did you know that a dolphin sleeps with one eye open and uses half of its brain while it sleeps? ..yup. It’s true. Go look it up.
Lets see – what else did I learn last night? Oh yeah! I learned to say Coolinary (that’s right – it’s not culinary). Lol Okay, so I’m a goofball. Leave me be, damnit!

And what’s even cooler than saying coolinary? … it’s me going home with a Nintendo remote controller! You just don’t know how happy that makes me!! Suuuriously!! --My favorite game of all time is Bubble Boggle. It’s on the old-school Nintendo system. Well, when we moved, only one Nintendo controller made it with us. Soo --- I’ve been playing by myself. *cues the violins* So….soooo..sad. BUT now I can make my friends learn the magical awesomeness that is Bubble Boggle and make them play with me! YAY!

Okay, well I think I may start back to the fun that is work now. P.S. My work e-mail is only letting me send out messages – I can’t receive any external e-mails. I let IT know. I really hope it gets fixed soon.

Quickie:
Confusing memories will put a big crimp in your style today, so take things slow.

Well, I would have this really nifty, kewl subject line from a song I was writing on my way to work this morning, but alas -- my journal is in the car. That little journal is one of the neatest presents, ever. I now have an organized means of jotting down ideas as they come to me. Pretty nifty. Thanks, Gavin!!

But anywho's -- I have about twenty minutes left of my work day. For some reason, I just can't seem to wake up and get in that motivated groove today. I went to sleep around midnight last night, so I got a good amount of sleep. Who knows what's up.

Okay, lets see here -- what to ramble on about?
....I was talking to my friend Sarah the other day and we were just chit-chatting about this and that. And the topic of journaling came up. It's been forever and then some since I've actually utilized Livejournal. I don't know if I see it being a regular in my daily activities, but for the moment, it helps me kill twenty minutes.

Speaking of killing, I'm sooo glad my period is over. It was a rough one. My face broke out and I just felt like complete, utter crapola. Not to mention I was all emotional. And that's just not something I'm used to... Which is odd in retrospect. I used to be a very emotional person. I can't help but to wonder if I really still am, and if I'm not just doing that whole "protecting" myself thing by keeping my emotions on the down-low. Eh, who knows.

Okay, well 5 more minutes left. Woo-hoo!!

Let see -- what else do I have to ramble on? The Smashing Pumpkins show is this Friday. I CAN'T wait. I've been pumping myself full of Pumpkins songs for about a week solid now. I really hope they play Drown. I've been jonsing for that song lately.

Okay, well my foot is asleep and I have two minutes to go. Great... lol

Well, my night was going interestingly enough. But the oddest of situations occurred on my drive home. As I was pulling into my neighborhood, I noticed a blond boy with shabby hair standing on the street corner, with his hand propped against the stop sign wearing nothing but a Transformers t-shirt. As I drove by I made a conscious effort to scan the area to locate the boy’s parents. As I drove past, I noticed that this boy, who mind you had to be only 3 years of age, was standing on the street corner, nearly naked by himself. I promptly did a u-turn in the middle of the road and went back to the dimly lit corner where the boy was standing. I asked him what he was doing out so late. He nervously replied with, "I am trying to go the Flea Market". Very concerned, I inquired to where his Mommy and Daddy were. "Mom is at home sleeping", he replied. I knelt down beside him and asked him where home was, but received a very lost look. I dialed 911. It was about 11PM, and the air had gotten cold. I took off my boots and put my socks on the little boy’s feet. I then reached into my trunk and pulled out my favorite purple velvet blanket and wrapped it around him and continued trying to piece the puzzle together. I found out the boys name was Jackson Wister or Lister (not sure which) and that he lived in a white, two story house and his mom's name is Brandy and his Dad's name is Shay, and that Shay works nights. Jackson had told everyone had fallen asleep downstairs and that he got up, UNLOCKED the door and had began his journey to the Flea Market. I looked at Jackson's feet... they were cut up. I asked Jackson if he was hurt. He quietly replied with, "I have a few polk-a-dots" on my feet. At that time, two Officers had arrived and concluded that Jackson did not know how to get home and that they had to take him to Defax where a special trained staff would be able to help Jackson find his family. The Officers and I exchanged information and I went home. The minute I walked back into my car and shut the door, the tears started to come fiercely down my face. I cried. I cried so hard. It broke my heart. I can't imagine how scared Jackson's family must be. If I hadn't stopped, I fear who would have. And how many people drove past Jackson and didn't even care to stop. I pray for Jackson and his family. I hope they are reunited soon.

I have a lyric in my head that spawned from a really good conversation with an incrediable friend this afternoon.

"I can't get no... satisfaction! hey, Hey, HEY!"
