Yeah, it is. I ran another 5K today. It's getting much easier now, even though I am a goner! Goner means old guy in myspeak. Myspeak is how I talk. Remember the novel, 1984 and the word 'newspeak'? Well now newspeak is chatspeak. Gonna, your instead or you're, brb, lol, and all of that. I guess at some point these words will make their way into the Oxford dictionary but for now, try to speak in oldspeak!
What's up with me? Just settled a long time argument with a very close friend, ok, a girlfriend. Jealousy reared it's ugly head too many times. Just listened to Sting on a VH!Classic special. Some pretty good songs on it.
You know, with 3 or 6 billion people on earth, it sure seems like a lonely place for some people. I know some folks who are surrounded by money and luxury but are so lonely. I know people who are poor and have almost nothing but they are rich with friends and the comfort that friends provide. So money is nice and cool to have but give me a friend I can call when I am low and, dammit, I would value that much more.
Someone said, I've been rich and I've been poor. Rich is better. Well, the only way someone is rich is if they have lots of true friends.
I am lucky enough to have some very good and close friends. Ebaby has allowed me to meet some incredible people, and to rebuild and rework some relationships that I already had. Sometimes friends get in the way of relationships but we need both, right?
Long blog, more later. Feel free to comment, ask questions or booooo me. It's all good, ok?
