We're An Interesting Species, Aren't We?

I think "people watching" has been and will always be one of the most popular past times shared by guys and gals of all ages, races, and ethnicity.

Although I haven't found a Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter Page for "People Watching", there are people at this very moment all over the world that are having some coffee, reading the tribune and watching this fascinating world turn. Just taking in the sights and watching the interaction between friends, families, strangers, and luhvahs.

Every now and then it's a very rewarding experience to be part of this human race. I see some great deeds. Others opening doors for others. A person tossing something to the garbage bin as it barely misses, then turning around to pick it up and deliver it to it's original destination.

I meet a lot of new people every single day. Some of these people I will never ever see again... Ever. However, despite my level of knowledge of their past, present, and future nothing is stopping me from introducing myself and asking them about their day so far but me.

It's just an individual challenge for myself.

I suggest you try it as well.

Start small..

Say hello to someone new in the line at McDonalds waiting for your BigMac. In the line at Publix ready to check out. Then move on to a small convo then to a bigger convo.

Granted you'll probably meet those people that won't stop talking; but usually they have the best stories, and are excited to share them with you. Indulge them. Listen to them and in turn they might even ask how your day is going.

Do this with a sense of caution because not everyone out there is a cool cat.

Use your insight and your instinct correctly. Open up your heart and your mind and who knows? You might meet a new person that will add a hint of spice to your life.

Yes there are a lot of bad people out there...

But there are also a lot of awesome people out there as well.

Have faith in people.

And the next time you find yourself in the perfect situation.

Introduce yourself and see what happens next.

Every day I wake up the same question crosses my mind.

We're An Interesting Species, Aren't We?

Once you're hooked, you're hooked.

I can go a few days without it.


Not many; but I can go a few.



and when I say "go" I mean...
...last.


and when I say "last" I mean...
...withstand.


and when I say "............

just playin.

Anyway,

I'm pretty hopeful that by this time into this blog you have construed a mental image of your interpretation of "go, last, or withstand a few day without it."; and perhaps managed to substitute your own idea of what "it" really is.

I have mine.

I'm sure in some way you have yours.

Unless I'm wrong.

Which I don't believe I am. ;)

So...

It only takes a few days without it and suddenly something seems to be screwing up my Chi.

There are times that I am more successful at coping with these issues than others.

It's only noticeable while it's going on.

It took me a while to realize what that disturbingly, unsatisfactory punch in the mouth was that in turn could quickly push me into a pretty unsavory mood.

Especially when I first started.

That feeling would last and last. (the punch in the mouth feeling)

I couldn't wait til the next time and it was almost like everything else was just getting in the way.

And when I was finally able to get it.. it was as if I had waited a lifetime for it and the experience itself... lasted only seconds.

Until the next time. Oh, so far away.

It didn't take me very long to asses the situation and determine that I was addicted.

But once you're hooked...

Bah! Good luck.

Started to get the shakes... It's all I thought about... It's all I wanted...

It's all I needed.

And soon...

It will be mine again.

Mwahahahahahahahaaaaaa!
