today there was a man begging on the side of the road as i was going to work. His sign said "My wife i sick and needs medication, neither of us drink. It was pouring down rain. He was in his late 40's-50's and had a fair amount of crow's feet wrinkles and looked like he had worked hard all his life.
at first i thought that i didnt want to hand over my quarters because i was going to use to it buy a luna bar at lunch. but after reading it, i had to give him the change i had/could get to.
i hope he makes enough to get his wife's medication.
i found that i had tears in my eyes over knowing that sometimes it really is just that rough. and it was for him that day, to be standing out in the rain. i sure wouldnt stand out in the rain to beg for money. not unless i really really had to.
with so many americans that dont even have healthcare, myself included. i have to be at my job three months before i can even apply, and i'm damned lucky they even carry it. for all the people with smaller companies, or that can only find part time work. life sure is a bitch isnt it. thank you george w. bush for doing shit about that. and thank you for the fact that the economy is shit, so he probably couldnt even find a part time job. Some people are fortunate enough to have friends and family that can help. I was one of those lucky ones. other people aren't so fortunate.
There are alot of bums that i wont give money to because they just need a kick in the ass. then some are crazy and i wonder if i should help them out. for the ones I KNOW need it, i'm going to give them the $0.75 in my pocket. If I was economically smart, i wouldnt do it. (because i'm not rich either) but sometimes that's just not the most important thing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
i kind of wish there was someone that i could miss. even if it was the heartbreak after 5 years with someone that just wasnt going to work out. at least i would miss them, and they would miss me. keeping yourself at a distance has its priveleges, but it also has its lonely moments.

Thanks for the continued assistance with posting pictures. You're a doll.
It gets me off knowing I am pleasing a girl so deeply and intimately, and of course the sight , taste and smell......wait a second......that is an old journal posting isn't it?
Forget what I said......no....... don't forget it 'cause I mean what I say about my love for eating pussy, it just doesn't belong with this entry. Maybe in a few days I'll comment on this one....
