The Realization

So where have I been for a month!? I’ve put my nose to the ground and got myself a full time job! The past couple of weeks have been quite the experience.

The olympics rolled into town since I last posted. And, you know what .. I’ve pretty much missed all of it cuz of work. I never got to go downtown. I never got to meet anyone famous. I just worked. Anyways now that I got that out of the way. I wanted to touch on something that happened to me last night!

Meeting new people is easy for me, but becoming my friend is not. I think I expect too much of people. Being my friend means, me and you would have to connect at a deeper level. I say this because that is exactly what i realized last night. Friends to me are people who you can go to and have a real conversation. People you hang out with just to get drunk are drinking buddies … not friends.

I don’t know if I want to hang out with those types of people anymore. They kind of bore me. I like people who have substance to them. I like people who can think for themselves. I want to do something other than drink every weekend.

I need and want something more than .. what I saw last night.

A Very Serious Question

Posted: Friday, January 29, 2010 by theMark in Labels:

  So I was asked a very interesting question today. “If you had to choose either lose two friends and gain a potential wife, or keep two friend and lose a potential wife”. Although this situation was not about me, a friend of mine actually has to choose one of these options.

What really bothers me is how easy it is to lose friends. If your friend asked you to do the same, would you? And, if they do ask this of you, can you really call them friends!? This situation has the potential to create a rift in my friendships. But, I’ve pretty much made up my mind to back up my friend who is considering these choices while at the same time being neutral. In my opinion if you can easily throw your friendships away because of a difference in opinion (without being able to talk about it first) it shows that they don’t have respect for your choices.

Anyways, aside from that things are pretty good. I’m still looking for that job and I’m looking to get back in school this summer. Hopefully this is the year I get back into the groove. I’m starting to get sick of this rut I’ve been in. It’s been really hard to motivate myself to do something productive. I’ve started to work out regularly, so I guess that’s a start.

I’ve also started to realize, I have to take more pictures. Life is passing by so quickly that I need to keep something from each passing moment. So I’ve decided to start adding photos on these blogs. 

It’s Time to Change Things Up!!!
