It's All About the Journey
by Have you ever thought about those books, the self-help kind that are always preaching about how the destination really isn't important, it's all about how you get there? I never really thought that made ANY sense before, I mean, if you're going to Disney World, the fun isn't really on the plane (it is a little) but the fun is mostly once you get there!!
But then, the other day at work, (I'm in sales)...I realized that the fun part wasn't when you close a HUGE deal, but rather, the fun is in trying to get the first appointment, trying to make sure you offer what no one else can give the customer, etc.
In friendships and stuff...I think the fun part is, not getting to meet people, but getting to know people better for the whole trip of life, not just for now or next weekend, but making those rare lifelong friends. Cause crap, I chill with different people every weekend almost, there is nothing lasting coming out of that. And next weekend, I'll be chilling with some different people, just because "new is FUN AND EXCITING!". Well, is isn't always. Sometimes, the fun is from taking that journey of getting to know certain people a whole lot better.
And, as a side point, I was having my family study last night, and we were considering the ministry school for this week. The instruction talk is all about finding a capable wife/capable husband...and I asked my parents where all the capable women were hiding...and you know what my dad told me?? He said- "Son, when you are ready to be a capable husband, a capable wife will appear." Now, I'm thinking, holy crap, after all this I gotta believe in ghosts too....ok, joking, but for real, the guy made a good point, right? But hey, who's to say when I'm ready or not? Is there some giant "schedule in the sky" I should be keeping to? Am I behind? Cause I have friends who DEFINITELY aren't old enough to be married, and THEY found someone capable...how did that happen? Were they flukes? Or were they just better K-Mart shoppers?
Anyone out there who thinks they know what I'm talking about....let me know.

Ty, nice reference to "los locos" from Short Circuit. Mad props for that. I like your rhyme even better though, you sound a little tougher, crazier, and meaner.

That just reminded me of something. One time, there was this American guest star on "As Time Goes By" and he was raving about how much he loved English socks. He flew from the City of Angels to London, ..to buy socks.
altho J is probs the only one who'll fit in my case ;)
