Dear Diary Sunday...

Today was just a day. I did not do a damn thing other than in the last two hours I have been taking my time getting ready to go out to dinner with Dylan and his family for his mom's birthday. Yes, Carol is another year older and I STILL have no idea what her real age is because she looks somewhere in her early forties! Damn, I hope I age as beautifully as that woman has.

Saturday was an alright day. Dylan went with me to the chiro doctor and I am all better, so I don't want to discuss my back anymore. After that, we went shopping, as Dylan is trying to keep up on his Christmas shopping, just like the rest of us. We then met up with Toni and Rob and Chet and Shane for dinner at Red Rock and hung out. The company was nice the food was nice. We then left and headed back to Dylan's where as the evening progressed, I just became more tired and cold and decided it was time to call it an early evening.

Friday, and yes, I know I am doing this backwards, was alright. I left work and Dylan and I went out for some Christmas "looking". We ate dinner, which did not sit well on my stomach, so we called it an early evening. Not very eventful, but sometimes that is how life goes.

I am in a funk this weekend, mood wise. I have had a few things on my brain for the last few weeks that have really been bothering me. Mostly they are just observations that I am seeing in other people and in myself:

1) You should enjoy the fact that people want to be with you, be your friend, and not look at it as "something I have to do" when they want to be with you. Keep up that attitude and nobody will want to be around you.

2) Never ask somebody a question about them if you really don't want to listen. Why waste their time when it is obvious you don't care.

3) Don't pretend to be physically interested in somebody when you are not. It is more insulting when that person finally figures out that you find them repulsive. You could have kept a friendship, at the least of the relationship. Now you have ended up with nothing.

4) When building a friendship up again, just enjoy what is there and quit listening to what other people have to say about it. This "building time" is between you and that person and nobody else's' opinions matter.

5) Why do some individuals find it essential to always make their lives more interesting or more pathetic, just to compete with you? If you are trying to become friends with somebody new, they automatically have to do the same. When your life is in a "fix" theirs suddenly is as well, but only worse.

Ah well. If it weren't for these annoying things, would fun would life be?
