That was my fortune cookie!!! its still in my pocket
ReplyDeletedoes that mean you keep good fortune in your pants?
ReplyDeleteWell what's in my pants can be good fortune for the right people, but that wasn't quite what I meant. I put it in my wallet and have been too lazy to take it out.
ReplyDeleteHow does a fortune cookie fit in a wallet?
ReplyDeleteWhen I came home tonight, I was reminded of a bill that I needed to pay. So I went to get a stamp out of my check book, and I saw another old fortune that I have been saving for awhile now. It said, "its always the darkest just before dawn." I don't really know why I felt that was important, but I just knew that it was.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever had one of those moments, however long it was, when its kind of like a retrospective awakening? Well I had one of those when I was driving home tonight. I just kind of felt like I was at peace and a lot of loose ends I have had for awhile were tied up. For the past few months, I have had a really wierd schedule in my life. There really hasn't been any consistency, which has only been more influenced by my job situation. Needless to say, there have been many late nights (as the time of my postings would suggest). I seem to find myself laying in bed watching late night music videos and thinking of the past. I just can't help like feeling like I have been in a huge funk, and I have a huge task ahead of me, and my best days of happiness are behind me. Not to say that there can't be happiness in the future, but for whatever reason I can't help but think of past times with friends, and miss all of those who are no longer in Milwaukee (for whatever reasons). Well, for the past month and a half now, the late night music video scene has been pretty much the same 10 or so music videos everynight like clock work. The two that have been stuck in my mind the most have been Coldplay's "Fix You" and Nickelback's "photograph". The Nickelback song is about looking back on past times, and finally having a closure and being able to move on. In the Coldplay song, there is one perticular line that just sticks out in my head. "tears stream, down your face, when you lose something that you cannot replace." I don't know what exactly about that line touched me, but it just did. Its so true, there are just some things in life that there are one of. We take them for granted, but once they are gone, we realize their importance and that they can never be replaced. When I first heard the line, I thought of Smaug. I was pissed that I was careless and had broken it. But I realized that was completely the opposite of what it meant. I didn't cry when I broke it, in fact I barely even blinked. I just thought to my self, 'oh well, that sucks.' I knew it wasn't what really mattered to me, it could be replaced. So I thought of what else it could mean. I thought of things that I only had one of, that meant the world to me, that I could never replace. I instantly thought of my family, my parents in particular. I thought of all that they meant to me, and I thought of what I would mean to lose them. In that same moment, I couldn't help but think of you. You're one of the very few people I know who've lost a parent, and the only one of which I would consider one of my close friends.
Oh my god, this really is too funny. I swear to god, at 4:20am central time, on VH1. They are right now playing the Coldplay video, above mentioned. Anyways, I have had this sort of odd, emptiness and sadness hanging over me for awhile now. Earlier tonight, the Coldplay video and the Nickelback one were on when I was sitting on your couch after the bars(They are always on one after the other). I realized something was odd, because the room had been full of people, yet when the videos started, all of the sudden everyone just sort of dissapppeared. Its one of those moments in life when, as it happens you don't realize it importance because it seems like one of the most insignificant and dull moments ever, but once its over you'll never forget it.
Then I looked at the stamp and thought of my drive home at 4am, then it all of the sudden hit me. It all tied in. Your blog entry about change, the music videos, my life, sittin on your couch tonight, the world. I just felt better, it wasn't any event that happend, it was just a realization.
I want to thank you for being such a good friend Gina. I love you
oh my! it's just amazing when things, events, comments, etc. come at either the most appropriate time or the exact wrong time. It's like you know you were suppose to be here doing this exact thing and you know fate is doing its job. It's these moments of realization that makes life so much more appreciated. Thanks you for vocalizing that.
