EAT UR WHEATIES!!! :)

well i have spent some time surfing thru some other blogs today. i never thought that mine, or ours, was something of great importance. so many ppl discussing so many things. it put into perspective how small we all really r. ironic though is that in my surf i found a blog that had asked a similar, if not the same question, i have asked b4---"what causes ppl to lie?" and while i was contemplating a comment i in turn answered my own question. mainly cause i thought about the reasons i have ever lied---be it when i was a teen tryin to get outta trouble, or holding some info back to protect a loved one, or to the boss to get a day off. but thats neither here nor there. there were so many blogs talkin about politics, philosophy, relationships, newborns struggling to live, funny stories being related to everyday life.............im not goin to recall each ones specifics, but it was amazing to know that so many ppl use this as an online diary of their lives. and it was strangely odd, it made me question what my reason was for mentioning the idea of this to the ratpack. i still havent come up with a "good reason" for doin it. i have kept a journal for several yrs now, for me this is just a different version of it---though im not AS forthcoming with my personal thoughts as i would b if i were writing in my journal in my nightstand. THOSE thoughts r for my own therapy, no one elses. and here i am rambling on and on with no point really but this.........our experiences, family and friends r the sustenance of life and if i couldnt share that then i dont know if i would exist. i would have nothin to ground myself to. my grandma use to tell me to eat my wheaties and play basketball so that i would get taller. hearing this when i was younger threw me for a loop, cause seriously wheaties and basketball have nothin to do with ur height! that and wheaties r disgustingly plain, basketball a bore to me then(and now).........but maybe she meant that i should embrace and enjoy the simple and boring things of life cause thats the sustenance. most of us dont have the frills and foo foo, we go to work, come home, do the chores and have our fam and friends. i cant ask grandma what she meant by that now, shes long been in heaven.......but if eating my wheaties means that i should appreciate the small stuff, gimme a big bowl!
