Yes, I’ve kind of run out of things to say and I will defend myself in saying that it’s mostly due to my involvement in Entrecard, school, and RN. Okay, not so much RN (a friend who lives downstairs), but still. Well, my excuse for the last two days is that I had work. I’ve been on my feet for hours and I’m just tired by the end of it. I’ll get used to it soon within the next few days, but it will take a while.
Do I have some striking thought at the moment? Not really. I’m just tired and I want to take a bath, except I’ve yet to clean the tub, so no bath until that’s done, which probably won’t be at the earliest, this weekend.
This is pretty random, I know, but since I’m doing the whole Blog365 thing, I have to blog about something, right?
I’m going to hate these filler posts. I feel as if I’m not really publishing my best thoughts out there you know? Okay, well, my best thoughts are the ones that end up on the front page, but this isn’t even half of a “best” thought. It’s a lame attempt to make the midnight deadline that is soon approaching.
Okay, tomorrow. I will post something a little more interesting. I promise. Scout’s Honor… not that I’m a Scout or anything… but you get the idea.
I apologize for the lack of updating lately. School started on Tuesday and by the end of the day, I was swamped. I still have a load to finish so we’ll see how often I update in the next couple weeks. Coming back to Berkeley is fun and exciting, but it’s also waking me up again since now I’ve so much more to do. I thought the first slap from Fall 2005 was rough… I think this is just as tough or tougher.
Anyway, there’s not too much to update besides school work I suppose. I’m really happy with everything right now and especially happy with my relationship to Stockton Boy. Things are… I don’t know how to describe it. Of course, things are always going to be different because who wants to be in a relationship that’s the same as something else, right? But things are… I don’t know. I think the main thing is that we try our best not to hide things from each other, or I try to at least. The best thing is that I completely trust him. It’s been hard lately for me to do that and it took quite some time for me to be able to say this for Stockton Boy. Either way, I’m happy. Life is pretty again. 
Now here’s the philosophical point: Why is it that in order for many people to appreciate what they have is when they’ve gone through something horrible? Why do people need that contrast to be able to say that one is better than the other? Does the world really need that comparison? In all honesty, people do. Most go through life knowing that they are blessed, but few truly appreciate all of it.
Say for example you’re eating a mango that’s completely unripe and sour. It’s a bad mango, right? Later on you have another mango that is sweeter and juicier. You appreciate that mango a lot more than you would have had you not had the bad mango. Okay, so switch it around. Let’s say you each the juicy mango first. You understand that you had a good mango, but you don’t truly savor each moment. Then you have another mango just to find out it’s terrible. Now you know that the first had been a really good mango.
Does that make sense?
Anyway, my point is that people are so wrapped up in other things that until something goes bad, then do they really start feeling more appreciative of what’s around them. True there are those who are truly grateful only from observing the misfortunes of others, but for the majority, that’s how many live.
It’s just a good thing to wonder sometimes though when you’ve gone through something bad and somebody good comes along. If that good somebody had come first, would you have had the same level of appreciation for that person? Or would you have known that that person was a good person, but without the comparison of a bad person, you couldn’t truly be grateful for the good person.
