Missing The Concerned

23 06 2008

Saturday evening I was talking to a good friend of mine, Linda -  Shes been a second mother to me for a long time.  I was telling her I was talking to a friend of mine who’s a firefighter about going into firefighting.  Instantly she was concerned for my safety - to the point we spent a good five minutes conversing about her concerns.

I have been thinking about this since that moment - it’s been quite a while that I felt that someone showed concern for my safety that felt genuine.  I miss it.  Linda is going to going to China in about 40 days for the rest of her life and I’m really going to miss her.



I Hate Cigarettes

18 06 2008

So a friend of mine was having issues with his room-mate and I let him stay the night.  Hes a smoker and he smokes out on my porch with the door shut, but my house smells like awful damn cigarette smoke now and it makes me want to puke.

In Michigan smoking is going to be banned from public restaurants and stuff and people are complaining about there right to smoke…. what about my right to breathe?



Fathers Day Weekend

17 06 2008

Well I went to my grandfathers for fathers day weekend.  I had a good time talking with my uncle and hanging out with my grandma.  I made a slide show from the Pictures I took at my Grandma’s Celebration of life.  There’s about 208 pictures there, I’m still working on a way to get it so you can order prints, but I’m close to done on that.  My grandpa believes that photography is my true calling - but I think he was trying to make me feel good.

I have to say though that I am never traveling with my mom again, I took a shower when I got back and I still smelled like a smoker. 5 in an hour and a half is a bit much for me to handle - plus her hatred of seat belts freaks me out.
