You people are going to hate my guts for the rest of your lives. I am going to make you sorry that you ever came here.]

8. Serenity- Mal [
8.Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave.]

12. Red Dawn- The Colonel [
12.You think you're tough for eating beans every day? There's half a million scarecrows in Denver who'd give anything for one mouthful of what you got.

13. Robin Hood Prince of Thieves- The Sheriff of Nottingham [13.What a beautiful child. So young, so alive, so unaware of how precarious life can be. I had a very sad childhood, I'll tell you about it sometime. I never knew my parents; it's amazing I'm sane]

14. 27 Dresses- Casey [14.He asks if you want a drink. You smile and say, 'Vodka soda.' If you already have a drink, you down it. Then there's some flirting, some interoffice sex, an accidental pregnancy, a shot gun wedding, and a life of bliss. How many times do we have to go over this?]

15. Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey- Chance [15.Okay, okay, I'll talk! I left a gift on the carpet. I let Sassy take the rap for when I unrolled the toilet paper all over the house. I stole underwear on three occasions.]

The People you meet...

So it's Saturday. And I'm at work. All day. Lame. Or maybe not...

About two hours ago this guy came in, quiet, in a USMC flight jacket. He bought a model. And asked about the good places to eat. While I was getting him restaurant information, we talked about the Corp. He's been retired since 1994. He flies with a private company now, and is one of the guys transporting Bill Engvall around this tour.

While we were chatting, one of my regular gamer groups came in, and all of us had a lively discussion about game. Turns out the Sgt. used to play in high school. The conversation lasted about an hour, and it was patched with humor, wit, and violence. All the things a good game needs. After the group left, the Sgt hung around for awhile, and we discussed politics and the state of the world for awhile. Then he asked for an address to the store, and my name. Turns out, he has a set of early edition D&D books in close to mint condition. He said he had been looking for awhile for someone to give them to, but he hadn't found anyone that would not only appreciate them, but use them well, and that he felt deserved the gift. But he decided after hanging out for two hours or so, that he would send them to me. Cool huh.

Another guy that comes in here all the time, told me yesterday that his son was coming in town for Christmas. He said he would like to see his boy meet a nice girl, and that he would bring him by. So I asked what his son did, turns out, he's in SlipKnot. Yeah. Who knew?

It's amazing the kind of people we are around everyday. You never know what they do, or who they are. And when you cross paths with someone, you may have just brushed by greatness. It makes me wonder who all I've missed out on.

From Coffee to Kissing in the Street

So, I went to Hannibal today. To Java Jive to be exact. To hang out with Will. When I left this morning, I had the feeling that today's meeting would be the make or break kind. The kind that decides the direction of a relationship. Will it be romantic, friendly, professional, or abrasive? I think I was right. Since I came back to town after two hours of fantastic conversation, and an amazing kiss in the middle of the street. Only to be discussing a couple of hours later that we would both like to be seeing a lot of each other regularly. Exclusively. So I went from single, and not-quite-loving it. To in a relationship, all in the span of a few hours. Sealed the deal with a kiss. One of those, where you leave without touching and he stops you in the street ones. The kind that happen in movies. Yeah, one of those. Guess who's smiling? :)

I don't know

So, I have a concussion. A moderate one. It's thrown off my sense of balance. So now, I am just as off-balance physically as I am mentally and emotionally. Hooray for the Irony of it all.

It's funny how I keep discovering things about myself. Like choosing a career path. A grown up one. I never thought that would happen. Ever. But sometimes apathy is the greatest motivator. I am today, just that. Apathetic. Thoughtful. Motivated. Well, not-quite. I don't even know.

I find myself face to face with my thoughts, my thoughts that no matter what I do to distract myself, who I find to distract me, keep circling around him. Even when he says things that hurt me, it's funny because it's not an abusive kind of hurt, it's more like acceptance. There are no secrets there, no qualms about what we want, just the facts of the situation. I know I need to let go. I keep trying. But he's always there in the back of my mind, well, more like the middle of mind, dead center, to be exact. I know there is no point in running it over and over in my head, about going through things and thinking about how different it could be. I need to let go. I have to let go. I have to trust that if it's right, it will happen in it's own time. I'm just so afraid that if I bow out, it will be the final curtain call. And I will lose.

And then there is always the possibility that loosing will help me win. I wish I understood this empty space I have. This constant ache. It's so foreign to me. So strange to need someone. I've always been content in myself. But not lately, no lately I find myself falling into a hole that has formed inside myself. I wonder then if that hole is because I've gone so far from God. But I'm a skeptic see. Even though I've witnessed miracles, been around for life-changing moments. I've felt the peace of God, but I still can't quite reconcile the idea that this physical ache I have can be fulfilled by spiritual stability. I really need to talk to someone about this. But I don't know who to try to communicate it to. Or at all. I don't know.

People seem to miss me. I suppose I have been gone in a way for awhile. More like around. I've been avoiding people. I do that when I get like this. It's nothing personal. It's just part of my make-up I suppose.

Election Day

That would be today. So go vote. Not because I said to, or because it's the "cool" thing to do. Vote because its your future. Because it matters, and every vote counts, gets counted, and one vote could make all the difference in which way your state goes. It may not seem like it, but it's true.

I usually opt to leave Politics out of my blogs/myspace/facebook. But today is the day I made my voice heard. I voted McCain/Palin. I believe that they have the right plan to stabilize this country long term, even though it will mean a hellish first few years. The fruits of what they have laid out could save this country from the economic crisis we face, without turning us into socialists. But make up your own mind, and then vote. VOTE.VOTE.VOTE.
