the harder you look for something the harder it is to find it. at least in many situations this is true. when i am not looking for my friends, they are always there for me. when i am not looking for anything, i have everything. when you are looking too hard it’s easy to forget that you already have so much.
the other thing that has been bothering me lately is people taking on responsibility and not following through. so many people i know do this it’s stupid. if you say you want to do it, you’d better do it. i think it all boils down to saying what you mean and meaning what you say.
i remember doc saying this a lot. or at least, i think it was him that said it. i think he wanted us to be precise when we did proofs on the board. he also had us use “spoze” in lieu of “let” or “suppose.” but i think the main point is that you cannot break your promises, and should do your best at everything you say you will do.
sometimes i feel bad for some of the people that i went to high school who still are in oklahoma, because they didn’t get to see the world. i wonder how many of them were just hooked by the scholarship money. i hope they are trying to get away, because oklahoma may be a good home but not the only place on the planet. actually, i think this is true for any place on the planet besides oklahoma.
al was unhappy because we left a mess in the country kitchen. he’s a really nice guy. damn me.
