Reflecting at 1:11am

So I was watching this trailer. It is 2:11 long, and in that time frame, so many thoughts ran through my mind...I thought I'd do some sharing....

1. Michael Caine = old man = remembering Grandpa
Lately, my brother and I have been talking about Grandpa and how much we miss him. Every thought of him takes me back to the day he passed away. I should visit him soon. Love you and miss you Grandpa.

2. Headphones.
I love my headphones. It is an important part of me because it zones out the noise of the world and zones in my love for music. I can zone out the crazy guy sitting next to me who is talking to himself zone in on some NKOTB, Chicago or Kanye.

3. Apprentice.
I believe in role models and mentors and the positive effect they can have on people who look up to them. I believe because I have role models. I have mentors. Now look at me. It is such an accomplishment to know that you've affected someone in a positive way and hope they will do the same thing to someone else. I hope I am a role model or mentor to some other soul out there. I hope I've changed their lives somehow....

4. Old people = story time
I've always admired the elderly and their ability to tell a good story about the life they've lived and experienced. You can learn so much from them. And the best part of it is catching that twinkle in their eye while telling it. I cant wait to tell my story one day....

5. "Make contact with the living"
I'm very unsociable at times. I could stay safely in my corner at a party where I dont know anyone and not even try to mingle. I've been given so many opportunities to meet new people, make new friends, gain a new lifestyle. But I'm open to those ideas. Not when I have to go out and chase for more friends just so I can "meet" knew people that I probably dont have anything in common with....maybe with the occaisonal guy to whom I can get into a deep conversation about about "Watchmen." But it will go beyond....one night conversation as opposed to a one night stand. Ha. Ha. Ha.
