While driving home from work last night I was lost in thought about some of the people who write some of the blogs that i read. Including........
Billy's. Billy is a mystery to me.
He objectifies women, except maybe for Helen, and he mocks people who believe in God. He's articulate, funny, highly intelligent, and movie star handsome. He's off the hook though...... And just when I think I can't stand his extreme beliefs, and maybe even him, he tells a heart warming story about the dog he loved and then lost, or he leaves a comment on another persons blog showing concern for that person.........and he takes care of Helen the way a son would his mother.....revealing a very caring person capable of more than just anger and hate...........though anger and hate probably aren't the correct words to describe him............................................................so I was lost in thought trying to figure him out. Wondering about all of his life....his past life......wanting to know where he's coming from....what makes him tick....
And then there's Odie.....exact opposite of Billy when it comes to his attitude towards women and religion.................respects women.......and others.........believes without question in God.............caring, sweet, positive, cute.......always there with a kind word.
Some of the time, but not so much now as back when, I used to wonder whether or not he was really all that he presented........"Can a person really be that good" is what I thought. I'd conclude that he must be a pedophile or some sort of online predator. But I stuck around because I intuitively knew, even though I questioned it, that he was the real deal.....and maybe I'd learn something from him..........
And then there's the Professor.
He suffers all the time it seems.
I think he's grown comfortable being miserable and is not willing to move from his comfort zone......................or maybe, just maybe.....he creates all his pain and suffering because without that to talk about, he'd have nothing to say. He'd rather be a suffering soul than an ordinary man.
So yeah.......I was driving down the interstate last night thinking about the blog people, wishing I knew more about Billy, wishing I had Odie's faith, wishing the Professor would be happy already.....when the dark night in front of me lit up. Fireworks right there......beautiful purple, blue, silver lights shooting up to the sky.........it was so pretty, and unexpected....... I smiled and said "yay!"......and then further up the interstate the cops standing with some guy and his truck. I'm thinking he's probably drunk, and setting off fireworks right there on 71.
Thanks drunk guy.
It was a nice show!

Wow...that was some description of me girl. To answer your question, no I don't consider myself good even though some people might get that impression. I have not always been a person with high self esteem but I do get a great amount of enjoyment helping or lifting up others. I am definately not one of those preditors or bad people, just an old guy trying to connect with interesting people around the world, learning from them and sharing the little things that I discover along my journey. That's Odie.
