Tag and a thing and stuff..


I added a tagboard. I haven't for ages because everyone seemed to have one, and I'm stubourn. I didn't want my diary to be the same as everyone else's. And, it might distract attention away from the guestbook. pft. Now I have one, you must say silly things in it. And you must sign my guestbook. Got that? Yes? You better have done.

I don't have anything interesting to say, really.

Oh, mind you, I know it's not exactly interesting, but S was talking to me the other day.. Yesterday I think. Stupid tosser! ahem. Just as pathetic as ever. He said he had a 'lady friend' coming over later, and she looked like me. I asked why the hell he'd want someone to come over who looked like me. He said 'well you know why i liked you' .. And confirmed that it was because of how I looked. Well thank you! So much. Okay so it could be seen as a compliment, seeing as I don't particularly love how I look, but HOW shallow is that? Makes me proud to be his ex. I used to feel sorry for him, in a way that made me want to help him. And I did, for a while. But he doesn't want to help himself. Now, I feel sorry for him in a very pitying way. He is pathetic! Kat came to the conclusion the me-lookalike was a prostitute. No, not because I look like a prostitute, thank you very much! :P

I miss G.

I will leave you with this, a thing my brother sent me. Or, a thing my brother sent my mother, who sent it to me. la la la.

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous -- yes. The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and proceeded to pour their entire contents into the jar -- effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing/etc. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party etc."

He continued "Take care of the rocks first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers!"
