So I was on facebook the other day and one of my friends posted a question: If you e-mail someone, and you know they read it, and they do not e-mail you back what does that mean ?
She received serveral responces all pretty much telling her the same thing. Things like: that person sucks, their rude, not worth your time, stop e-mailing that person, ect…
So then about an hour later I talked with someone that does that exact same thing. This person gets beautifully written e-mails, and while this person, (in that person’s defense), has never said “e-mail me”, I do.
Now this person said there is no etiquette for e-mails. I think that there is. Receiving an e-mail especailly if it is personal is like receiving a letter. So you should write back. You should acknowledge that this person made contact.
People are so busy, and so wrapped up in things that do not matter. What matters are the people. Our lives are so privledged by many standards yet basic communication, gratitude, love and affection is so difficult for many. People should stop and realize what truly matters. I think they would be surprised if they asked themselves that question, what the answer is.
I know who and what matters, and that has made all the difference.
Peace and love to all who enter here.

I am not sure when is the last time I posted anything. Jen and I have been very busy. February was full of b-days, work days, and just life.
Xochitl turned 8, my father turned 77 Joel turned 47, and Danny turned 17. Happy birthday again to all of you. All four birthdays had parties and time spent with family.
Valentines day was a great day. Jenn and I gave a $20 limit to eachother this year. She got me a nice journal, organic dark chocolate and almond bar, and two favorite magazines I enjoy to read weekly. I gave her gloves I knit myself, lavendar bath oil I made myself, earrings, and a movie night of her choice. I rented a DVD she wanted to see, made her a tub of popcorn, and got small bags of her favorite candy. It was a nice night we also tried our new fondu set. I also came to the realization that I do not like chocolate on strawberries.
This past month I went to see The Reader, The Wrestler, then with Jenn we saw Curious Case of Benjamin Button. All three movies were great, but I still think Slum Dog Milliionare was the best movie so far I have seen this year.
Work still is shit. Still hate my job. Still pat myself on the back when I leave work and have not ripped anyone’s face off. Still have to get up in the dark 5AM !!! Still hate it. It’s still cold and I want to go somewhere warm, and maybe stay there.
This past weekend Jen and I went to an RV show. We walked around and looked at all the beauty they have. Everything you need to live in at your finger tips. We stepped into a couple. We imagined what it would be like to sell the house or rent it, buy an RV, and just travel. When we need money we stop and find work, then keep moving. What a perfect life that would be. I know as long as I had Jenn by my side I would be happy. This is something I am sure we will bring up again and look into the possibilities.
The past couple of days Jen and I have been fighting off a cold. we are trying everything in our power not to get sick, but I think my I am losing my battle, Jen is holding her own.
All in all life at 284 Main is great . Peace and love all who enter here.

I really hate my job, while the job itself is not that hard, working with certain people sucks. One would think that I would love it, given the fact I have the hours I want, and can take off whenever I want. The people there can be really mean, dumb, and pretty much all of them are very unhappy. It can be a downer. At times I feel myself getting sucked into the bullshit, and when I am not sucked into the bullshit, people think that I am the one with an attitude because I am just trying to do my job and get the hell out of there.
On top not really likeing my job people just seem more and more bitter, and meaner. I was shopping yesturday for a gift and there was this lady swearing (outloud) about a elderly women who wasn’t moving fast enough. People just seem to be rotten. It is a tough situation for me to be in because I already have the tendincy to be a hermit in the winter months, and with people acing like they do I really just want to shut myself off from the world.
And while I know everyone; (when and if they pay attention to the way people are acting in society now a days ), can get a bit down too. It just sucks that it has to be this way. I don’t think it will get better either. Why would it it seems as though no one is interested in being a decent human being.
What is wrong with people that they have to be jerks. I just don’t get it and probably never will. Can we live on Mars yet ???
