Great post, €uroMeinke, and warmest wishes to your mom.

Why do the stories of our parents always seem so amazing and exotic? By the time my Dad was my age he'd traveled all through Europe on a motorcycle, staying in various countries for brief periods. I mean, he lived in Greece for a while, working at a restaurant, drinking with Greeks and smashing dishes while dancing.

Just what the hell am I going to tell my kids??

At 36 I find myself pondering, am I really 36? I don't act like other 36 yr olds I know...but then just how am I supposed to act. I don't feel like a mom either. I know that I am, but yet, I don't feel like it. Even when I have a houseful of other people's kids I don't feel at all momish. They flock to my house, to play, to talk, to be kids and be noticed. I enjoy doing all of those things. They are good kids. Do their parents not do that for them? Am I filling a void for these seekers of guidance? Am I up for that task? Why do I feel guilty for turning 2 of these creatures away in the rain?

My mom is now 67. I do not see her as old. She has lived a long, and not always good life. Her stories of her youth make me realize she never had a childhood. I have her to thank for most of my views on life. As she has gotten older I have watched her outlooks change and become more narrow. It is scarry. Will I become bitter in my old age?

Auda, beautiful writings as usual! Can I lick Sawyer with you?

We can have a Sawyer lick fest. Perhaps they should create a Sawyer pop. How many licks does it.....

Which one is Sawyer? (I've seen 45 minutes of one show last week and I saw no more).

UvaGirl · 02-17-2005, 06:42 PM

He kind of looks like Viggo Mortenson....

Not Afraid · 02-17-2005, 06:55 PM

Is he the blond drug addict with the short nose?

No that's the Hobbit (Dominic Monaghan). Sawyer's the kind of rebellious, tough guy one.
