What an influence friends can have. I am not even sure I would know what blogging is had it not been for them.

Tonight I'm drinking Rolling Rock Green Light. Hence the influence of the web name. Maybe it will get me some where or maybe it's just free advertising for Rolling Rock. They are in Latrobe, Pa you know.

Maybe it has to do with the meanings of life, the deep philosophical crap we go through on a regular basis. We can go through a green light. It makes sense and it's lawful, but aren't there some days that you want to stop and look at what's going on in the intersection. Maybe there's a construction company putting in a new store front, it's a beautiful pasture of dandilions on a warm spring morning. Unfortunately, it's a Mercedes or some model selling something that has distracted us, given our attention to something that most of us cannot obtain or don't want to get. But isn't there something deep down that wants to succeed??

What is it...culture, nature, nurture...maybe we measure success in things instead of intangibles. I respect a man more greatly if he can handle sticky situation well. What about the guy that sticks out a troubled marriage?? Why are we so stuck on buying mine and not your's? Have you even bought into letting your's go and buying someone elses. It's easier. We make it out to seem harder, though, like it's such a bother to help someone out or give someone our time or money. Try it. The times I've helped someone out in the end are easier.

after going through the green light, pull over and help the old lady across the street. buy her's...

Not yours, buy mine?
