Warning, use caution. Whatever. I’m really tired. I really felt like writing though, and I haven’t felt like that in a long while. There’s so much I’d like to say, but I’m not quite sure where to begin.

I’ve just been listening to music for the past couple of hours and it’s just really nice. Like that’s all I want to do. I just feel like it’s so…I don’t know the word. It’s just a nice release. If only. I feel like there’s things like…words…um…. Okay, so I feel like sometimes…a lot, I can really relate to what the words are saying or trying to get across. But of course my experience is going to be just as different as the next guy’s, so nothing is all going to fit together. But it’s cool because sometimes other people have already put into words what I’m still trying to figure out.Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not defending George W. Bush or the war, but the stupidest thing we can do for our safety is leave this mission incomplete. It would disgrace the soldiers that have died, make us look like cowards, and further destabilize an already unstable region of the world.

In other news, the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to win the Super Bowl this evening. Seattle doesn’t have an answer to them because Pittsburgh has abandoned their power running game for passing recently with Big Ben, putting up fantastic numbers, and so when Seattle tries to play the pass, Pittsburgh, defying the critics, will go back to the run and dance all over Seattle’s asses. I see at least a 7 point margin of victory going the Steeler’s way. Go Bus!society

I’m an uncle and I’ve seen the first pictures and my niece is soooo cute! I can’t wait to go home and see her in person. Her name is Jordyn and she was 8 pounds, 2 ounces, a very healthy baby. I love my sister because she has been like a second mother, always there for advice and support. I am happy for her and proud of her.
Talked to a budd today about the new RBC Tower. He is in the “lucky pre reserved group” and excited. He has a 1 bedroom that seems like a great deal.

Downside, he has to keep it a year and the price promised can go up 5% before close. Or come down (right). With Raleigh appreciation, and downtown appreciation, he should make out like a smart real estate investor. Or it maybe his primary. Lots of folks with reservations not sure what to do.

His question was about loans, and the loan on that should not be hard. But I have heard that some lenders are having issues in dealing with the fact that the land is commercial underneath these towering residential condos.
I really wish that…the TV wasn’t on right now. Robin in reading this book right now, and she told me about this one section. It’s this elderly woman, a grandmother now, and she says that she is sorry that we only have one life to live. That if she had a chance to live her life again, she would do so many things differently. I guess I’ve always been really happy with the fact that I have always said the opposite and that if I had a chance that I would do everything exactly the same. Because I feel like it’s all a part of growing up and it’s the experiences that we go through that make us into who we are. But I do respect what she says, and I could see that maybe when I’m 80 or 90 that I might feel the same way, which i think would not be very satifying and I would really regret things then, but I can understand wanting to do what we wish we could have done. But another thing is that she talks about how she would just be completely open and honest with everything and everyone in her life. Always. And things, I think, would be so much simplier if we did do that. Instead of playing games and presuming things or taking guesses or whatever, we could just be open and honest and that way there’d be no question in anyone’s mind of anyone’s motives or anything. And that would maybe give us all more time to actually appreciate each other and the precious time we have to spend with each other. The time we have is just so very special and important, and i don’t want to waste a second of it second-guessing. But I do feel like I’ve been doing that recently, whether it’s because I’ve been forced to or not is at question, but I guess that’s beside the point. I just don’t like it. I want…love. Just love. To everybody.
