Ten Year Reunion??

Howdy all,
I'm feeling alot better today, thanks for asking. So has anyone tried the site classmates.com? Just got a letter from a friend I haven't heard from in many years. She told how well she was doing, getting ready for her new baby. But she asked me if I had heard anything about our ten year class reunion. Ummmm no. Then I realized that the only person I've kept in contact with at all since high school, owns an awesome resturant that I frequent for breakfast. And I ran into him at the resturant just a few years ago... So here's me, aparment renting living just better than week to week. And the few people that I know from my school days are married and or running their own successful business's. Makes me wonder, where or if, I went wrong. Must have been the grass. I heard Chris Rock make fun of people who take pride in doing the right thing. People who say things like "well I didn't steal that tv, so I'm not a bad guy" or "I couldv'e killed him, but I didn't, I just beat him up.." and think that they are good people. lol. I guess I've kind of done the same thing. I've kept a good job for a long time. I've had the same apartment, which I try hard to keep clean and inviting, for almost seven years. I care for the people in my life with all my heart. I don't lie, cheat, steal or hurt people with ill intent. But that doesn't make me a good person. Thats just the base, a bottom line of decency. So what am I supposed to do? ha! Being a good person should just be the begining, then there should be some kind of self sacrifice I think. Do the right things, and then do good things. Making millions doesn't make your life meaningful. (Would make it alot easier though lol.) So anyway, makes me wonder how I'm going to feel when I find out if we are having our ten year reunion. Should I feel proud of the man that I've become, yeah I am. But I think I'm still going to feel like that kid that I was in high school. And I don't know if thats a good or bad thing? Ok, I'll try to finish this post with some kind of point later, off to Moi Thai, class haiya!

Sadly we are measured by our accomplishments. But be just as proud to have accomplished probably the hardest part - decency & self worth. Success or not, no good can come with out it...
