Wantwantwantwantwant! Even if it is 1:38 in the morning - and I have this delicious 7-11 hot chocolate (which tastes light years better than their coffee)!
As a former Starbucks barista, I can think of many negative things to say about gas station coffee... If dark colored flavored water counts as coffee. In fact, once you've had real coffee from all over the world... Like Starbucks, or intelligentsia, or many other types... going back to the knockoff stuff just really doesn't do anything for you anymore except make you feel gross and cheap… and just kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Like Folgers…

I always imagine what people say to me, so now I have this picture in my mind of you and someone else literally exchanging needles ("you have a blue one? Cool! I'll trade you for two pink, those are so pretty and I need to decorate my tapestry")

Today I went to the store and the cashier gestured at me and was very rude to me I called her a bad name under my breath.
I really don't understand why God allows people like that to have anything...
Yeah I get it, yeah yeah yeah, everyone is the same way...all have fallen short of the glory of God.
But today, for the first time in a long time I actually wanted to inflict pain on her...
But I'll get over this feeling in about the next hour or so..
Maybe I'm feeling something else.
Then I came home and I was so very blessed to have a tree branch fall off from a tree and hit my arm. It felt more like a log of .....I TOLD YOU SO..
What the h e double hockey sticks.

I like it.
For all those who weren't brave enough to click on the link... It was that song I said I might record the other night. Here:

Things like that happen to me sometimes too. I recently read something that helped. It said to basically separate yourself from the situation and just let things happen as they may, not reacting or getting invested with emotion, instead just letting things unfold and accepting whatever happens knowing that its happening outside of you, separate from you. Be like water. Water does not strike back when its attacked or when it comes against an obstacle. It simply flows around it while yielding to it, but it is also not harmed by it. I know that's pretty esoteric but it has helped me so I thought I'd share.
Love this...sounds Bruce lee'ish....I have read a lot of his work...he fascinates me

For some reasons, when you said "Be like water", I remembered this:
Like a cloud, I am soft
Like bamboo, I bend in the wind
Creeping slow I'm at peace because I know
It's okay to be afraid.
I wonder if someone can't guess this song.

Oh you guys are good!!
It's actually from someone who studied the Tao Te Ching extensively. It wasn't Bruce Lee though, but he did get his wisdom from the Tao. 
I'd rather not mention the name because it might garner a lot of 'new age' criticism.

Cool! Can I make a guess? Was it Yip Man?
Wow you know about Yip Man?
It wasn't him though. Its an author who often does talks on PBS (not sure if you get that tv network there). The tao is just one of the things that he has studied. He also speaks about the teachings of mother teresa, ghandi, even Jesus and others but he's not a religious figure.

Aww wasn't even close lol. I don't think we get PBS here (I haven't watched TV in a long time though so I maybe wrong). I know Yip Man, maybe not a whole lot though. I've seen the movies Ipman 1 & 2, and would watch 3 when it's out. He's like sortof Bruce Lee's mentor/guru. He has lots of values that are similar to our christian faith. Hmm actually, most religions do. I've always admired Ghandi and Mother Teresa. I like their humanistic values.
You know a lot more about Yip Man than me then. I knew he was bruce lee's teacher and mentor and also a grandmaster of kung-fu, but I havent seen any of the movies. I need to see them!
Yea I admire mother teresa and ghandi too. I think their attitudes were very much like we should be as christians when it comes to loving others and being selfless.

True that. And yes! The movies were great! He's a great man and I've got nothing but respect for him and his art. Also, Mike Tyson will be in Ip Man 3 (this I just found out today lol). Now that we're talking about this, I wanna watch his movies again. His love for justice is inspiring (he was once a policeman).
