September 17, 2005Dear Journal,
Its 6 am and its very very very hot! With the corpse of thousand throughout the city it makes me sad to see this kind of nature attacks. Its been two days now that I haven’t return any phone calls. Hope none of my family mad at me. Just hope that Tiny Thinie ain’t mad at me.
Well at break today while standing at the front of the ship. Taking the debriezzes of the city in my lungs it made me understand that life is life. Theres no way you can protect yourself from what ever happen. But you can prevent things from happen.
Lesson Two: on the other hand I also figured that its somewhat part of the superior falt for being stupid!
Have you ever walk through a neighborhood and frames per frames walks every slowly? Thats what I felt today. While walking through the same beautiful neighborhood of New Orleans which now left in ruins made me quite sad. Beautiful times cannot be retain for life. Always learn to appreciate what you got before its gone. Chances comes and goes, pick the right time and you’re there.
At the wedding there was my chance. But beind the chance there’s a story behind it. At the end theres nothing more but memories and hopes of this heart. Thats one dreams but then dreams aren’t meant to be achieved. Over my years of experience I figured that dreams cannot be met but it can be work toward. I thought I would put effort into that one chance but then that one chance hit me hard. Well then Journal, here with my hands and head going in circles. I started back where I’m at. On the big hand I like the way Thina parents talk to me. Though our conversation wasnt more then 1 hour but I learned alot off them. All my life I enjoy listen to adult talk. You learn alot from their mistakes preventing your own mistakes.
Ahhhh On the big side! I hate it when people dont take anything from me. A few days ago I talked with Dr. Hughes and Dr. Huhta about a nose, lip, and implants for Thina that she want but they wouldn’t take my money. What should I do? ahhhhh
ahh oh well, later journal! See you next time.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh later gotta work
Tiny Thinie, hope you read this daily forever there is only one memory.
