Public.

All these entries are public, it makes me wonder what kind of people read them and what kind of opinions they form about me.

It's funny this thing called the interweb. Anyone who's ever moderated a forum knows that people just act differently behind the shroud of an online persona. Even so, I feel like people have stopped surprising me. It's as if everything is almost a forgone conclusion. You expect people to act a certain way, have certain attitudes, and they do. All based on a few things you know?

At the same time, I'm always hoping to give people the benefit of the doubt. That they aren't who they are set up to be, because more often than not that set up leads to failure. But I guess in the end to each their own?

I had lunch with my sister yesterday. It was nice. It's the first time I've ever had eggs benedict. Pretty good I must say. It was the first time in a long time to really talk with her about life and things.

I mention this because that phrase came up, to each their own. Really not the same context, but it just reminded me. I could go on a long diatribe about what we talked about, but maybe another time.

I did however watch Imagine Me & You again. Ironically, the last time I saw it I felt there was some change in my life coming that would result from that movie. Maybe it was half serious, but in the end a similar outcome occurred. I open admit that movies inspire me, I wonder if there is a closet term for this. Closet cinemophile. So right, I just made up that word.

Regardless, it's an interesting thought.

i want to see this movie called "Grace is Gone"...it looks kinda interesting.

Some people are more complex than you think, others are shallower than you think. I say just leave 'em be and be happy knowing the people you truly know.

Yeah, but we aren't islands. People affect other people. It's hard to just say let them be when they directly, or indirectly, have an effect on your life or your friends.
