The Perfect Drug
I've come to a slight realization. I don't post on here very often. "The reason?" You might ask. Well it's simply because I've begun using this blog more as a form of entertainment for all of you, my loyal readers. All my Jeffinists. But, Due to me leading a rather dull life, I don't have too many overly entertaining things to write about. I suppose this all started with my Romance, The Other White Meat post. I got quite a few compliments for that one. So, after that I wanted to keep things entertaining for you. But, I sort of failed last week, simply because I was writing for the sake of writing. But that's a little different this week. I want to get back into the proverbial swing of things. So, check back often, cause I'm hoping to post once a week.......mind you, that's what I said when I first started this thing.
On the sad news front, my Aunt Solange died last Wednesday. The funeral was today. I wasn't overly close due to her and my Uncle Glen (my Mom's brother) living so far away from Pembroke. It wasn't until I moved to Windsor that I was closer to them, but I'm still a good hours drive away. I still wish I would have visited more over the last year. But, hindsight's 20/20. It's so surreal seeing the body in the casket. I mean, you're used to seeing a person who is asleep, but, this person is dead. It's a bit of a harsh reality. She wasn't too old either, really. She had just turned 49 5 days before she died. It makes me value life more. Not so much myself but people around me. I just want to scold any friends who smoke. (it was a tumor on her lung that killed her. I attribute it to her smoking) And I want to just tell everyone I love, that I love them. Because I just don't know when the last time I will see or talk to them. But, on to more cheerful topics.
After the funeral (yeah, this is happier already.......*sigh*) I came home and hopped onto the computer, mostly because I have no life to speak of, so I sit on the internet. That, and after a funeral, even tho emotionally I was ok, I didn't really feel like doing anything. So, I talked to my friend Drea. We talked for six hours. 1/4 of the day! I was somewhat surprised, just that the time went by so quickly. It didn't surprise me that we talked for six hours tho. Since first meeting and chatting on MSN, we clicked instantly. With all due respect to ALL of my friends, very few of them share a connection with me the way she does. And I can't think of a better way to waste a 1/4 of the day. Heh.
Oh, and as a little P.S. to this.........COMMENT!!! Rarely does anyone comment on my postses. Am I that boring? Gad!
