The bus don't hand out change white boy!

So May was a bust for the blogging. Good news, June is here so we'll shoot for two.

I like to think. Nothing of any real interest but just think in general. Over the past couple of days I've gone for walks along the Bay in the middle of the afternoon and I submit for you some of the fair observations from your aimless bay wanderer:

A lot of people take their lunch breaks along the Harbor Bay Parkway which leads into the business park. The funny thing is they park their cars so they are along the water but are facing the office buildings. What is more depressing than that? Even when you are on your time you're looking at the 9-5 prison you go to everyday except for weekends (sometimes) and holidays (if you're lucky). I've always wondered why these people don't get out of their cars and look towards San Francisco or at least go sit by the water.

The water itself is pretty ridiculous if you think about it. The oceans haven't changed over time. Sure they rise and fall, find themselves in a state of pollution, and have been displaced here and there but besides that they have been their from the beginning. The waters are the same ones the Vikings sailed on, Jesus walked on, and all of that good stuff. But no, look at your office building that was put up in the 80s.

My favorite thing about walking is finding yourself all alone and then have a calm breeze come across a grass field while the sun is shinning. You can't get that on TV or in a book. To just find yourself all alone and marvel in the simplicity of these things is important. At least to yours truly.

People can be pretty rude. It has gotten to the point where people freak out if you say hi to them. When I walk I'll see people I don't know. If we make eye-contact they will look away real quick like, "Oh shit he saw me!" So? I'll then say, "hello" or whatever salutation comes to mind. These people freak out. They don't know what to say. That is why I really like the movie "Patch Adams." While it has a lot to offer I always come back to the thought that you need human interaction and above all humor. There is a lot wrong in the world that can't be laughed at but we all need a good laugh every now and again.

Who is playing golf at 11:45 on a Wednesday? That golf course always has people on it. I mean good for these people but shouldn't you guys have jobs or something?

I have lots to say but the words escape me. This is nice, lets do this again real soon. No, no, I have your number so I'll call you.

Oh real quick, if you have an Nintendo 64 and you haven't played it in awhile bring that bitch out. Those games were legit.
