Blogging can be so cool

Ok so I am a newbie on a new internet search place but wow is this fun, or is my life just this boring. Scary thought in my warped mind

But really it is interesting to find old friends and see what they are doing in their life, but then again sometimes you find out things about your own family members who have blogs that shock the crapola out of you.

Okay so parents....if you have a child and you want to know what they are up to or what they say, hey search for their name on myspace, you just might be surprised, or shocked, this AUNTIE was.

Anyway, my boss at work was teasing me when i told him about all the old friends I had found on it. I had a thought though, why am I doing this?

Am I just curious about what others are doing, or am I trying to hold on to a piece of the past.I would say its mostly the latter, as long as we can hold on to the past, it makes us feel young, and young these days i don't feel. I feel like in the last 12 yrs i have aged to just about a 50 yr old in a 33 yr old woman's body. But then again age has not done much for my body either and that sucks too.

Life takes many turns, too many fast turns, I tell youngsters to try not to grow up so fast, slow down, enjoy your youth. But the teens just roll their eyes at me and call me names behind my back.But little do they realize how life can be changed in a second, teens think they are immortal, at least most of the ones of today.

One thing I can say, is my son took each one of his days to the fullest before he died. But then again, he knew he was dying, even told his girlfriend he was dying before we officially knew how bad he was from his hospice doctor. He knew that life was short and he wanted to make an impact on everyone around him and he did.He was my hero and always will be.

So for me, hanging on to the past, helps us with the present and brings us more joy in the future.But hey thats just my two cents, what do I know, I am just an old lady, or so the teens say HAHAHA
