Anyone out there know of any really good conversation fodder? I mean the type of fodder that will keep a nine year old conversation going. The type of interesting anecdotes that will engage a listener after you just finished talking about the color of grass for two hours. I’ve got nothing.
That’s one really frustrating part of life, to me. It’s so easy to run out of things to talk about. Times where the thing you want most is to really connect with someone and finally have the time, but you were so focus on making the time you forgot you’d need something to connect over. I believe that’s what they call irony.
Then again, talking about anything seems interesting after talking about grass.

I’m here at the lake with kate and ella. They are the funniest two things you could ever imagine. One minute they’re running a million miles an hour chasing each other, the next they’re asleep. What’s even more funny is that they forget all about running and playing outdoors as soon as I go inside. Then they switch into good, old, never-leave-your-side dogs. I’m sure the prospect of food has nothing to do with it.
At the same time, though, I did drive an hour out if my way to go back and get my wallet on the way down here, since I packed super-lite and forgot it. The prospect of no money for food did have something to do with it.

tires the crap out of me. Not quite literally, but I think you understand the sentiment.
Every morning I take her running in hopes that she doesn’t go and do something stupid with all her energy like eat the entire tree in our backyard. We’ve had mixed results with that.
This morning, however, was different. I really don’t have any clue what happened, but she decided to be as difficult as possible. She didn’t even just stop, letting me drag her. That would be too easy. No, instead she decided she would let me do the running for her. (read more)

It seems I just can’t slip the bug. No matter how long I let my faithful blog go to waste, the itch to get back and write in it again haunts me. So, back I come. I’m sorry my vigilant bearer of text for the absence.
The most difficult part, though, is trying to decide what is the best format to write in and how much planning is optimal.

I loves me some shiny cars. You see one of those Infinity M classes or new Mustangs (particularly GT’s) driving down the road and imagine myself behind the wheel…boy, howdy, don’t that feel good. Daydreams and wishes are great for personal time, but let’s do a little deeper digging to answer a question for ourselves: why do we love the things we love?
Among other things (namely greed), I’d say it’s because people want to be great. Being great is a good thing, especially when it’s part of a greater plan, but there seems to be a myth people can carry with them from junior high about being great. Just like hanging out with the cool kids can make you cool, some people think that buying great things can make you great. Hate to burst your bubble, but nothing could be farther from the truth.

In the ancient, time honored tradition of bloggers, I want to send all my vast horde of readers to visit another quality site I know: MonicaKarnavas.com. Trust me, this one is gonna be bigger than The End Of The Internet.
Don’t know quite how often the site will be updated, but it’s been updated at least once by now. So, if nothing else, maybe fame will inspire whoever owns that site (could it be Monica Karnavas?) to keep with daily updates.
