Took a nap when I got home from work, and was awaken by a symphony from NYC streets. I unknowingly had a first row seat to a performance from an old school car with a pimped out alarm and the vocal stylings of two men "conversing" right outside my first floor window. Ah, who needs ambiance music when you have such soothing sounds at your disposal? Trust me, they got a standing ovation...
Luckily, some people are around when needed....@ dawn.... A chill convo and three hours later, I'm wide awake laughing @ infomercials and enjoying an apple.
Alone time+post conversation mental stimulation= random thoughts.
What's this? I have time to write? Seize the 4am-ish moment!
Curiosity's rhetorical offspring:
*How important are the comments of those important people in your life? In other words, how much of an impact does the opinion of a loved one (may it be a close friend or family member) have on your decisions?
*Why don't more people face the fear of singledom?
*Why is it assumed that women are always relationship ready/prone?
*What really matters to you @ the end of the day?
*Why do people tend to primarily focus on the negative aspect of a situation? For example, your boss says, I've gotta talk to you, & people immediately think they are in for a bad meeting.
*What's the last personal realization you dawned upon?
*Was that meticulous enough?
*When is selfishness justified, if at all?
There's a lot more where that came from but those are questions around the recurring themes of many of my recent interactions and continued adventure to self discovery. The more personal developments I experience, the more questions arise.
I like questions because they lead to unknown territory & sometimes they force you to find the answer. But just having them shows that you are paying attention.
Well I hope this give you a randomness fix, hasta luego.

Standing ovation

just lovely........ <3
As far as the importance of comments from your significant others... well it seems to have great significance and well a great impact as well, in my case.
However, I believe those same comments are a double edge sword, just as they can encourage you they may deflate your drive too.
About selfishness... Let me preface my comment with this. I'm all about giving and doing for people. But sometimes you have to make a judgment call as to when you are not getting back what you put in.
Of course in dealing with people you cannot have the same approach as business where you look for the ROI.
However, sometimes people may mistake your kindness... yada yada you know the rest. And then you have to put yourself first. I say if they don't like then you know they're only looking out for # 1.
