Trying to look ahead

This may not make sense...its my thoughts at the moment.

I am one who tends to dwell on the past a lot. I keep e-mails from several years ago from certain people that I go back and read and I look at them and say to myself how could I have done this differently. I had chances, opportunities to make something happen, to change it for the better but yet I hesitate or don’t say the right thing or don’t say enough to make my feelings known when the person on the other side knows my feelings they are just trying to get me to say it. If I had a time machine I would totally change things. But how far would I go back? There are many e-mails over many years and many failures of mine. Which would I choose to pick to go back and change? French Toast Girl? Girl at Lance’s Party? THE Girl? (of course real names are not used…unless you know me and can figure them out). And why am I so afraid of moving ahead. Why can’t I learn from these mistakes and use them to go ahead with what I want.

Then there are songs that take me back. Back to high school, back to the movie theater, back to fun times with friends and loved ones. There are so many songs that take me back to the movie theater. I loved that place despite the shit I went through. I had many friends there and we had a hell of a time. We all had fun there…even if we won’t admit it most of the time. Then there are the guys, Jeff, Bobby, Loren, and John, we had good times and we had bad times. They also worked at the theater. We didn’t always get along. I always felt like the odd man out with that group…oh how they tortured me so. Why I continued to hang out with those guys I have no clue. There were times when I felt accepted. Here is the kicker I do miss hanging with them every now and then.

I guess thinking of the past isn’t a bad thing, remembering the good times and bad. But I guess I shouldn’t dwell in it. I can’t change what happened. I realize that. I just miss the old times not that I don’t like what’s happening now but there were some fun memories. I wish I could hang out more with Ms. King and other friends from that high school era.

Oh well…

My name is John, I live in Columbus, and I like Cincinnati sport teams.

I know amazing isn’t it? Because if you look around Columbus, I could be wrong but I don’t think I am, Columbus is very Cleveland heavy. Which to me I feel is very unfair.

Here are my arguments:

First of all being in Columbus, which as most of you know is the capital of Ohio. Shouldn’t the capital support all major sports teams in Ohio?

Second, Cincinnati is closer to Columbus than Cleveland.

It’s not like the Cleveland teams are any better than the Cincinnati teams. I’ve done research about the Reds and the Indians. The Reds have gone to the world series 8 times and won 5 out 8. 1919, 1939, 1940, 1961, 1970, 1975, 1976, 1990. But yes its been over 10 years since the Reds have been back. The Indians have only gone 5 times and only have won twice. 1920, 1948, 1954, 1995, 1997. Its also been 10 years since they have been back.

But I doubt it has to do anything with records and such. Its demand and unfortunately there is not a lot of demand for Cincinnati sportswear.

I’ve made my complaints to the major stores around Columbus but my one voice apparently doesn’t matter to these stores. I thought about petitions. What to do. I know there are Reds and Bengals fans in Columbus but are the just as frustrated as me?

I just don't get it.

This has been an issue for me dating all the way back to high school and I just don't understand. Why do people not

flush after they use the toilet? I mean I can forgive an accidental, I was in a hurry cause the phone was ringing or someone called for me or something. But when your at work and the little flusher knob is seriously 3 inches away from you chest how can you not push it when you finish? Some people say germs. I can understand that but aren't you going to wash you hands anyways? I just don't understand. How would they like it if they walked up to a toilet left like that. I bet you they wouldn't like it one bit. Now I am no way in fact MR. Clean. There are just some things that just have to happen and in my opinion flushing the toilet after using it is one of them. Its been a long day and I really had to get this off my chest or it would have drove me crazy.

I also needed to kill some time.
