Take Off Your Underpants

"Every story has a beginning.
Every life has meaning and potential."
-as heard while watching
KYLE-XY, Season II

I have been doing this BLOG for over a year now. The first one was posted on November 9, 2008. I have been posting a number of quotes from the book "The Divided Path". After reading that book I detected some parallels to my life (especially after flashbacks to my old diary/journal from twenty-five years ago). I find it fascinating how so many people entered my life and failed to continue in my life. People come and people go. What makes a person stick?

Here is another excerpt from "The Divided Path" by Nial Kent:

'That time at the Hotel Carollton, which he had always considered the apex of his sex life, those seven hours of Elysium, had they ever really happened?
And if it had happened, had it really been as wonderful as he had remembered it, or had it grown in beauty with the passage of time, colored by his romantic imagination, taking on the stuff of which legends are made?
Doubts assailed him suddenly from all sides.'

Twenty-five years ago today:

While at work today I spoke to Jim Padilla, some older gent who claimed that he is the number “1” seller in our office along with all of this other bragging “shit”. I was not impressed by him. Karyn Kossoff had already told me that he stole a big WATS (Wide Area Telephone Service) sale from her. It’s funny how certain friends influence you about other people. I seriously could care less about this Padilla chap.

Barbara Reynolds confirmed my appointment for Tuesday at Vidal Sassoon in San Francisco for a men’s wash, cut and blow dry by Susan Rasmussen. I am hoping her friend will be fun.

When I arrived home I called Karyn Kossoff and we talked for a good while. I read a few philosophical statements to her that she thought were interesting. She is so sweet. Her “Pebbles” laugh really tickles me.

I watched “A Woman of Substance” and went to bed by 10pm. The last line from the movie will remain a constant thought about living life:
‘Endure life to its fullest’
I guess it means to simply ‘ENJOY’. I am. I do.
