take some time to consider...

Whooop! back in the ol' dorm room... slept the WHOLE way here which was a first. Must've been more tired than I thought... wow I forgot how quiet it is around here.
Random thought of the day: Tell me why chex mix for kids is cheaper than regular chex mix?
Consideration of the day: I just found out that my good friend Kara's father died suddenly this (?) morning. So of course I called my parents who are on their way home from bringing me back to college and said, "I love you".
My dad is one of those guys who says it all the time, and sometimes I catch myself thinking that he says it too much, but then I realize that u can't say it too often if and when u really really mean it. You never know what can happen, when u could lose someone and never be able to hear it or say it one last time.
You know some may call someone who is always looking at the bright side of things, always taking the bad with the good in an obscurely graceful manner, always being sentimental and caring to be odd... I would rather live my life in that way and die knowing I was genuine, loved as many ppl as I could and they knew how I felt. Whenever someone gets in a car I have gotten into the habit of saying, "have a safe trip back" or "take care" and giving them a hug that hopefully they will remember as being a caring one.
As the age gets older, such as with parents and such the fact of age raises the chances of unxpected loss. Somedays I try to forget that it is even possible to lose someone I care so much about at this point or any point in my life so that I don't bog myself down, but then again, we all have to remember the mortality of everyone to some degree so we don't forget to say the things needed to be said, to do the things needed to be done, even if it is said and done over and over and over... just to make sure.
