broken hearts are usually generated by the person who gets destroyed.

in fact i’d say they always are.

you see love is fickle and nervous and frigid and hidden.  there is nothing wrong with hiding from it.  there is nothing wrong with being destroyed.  all that you can worry about is giving your all.

you see.  smiling at someone is something that even the most annoying of ’50′s couples could put up with every morning and now no one can even humorously smile at someone every morning on the bus.  i’m not citing a weakness, i’m just confused.  i’m that douchebag who smiles at you at 6am on the bus when you wish you were sleeping or at 2am when you wish you’d of had less to drink.

i just want to know why no one smiles back.

   I wish i lived in the 50′s. being nice to strangers, including the smiles, trying to look nice everyday, making marriage work, etc. I’m sure it wasn’t easy but at least they tried. whereas we don’t even try!

   Hi nick! I read blogs.

   I don’t have a website yet. My contact Eric has emailed you about me and possibly programming my site but you are out having fun this Memorial Day weekend, just as should be. I stopped reading some of your stuff as I could be your Mother and my youngest son is about your age. I can already perceive that you and Eric are in the high functioning, creative category. I just want you to know that I smile at people with sincerity. I smile often at those who rarely receive smiles because I respect the dignity of others. I grew up in small town Iowa where very few people were unkind and most were always willing to help others in need. The world can be cruel to others who do not deserve to be so maltreated or ignored. I hope you will be able to help me and Eric with my website. I will try not to intrude into your space. Thanks for gracing the world with your being. Dianne
