Ninja in a Nutshell

everything i think is ridiculous. fortunately, i have a filter that can be applied in serious situations. it has been tested and is approved. i love sports because they are pretend. i mean, they really happen, but they don't mean anything...at all.  just something to root for. katie...as cheesy as it sounds, where would i be without her? i have no idea, but regardless of the location, i am a better person now. here's how that went: 1. tom is mean to someone, says something mean about someone, etc. 2. katie is mad 3. tom thinks, "maybe i should stop being mean to people cuz it makes katie mad." fighting takes work, and i am lazy. mix in a touch of: 4. maturity and an opening of eyes to the fact that i'm in no position to be mean to anyone else. this attitude as a quote = "who the hell am i?" this translates to the fact that i can't believe the accuracy of the cliche, "you can't judge a book by the cover." i like "the office" and genuinely dislike "everyone loves raymond". jewelry is not romantic. i love concerts because it's awesome when a band sounds exactly like the studio album. also, when i imagine how the band feels as the entire crowd sings the words that they wrote, i get excited...for the band/singer. i think the key to a healthy relationship is the people being comfortable with themselves. and when it comes to love, if you can't love yourself, how can you love someone else? i am amazingly attracted to and amazed by alliteration. i try very hard to treat everyone the same...bosses, friends, classmates, strangers. if i am genuine, they will be genuine. i like the idea of enough financial freedom to buy a Lexus, but i don't want to buy a Lexus. i would rather have good memories than good stuff. tom out.
