When they raise the landing gear will you stay here?

There are so many people we meet in life, and some are only in it for an hour or four 10mins....but how long does it take for someone to have an impact?

sometimes stuff starts happening and we didn't even know it was going on until after the whole ordeal was gone....

On trips I can meet people and talk to them very brefily and wish I was staying longer to know them, or I can wish I was going home sooner to get away...

There are people I"ve met for 10mins that I remember more then people I've lived with for 6 weeks.

There was Mike tonight, who was funny and a dork who talked about school and baseball. I'll never see him again, and its just as well, but will anything he said make a difference in my life later on?

There was Angie, who woke me up at 5 in the morning to take showers *Sepretly* who called her mom in South Africa at 7, so I could talk to her, and who I wanted to kill on so many occasions.

What did I learn from Angie? Or was it Tasnibe who made all the difference?

Its probably a good thing we don't know waht will impact us the most in our lives, then we might go out of our way to avoid them or meet them. Most of us would probably miss them or ignore them all together.....

It makes me sad to leave places. Even if I hated them, becuase as harsh as it seems, its not hard to leave someone youv'e become close to for a short time to go back to your past life. Maybe you'll ponder them, or have a funny antidote, but how do we know when someones made a difference?

I remember pick-pockets and street performers, the life gaurd who yelled at me in a pool, and billboards on the interestate.

I don't know my brothers favorite color, or how many siblings my dad has. I don't remember the names of army heros but I can tell you how white the mans teeth who drove our taxi in New York was.

I can tell you all about the photographer on a whale watch who I wanted so badly to talk to but couldn't think of anthing to say.

I know my next door neighbor has a friend named Ticen, but I don't know his name....

Its weird
