So I have some thoughts. These thoughts started in Mr. Hathaway's biology class last semester. We had taken a test (that I had not studied for) and we were getting our scores back. He said something like: "If you didn't do well on this test don't feel bad. There are a lot of factors that go into taking a test. You may have done poorly if you didn't eat breakfast that morning. So, don't feel bad, it doesn't mean you aren't good at biology." As he was saying this in my mind I was justifying my score. It's not like I did horrible on my test, but I could have done better. Then I started thinking... I can justify what I do wrong all I want, but if I am going to be honest with myself I have to face the fact that the reason I didn't do well on my test was because I hadn't studied. It didn't have anything to do with the fact that I didn't eat breakfast.
I dunno... just sayin'.

You are just too great. I like when you think deep, because it makes me think too. I remember when we had this same conversation on one of our bus adventures. Love it. haha! that just reminded me of when you had to pee so bad that I made you tell me my life story to distract you. Oh, how I miss our bus adventures.
june bug... i realize you are probably upstairs... BUT. I was thinking the EXACT SAME thing today.. as i failed a test...literally failed. I need to man up and study! I am taking "your" advice too.

I hope you still admire my taste in music after I write the following, but ... I don't really like the Stars. I have one of their albums and I've tried and tried to like them, but I just can't.
