its one AM, do you know where you are right now?

did you know that the masons greatest treasure is the idea that we'll someday all agree on everything? Na that not it at al. but it is startling to consider jsut how much our stories are the same. look the the letters we'd never send. Thousands of vignetts that we've all created in our heads. I thought for sure I read my own posts, but alas, initials gave it away.
So if we're all the same, is confidence the only source or power anymore? I read somewhere, via stumble or something, that confidence is the greatest source of personal power available, and its free!
Its one in tehe morening now, and all night I wanted to get drunk and stoned. I never ended up doing anything, which is, in hindsight, the best decision. I find myself pondering as to why I wanted it so badly in the first place. prolly cause it was available. Prolly cause I felt it would put me int he state of mind to write garbuldygook in the middle of the night. Prolly cause I dont have to work tomorrow, and this is the oly time Im free and alone. But whiskey is for occasions. the herbs for friends. and neither is safe or fun alone.
raise hand. change subject.
I helped a delivery man the other day. He was bringing chips to the local cvs, and the wind knocked over his palette, boxes of bags everywhere. As i crossed the street towards him, a couple of guys thought they were being helpful in reminding the man that some of the boxes had slipped under the truck, so he not forget them. without saying a word i slid under the parked truck and retrieved the lost snackfood. His thanks were the most appreciative words I think ive heard in a long time. And I dont think it was because I helped, I thnk it was because I did so without prompting, without hesitation, and without embarrasing him.
I dont know what made me remember that.
It was a "day of peace" today on facebook. an event someone from across the country made up, proposing that we all be nice to eachother today. Pretty sad we need a facebook event to celebrate humility. But I was aware of it all day anyway. I like to think I didnt do anything different, though I did notice I was FAR more willing ot discuss meaningless things with customers. I was just in a good mood. The coffee, the feeling of accomplishment from printing photos, and the simple fact its friday didnt hurt either.
I have nothing else. I really only came on because I havent been on in so long, at least comparatively. So goodnight then.
