Random ramblings............

Two things to say today...
I lent a friend two David Sedaris books, just knowing he would love them. He read a couple stories and said "this book is stupid" "This crap never happened to this guy, it's all made up and it's just stupid". I couldn't believe my ears. I just kept going on and on about it saying you need to read one more story, how can you say this is stupid? It did come up that I seem to want him to like something just because I do and why was I forcing the issue? Seems to be a pattern of mine. I just can't believe it when someone dosn't get something that I love so much. Especially David Sedaris, I mean, come on!

Topic two....
My dear friend is putting her family dog to sleep tomorrow. The dog she grew up with. She was crying today and it broke my heart. I wouldn't feel as bad, but I met this dog a few weeks ago. It was all skinny and old and blind and the sweetest thing ever. HIs name is Oscar. He fell of off a curb trying to walk towards me.
I know my friend and she will be all curled up tonite next to Oscar spending her last night with him. This is just too sad to me. My ability to feel other's pain is sometimes not the gift I think it is.
