Just read a girlfriend's blog and so love that she still refers to her little brother with the nickname "Bruce Lee." Missus O and I were on the swim team as kids and when her little brother Steven started up karate lessons, one of the crew (maybe it was my brother?) started calling him Bruce. So funny that is still being called that. And yes, I am still refered to as "Nerd." to think that I've had that nickname for about 20 years. Probably true as I think about it, I am a bit of a nerd. Have you noticed now though that nerds are cool? Just a thought, but it seems that nerds have it a lot better than they used to.
Since it was moon day B and I went out for a bit of breaka. I had a cafe au lait as I had already had some cereal. He surprises me sometimes, I got up thinking I would go to the gym and when I hit 0 mph traffic I decided to just turn around go home. When I got back he opened the door and said in mock-horror "You left! We never have the mornings together and you left!" Nice to be loved isn't it?
We had our softball game, almost lost, but we conquered in the end. Go Young Guns, the return. That is four wins in a row! I had a couple of good stops and a couple of decent hits. My team is super cool, love hanging out with them post game. We hit up Roundtable every week. B is pretty darn good at softball. Love a man that knows how to swing :)
Another blogger buddy posted about friends and how she's finding it difficult to establish certain kinds of friendships. I got to thinking, thank the man upstairs for a diversity of friends. I love that I have friends all over the world with so many different interests and life experiences. I want to send a xxx out to all my diverse buddies-Lauren, Ina, Emma (the British and Aussie variations), Jen, Aly, Ali, Dan, Megs, Laura, Ari, Brett, Layne, Kyra, Dan, Denis, David, Jackie, Jules, Kel, Nina, Nick, Sally, Skip, Stacia, Amanda, of course my best friend B,... I am BLESSED with killer friends and thank heavens for them bringing me into their lives.
Lastly, for those who have made it thus far into my rambles, I was thinking about what would be the coolest thing to be good at. Hmmm, singing? Surfing-no, maybe? Art. With my current unbearable lightness of being I'll go with being a writer. That would probably be the best... to produce a piece of writing that could endure and resonate. Kundera, Steinbeck, Tolstoy, Annie Erneaux, Maugham. Yep, you're pretty cool dudes. Would love to hear what you bloggers out there would want to be good at-
