stuck


so through a combination of my ribs not being completely healed, my bike not cooperating, and a general lack of foresight, i didn't go on my bike ride after all.  it was just too stressful to get everything together in time.  i might have been able to pull it off, but it wouldn't have been relaxing, so what's the point?

i did get my turkey fill via my friend theresa and her family.

today (friday)  i've done a lot of nothing.  i just finished watching Hellboy II and there was a line in it that really resonated with me.  this was, of course, further resonated by the fact that you don't expect a movie like Hellboy to speak any sort of deep truths to you.  anyway, the line was:

"does everyone in the world have to love you, or am i enough?"

that speaks to a pretty deep part of me.  even if it's never been asked, i feel like i have earned that question more than once, and surely will again.  i have yet to get to the root of my compulsive attention whoredom.  maybe not so much attention, more like approval and admiration whoredom.  one day, i suppose...
