granted

I was sitting at the beach today thinking about how much people take things for
granted. Like for today as an example, I went to the beach, some place called
Brigantine. I was sitting on the beach on the most beautiful day all week (or at least I
Think) bitching because I didn�t want to be there. I no kids who would have loved to go to the beach regardless.

And it�s not just that either I find myself taking things for granted (please excuse my
spelling I can�t spell for crap) Like I go to band camp and I and a lot of other people
Bitch because were working really hard and were really far ahead. We are lucky that
our director is good and that he pushes us. I don�t no where or how we would be even
remotely good without him.

I can sit here and name things for hours that me and other people take for granted
but ill save u the time. But I think one of the most important things that I myself
take for granted is most of my friends. Like my buttercup. I am constantly saying
mean things or inappropriate jokes for either a laugh or for no good reason at all and I
really feel bad about it. Yeah sometimes its funny but it hurts her feelings and I feel
bad that I make her upset (I know I'm obsessed with her get over it) and I am really
grateful that she doesn�t just stop talking to me (even though she�s threatened to many
times) and I am really thankful that she can forgive me so easily and take most of the
stuff I say light heartedly.

Anyway about ungratefulness. Another example is technology. I wake up
every morning and go online and check my mail. I sit there waiting for ten minutes
once again bitching that it takes so long. I mean it does but I no people that don�t even have AOL and would love to and I'm bitching that it takes to long to get on. That really shows how spoiled I am. There are other things like the rides I get to band. I take that for granted too. I mean what would I do without those rides? My parents work and I would have to find some other person that is willing to come out of there way to get me.

(getting back to my buttercup) sorry everyone (not that I think about it I�m going to
make a page for her so u don�t have to listen to this) I take the talks that we have and
the things she tells me for granted. She doesn�t have to tell me but she trusts me and
she tells me anyway and I just kind of expect to hear it and I don�t really take it in how
much it should mean to me that she trusts me enough to tell me stuff. We sit and talk
all the time and I just kind of expect that too. I really don�t even think about how great it is that we talk and tell each other how our days were and so on. I really should be
grateful that we get a chance to talk almost everyday and that I see her almost
everyday. (another reason why I like band)

There's going to be more to come later when I take more for granted so yeah...

I came to the conclusion that i take so much for granted everyday even things that i dont realize that it is pointless to try to name everything. The main thing i think i take for granted though is happyness. Its a great feeling and when its gone it really sucks, stay happy if you can... never let it go....

After re-evaluating what i said and watching castaway i found that the number of things everyone of us takes for granted is amazeing. there was this one part where tom hanks finally got back and he picked up a lighter and lit it and kept doing it and just looked disgusted and then put it donw. even things that we dont think about like fire and just everything, he said in the one part "here i am siting im Memphus, with ice in my glass, things like ice and everything that we take for granted without realizing. just take a minute and think about it.... its crazy
