If someone had a few dollars we all ate or drank or smoked and the rotation was endless. It was the late sixties and subjects from VietNam to Black Panthers were on our minds. We had created a sub family, lucky to have survived, in some cases, our first families. Some of the group went on to fame, others passed on, and some simply drifted away but the days of lean means were the best because as you begin to create success and money becomes more fluid you can find yourself isolated. I would trade the comfort for one more day of sitting together with my old friends...if only I had known that then. You are absolutely correct when you say life is about the journey, not the destination.

Although your post isn’t just about blogging it relates a lot to what blogging is about. Here is another thought. When i meet someone that is interesting and we have things to talk about, it gives me a great feeling. In fact, i strive to help people when i enjoy talking to them. Some people are not wired that way, in fact they only look at what they can get from you instead of trying to figure out what they can give. By giving you receive, but be careful of the takers. In fact, i will go as far to say this, I try to run my business in the same way. Giving a lot and only needing a little. Almost like I can operate at 110% efficiency. Giving out more then i am required to run - does that make any sense? I love that idea - it is a feel good way to go about life. I must admit, it has taken a good part of my life (34 now) to realize this. To me, life is about the journey and that journey is only as interesting as the people that are around you.

Thu, 04 Oct 2007 15:51:38 +0000 http://whatasavage.com/2007/10/01/community-its-everything/#comment-24338 I agree - how cool would it be to go to College now with laptops, iPods and $4 coffee? I actually spent an hour the other day prying a melted cassette tape out of our car stereo that had gotten stuck. It all came home when I realized that my life would be so much better if I just threw the stinking thing away. It's no longer with us. Ben O.
