For No Reason

I found a penny in my tip jar... I find lots of pennies in my tip jar. People just throw their change into the tip jar, no one bothers to really check it... No one bothers to look at pennies to closely anyway. Of all the coins, it seems that pennies are the most overlooked. People don't care about one measely cent... And yet, a penny for your thoughts? Some one must have cared for this particular penny, because neatly engraved on it next to the bust of Lincoln was a heart, and inside the heart read the words "I LOVE YOU". The penny was warn, it was from the mint of 1974, which made me wonder just how long ago some one had enscribed that on the penny. It made me wonder why they did that, and if that penny had succeeded in buying someone's heart...

hmmm...

And people think pennies aren't worth anything.

we all wonder about things like that time to time. Experiences like that come across us many times, except probably in different forms. Oh wells..

*eats a penny*

Morgan, I couldn't agree with you more...why do we over look the simple things in life? Have we become so busy with our lives that we don't take time to "see" anymore? Thanks for the insight...

Pennies From Heaven

Oh, I found a penny yesterday in the parking lot...in my spare time I am a money collector.

Not to be a spoil sport... (Eyes Luz.. < Whacks! > her back..) But a penny like that was mass engraved.. sold in hundreds, etc. Mystery spender would have done better to buy romance coupons, etc. (BTW.. put a $ 1.00 bill in your tip jar.. old waitress tip.. might get more soft money that way.)

I am sending you two pence.

Oh well, you know it figures Espernaut, there's very little special things you can find by accident...

four leaf clovers...

only in fairy tales

flower seeds..
(I'm not giving up on you yet.)

not if you hate gardening... I'm not really an earthy type person.

.. small key to someone's heart...

hmmmm... and these are found randomly by accident...

hmmm

... well maybe ...

although sometimes it's more likely you'll find a four leaf clover.

well yes, that's what's making this post so eff'ing difficult for me to hold onto. "accident". (wink)

😛

Perhaps this is when the words "fate", "destiny", "miracle", or "really big coincidence" kick in.

Ok.. I'm bending the rules. One can only do so much with the accidental/nature concept.. The original penny idea was good.. in that someone gave it to someone else.

Where are you going with this fate, destiny concept?

ok... fine... So we are now talking about creating something special... Which is good... Except you told me that it wasn't special, cause it was mass produced.

I dont know... I was just thinking how if anything really special happens, people usually say it's destiny or something.

I erred.. Someone "bought it" with a good idea in mind. I'm sure the other person was deeply touched. People can do heartfelt things w/o cost as well.. the clover, etc. I like little silly things. Someone gave me a Pez dispenser, for no reason.. it was a very nice gesture. I've gotten crossword books, erase-a-sketch, and jacks for people.. just for fun. Just cheapy crap items, but they meant something to that person.

Ok.. perhaps I'm thinking too far ahead.. I meant friends, and you're probably referring to the soulmate thing.

OK... I do know what you mean... I love buying litte things like that for people... That's why I really never have any money... I'm always buying stupid crap like that...

ok... if we are talking about the sould mate thing... would it have to be a destiny type deal?

I'm very confused as to what we are actually discussing now.

You're not alone.

You want the really nitty gritty of it all? I saw your original post and thought.. you were really down, or jaded..
then the sucessive ones (and like.. mine helped, eh? not).. only seemed to emphasis your disparity.

I feel special now.

Hmm... I was down when I posted it I think... That's what happens when you're stuck all alone at home for days at end with only the walls to talk to... You start overanalyzing stupid things you find all around you...

See, you were right, over analyzing is bad.

We're not gonna join hands and sway here? Are we now?

lol... cyberly...

So.. why all the free time? or do we not go there?

just summer, my job's only part time, cann't get a full time one, no one will hire me, and I don't have a car so I'm stuck... Because I live in the middle of nowhere... Actually, technically, that's the next town over about twenty minutes down the road (it takes twenty minutes to get anywhere, which means the mall because that's the only place there is to go and I'm very disillusioned with that place, in fact, it gives me head aches).

I'm stumped. You actually put it all in somber perspective.

I have a way of doing that... Yes... I've got a Capricorn Rising...

No full time jobs? No cashier? etc? The Mall's out as far as working there.. (well, I guess it would be, at that.)

No... they won't hire me for the full time cause I'm not 18 until august... It's a legal issue I guess...

Oh.. 2 months. That's not so long. Uhm..60 days, 1440 hours or just 86,400 minutes. Not so long that. Ooh, lookit.. 85,399 minutes now. Man, it's really flyin for you. 😉

two months... my bday's the 18th, and I move out on the 25th, not really a reason to look for a long term job around here.

Staying nearby or no? Roomin' with buddies or no?

going to college dorm, three and a half hours from home by car, five by train.

I'd forgotten. You'll like it. On the edge of the precipice. Or abyss.. depending how you look at it. Life's going to get a lot more fun. Imagine the wider diversity of freaks and geeks to rub elbows with? It's dizzying, I tell ya.

lol yes geeks... I had my own personal enterage of geeks in high school... very cool...

And literally, it's on the edge of a river (the Charles River in Boston).

I think I'd like to see Boston. "posh" and Boston, seem to be similiarly associated in my mind. As in attitude.. upscale,etc. All the history about you, etc. (I liked Philadelphia, on a visit) I can imagine Boston would be a blast to explore. There really is a "Cheers" bar.. there, I hear. (for what that's worth...)

i say etc too much. I was drooling.. basically.

lol... I actually liked philadelphia more than I like boston... Boston's smaller... But yeah, it's pretty cool, it's got some good spots, and the history is a huge part down in the historic distrect or along the freedom trail... do you know about the Freedom Trail?

No I don't, but I'm sure we were trying to copy it. We have a "Creole Nature Trail" here.. (that means.. "swamp"). Tell me about it?

The Freedom Trail is a red painted line on the side walks which if followed will bring you to all the main historic sights in the city... Paul Revere's house, the old north church, sea port, quincy market, various grave yards, excetera.

See, that's the way to do it. We don't have any "visible" (to me anyway..) history here. No land breaking deceisons were made.. and so on and so on.

Morgan.. I have a slight problem.. A phone call I can not put off. I'll be on the side for about 5 minutes.. Back when I can. I enjoy this.

lol... I'll be waiting... 😉

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

ok... maybe I won't be here if you come back... I have an increasingly small attention spand... Oh well...
