It's Been Real

LOL today I bring to you the great illustrious, Pam McGregor.

We all clapped and Pam took the stage at the podium. And adjust the microphone. being kind of short. She has to stand on a stool, a step stool. "So I am here today." She cleared her throat. Then a booming voice came out of her to tell everyone, "In my chosen way that these years were very meaningful and I presume. They will be foremost in our memories for the rest of our lives. The friendships we had in high school. I hear reverberate through our lives and hopefully. Our friendships will remain so even if we move to different states have different relationships, families and jobs careers, and we can root each other on along the way. So we're also thanks goes out to the teacher's, staff faculty and administration of this wonderful school, St. Vincent's.

Pam came down off the podium office stage and looked around for family members and they went and got in the car and left. The rest of us sort of milled around mingling with each other, saying our last Goodbye. After the graduation for the year of 1990 I got in my parents car when it was all finished. Then I remembered what my mentor our teacher had told me that I can do great things and I really have a lot of skills. To offer to the world and talent. I was thinking when I got home. I would review all my applications for college. That appeared in my mailbox recently and I thought which school will I go to. Will my parents pay for it then my sister? Grab the pencil in the car and pretended. She had a microphone and said I want to say shut up and then start laughing. I was like. Oh yeah, gotta that Pam, you know, but um anyway, so we're all here now. This is 25 years later, and now We are sitting in the backyard of our parents house where we grew up and went to school. And we're looking at how our lives have changed since then and what different paths we're taking, routes to get where we are now and along the way. What happened and the relationships we had along the way and who we're with now and how things are for each sibling? So I personally am not really having much of a successful life although I'm happy to have an apartment of my own. And a friend that lives nearby. So I'm not lonely. I mean, those are the 2 things that are good in my life. And the money I get from the government. I never really took the route of college. Although even after all these years I tried again and but I don't feel wanted. These people have heard things about me and they don't want me in their school. But I am happily living with a modest means and. I'm doing okay with help from my family and the food pantry down the street with inflation, just starting to rise like a rate so I have never seen. I have fear a little bit. That already a third of my food benefits are gone that I received monthly and I've gone on 2 shopping trip so far. 2/3, I mean.

I'm looking forward to the future. Although I don't want, you know, the future to happen. Really seeing is what happens at the end of people's lives and etc. I don't really know how to embrace these facts. But I have a important quote. I read in A. Magazine at the library down the street.That said, they look forward to death because it's like a reward at the end of a life well lived and I really support that it's like go toward it.Whole-heartedly, don't fear it or sideways or circle.So that's my story.Thank you.

Okay. I see that I have more space and time to fill in word count so I will write a little parable. How were you? How old were you when the rocket ship exploded? I forgot what the name was of it was but I was in French class and they replayed the video. In that class over and over and I that means I was 12, or 13 I think, but um so yeah, that's quite the same. I mean, the thing about what I don't understand I know I just said, like just go towards death on without fearing it. But I honestly really do fear death and try to stay away from any circumstances that would. Bring it about so with my new e bike. I really think I have to take precaution since most of my time. While riding is figuring out the gears, whether it's on the electric part or not are, if I'm peddling what kind of neighborhood I'm in if I should be able to go fast and/or not. Cause. I really don't want to scare people. Or I don't want to be like these like some e bikes which just go right behind you on the sidewalk. I don't even ride in a sidewalk. So thank you for listening.Have a nice day.

No, 100 more words, I mean, so it's been a nice summer here in Albany, New York. I'm in Albany, New York unabashedly. And we are having a pride fest this Sunday. It's really hot and humid. There's thunderstorms, it's if anyone who tells me I. Have bad weather in new upstate, New York. It really has it wrong, although the snow and ice is annoying during the winter and it does get really cold and bitter feeling out in the weather outside during the winter. But, thank you for listening.

To that too but I don't know what else to say.I'm just listening to music.Have a nice time.I just ate my food which is kinda dry.I have to put more sauce in the spaghetti and meat sauce meal.Thank you.
