I've recently read a blog written by a friend of mine who lives many states away, but I still stay in contact with through the wonder of technology—mainly Facebook. Her blog was entitled, "Things you might want to know…" As I read the blog and even reread it, I realized that there are just some things that throughout your entire life, you may never know about someone.
While my southern friend and I are no longer restaurant co-workers, her friendship helped me become the person I am today. I am a firm believer that everyone I come in contact with can have a positive or negative affect on who I am. With that being said, I wonder what it is about those around me that I don't know. Furthermore, do they know me? Do they care? But more importantly, can I do something that I really don't ever do, let people know the real me?
Well, buckle up, because I'm about to throw caution to the wind and let you know more about me than you'd ever want to know. I've used some of the questions from "Things you might want to know…" but I assure you the answers are 100 percent all mine! So let the random thoughts begin.
