rain, time and a turtle

I just came from the Petco. I was thinking of buying a turtle. But I think I have to save up for its tank.

Turtles are slow like fine wine and time. And when something unpleasant comes along all they have to do is hide and disappear-that easy. Plus they live long. That's why I like turtles. :)

It rained today. Rain once again in the desert. Cause sometimes we all just need a good cry.

I know from Sex and the City that a guy, if he is interested in a girl, will find a way to get to her and spend time with him. These guys never fail. Right when you are thinking if their thinking of you, you see a sign that he is. And he tells you the next time he sees you how he was thinking of you and missing you. They never fail to call the times they say they were gonna call. And if both of you have a mutual understanding, sometimes there are no words left, you just know what he's doing- and that he is behaving for and you and that everything is ok. Believe it or not there are true gentlemen like that. In contrary, maybe if they say they couldn't make it today is because they really couldn't make it. And you know them enough to know why. Despite your diappointment, you sit and understand the situation.

Time is precious. What happens when one person has more time for the other and the other has less to give, given the circumstance that the person that has less time in their hands devotes what little time is left to the other person. And the other person just can't seem to make it all the time cause the time they have free isn't free when the other person is. Did this person who is less available to the one that devotes most of what little time they have not miss or want to even see them? Is it a waste of time? Or is it a lack of time? Time is precious and given what little time can be given it's the intention of the time well spent and devoted to the person that counts.

What good is having all the time in the world when you spent it with someone just because they were there and available; when you could have a few minutes with someone you know waited a whole week to plan and devote that time to only you? But what good is planning for the precious minutes of time when the person you were prepairing time for is carelessly unavailable?
