plus or minus
goodbyes are funny. and hellos are even worse.
maybe society has marginalized them on purpose.
but they are so great at the same time
a hello can be like opening a good book.
and a goodbye is like finishing one.
a proper greeting is a rare find nowadays. when was the last time you shook someones hand with some authenticity? maybe not so long ago. kudos. did you say goodbye to your friends before they disappeared after high school? i bet you wish you did. at least.
but this is a tangent of what i was originally thinking about. i was thinking more an abstract level. lets say you are in an accident and you lose some limbs. you dont have a funeral for your pole vault career. a time you set apart where you say goodbye to your trophies and track and fellow athletes as athletes. why. cause that would be really hard. its like a little part of you dying. you to just move on and try not to think about it. i would guess that, that, that it would be better to let it go? but what if its not that concrete? you cant say goodbye. im a hopeful person spinning my wheels and burning petrol.
faith will be the end of me.
you can take that however you like.
I've said goodbye to a few mind-sets* -cant think of the right word. and im wondering if everyone else is this way, weather they understand and forsake these ideals or maybe they legitimately feel they don't apply. i hope i'm not throwing values and morals out, or i don't care. im not sure. if i knew if they applied i could say for certain. i guess ive been taking a second look at my position. *this will carry on to tangent idea on the next post.
goodbye?
or maybe i will just not think about it.

Hey man, I have thought alot about those hello's and goodbyes' more in the sense the way you started the blog. i have started calling them empty handshakes, its really annoying when the only time you get a handshake is at church or somethin like it and all you get is a cold shake
i hate empty handshakes. its like toast that turns out to be just bread. old crusty bread that looks like toast. note to the general public. shake my hand with some grip. that is all. and mikes too.
Word.
I think I view those other goodbyes as hellos due to my optimistic personality maybe.
loose a limb, take up hopscotch.
Mourn polevaulting?.. maybe a good idea if that would help me realize it's not coming back.
parallel: confirm Faith has become the death of me.
Take that as you like.
