We also talked about ROCK!

I don't know if I was strong back then...it took me until now to realize that yes, maybe there's strength underneath my sensitivity. And yes, you're right that I was sensitive and yes, now that you mention it, I do believe I tried to kiss ya. :)<br />I remember you mostly in art class... I always sat with you and James (Goetz, was it?) and I always tried to talk with you about deep stuff. That's how I remember you the most. And even though I was loud (was I vulgar back then too? Eek... I know I can be NOW but I accept that I am and quite enjoy it!) I do remember always finding something more interesting about the quieter people (you) and wanting to delve into their heads. It's those who are quiet and deep that are sometimes more interesting than the people who are boisterous. <br />Thank you, my friend... It's always nice when someone has a memory he's willing to share. And no, this definitely doesn't embarrass me. <br />J.

I think I was...You always struck me as a tough kid. I think I was actually afraid of you that first time I met you in youth group at Temple Israel. You weren't mean really....just ... strong. I was kind of intimidated maybe, so I think you had it in you from an early age. Strength that is. And at that age (I think we were 7-8-9?) it's difficult to define the difference between strength and weakness. People say that bullies are that way out of weakness or fear (no you weren't a bully). Class clowns clown around as a defense. But it takes some humanity and will to create these mechanisms at an early age. <br /><br />I remember you kept targeting me as a kissing post. Hahhaha...I pretended to be quietly affronted, but I actually enjoyed it. You'll have to excuse my memory. It's extremely sharp.<br /><br />Then when we became friends in Junior High, I caught your sensitive side even though I still saw you as a tough kid. Loud, vulgar and tough. I guess that's what I admired about you as I was relatively quiet (depending on the circumstance) and anything but tough. I thought of myself as overly sensitive. I wonder how you saw me. I don't expect other people to have vivid memories though. <br /><br />God, all this self discovery. I think I'll Skype my old shrink in New York.jdbauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260839716936213353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844639497618043639.post-37109124159450920352010-04-06T12:02:55.061-04:002010-04-06T12:02:55.061-04:00As the good witch of OZ said,you've always had...As the good witch of OZ said,you've always had a heart,a brain & courage.It's been there all along.you just had to know it.<br />love <br />momAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
