05:26 pm: Do you remember.....
Greetings again,

Ok, so after yesterday's long live journal and hopefully I had touched a few people that read this. I started thinking about a few things. Have you ever noticed how somethings we take for granted in our daily lives, meant the world to us so long ago. For example, when you kiss your kids or wife or husband, boyfriend or girlfriend, even the dog, you don't really think about it. You just do. Well of course, unless your trying to get something more then a kiss from your wife, in my sitution. You know what I mean.

If you think about it now, it all started with that first kiss. That first embrace with destiny. The first etch in your life's history;for many to come. Most people don't think about now, so hopefully I drummed up some good memories and times that you forgot about so long ago.

Well on that idea of memory lane, I would like to introduce another thought if you will. So I begin with saying; do you remember the first scary movie you saw?

I shall start off with saying; I sure in the hell do! I love scary movies, not knowing what's going to happen next. Sitting at the edge of your seat suspense. The thrill of the unknown, waiting, sitting, antisapating, what is going to happen next. Please, let me tell you about my first in counter with this paticular movie. It dates back to 1984. Nightmare on Elm Street....

Obviously, around 84 timeframe, my brother, moms and me whet to see this movie. I am not sure if this was my first scary movie but, its the most memorible one, so I am sticking to this one, as my first.

So there we were, not knowing what the hell is going on. All we know is that we are hanging out with MOM's eating popcorn, drinking some soda and waiting for the movie to start. Of course, the opening credits started and all three of us are focused and excited. From what I remember the blonde girl, who was sleeping in her pink shirt and panties in her room. For my brother and I, all what we really got was a mother trying to cover up our eyes. Needless to say our male hormones kicked in and the biggest smile came across our faces or at least inside I was smiling.

There we were, eating and drinking, trying to fight mother on what the hell was going on, then we noticed the man, Freddy Kruger. Some of the parts were fuzzy, but we did notice this girl crawling up the room and mind you, not like spider-man would do but, what it looks like is being dragged. Well we all know she was. The the slashing started to commense. Blood spurting out all over the place, my mom then screams, then my brother screams, then I scream. With out a thought in my mind, I see MOM's running out the door. The I looked at my brother, then we bolted. "MOM, MOM wait for us!!!!"......

That was it. We didn't see that movie until we were alot older and wiser. To this day, mom and I, laugh about it. Mom, what the hell were you thinking. Just leaving your kids out there in the movie theater all by themselves....Funny isn't it.

So I ask all of you; do you remember your first scary movie? I sure do and it still freaks me out, a little bit.

Take care....Greg

04:54 pm: What's up Everyone....
Hey People,

So here I am typing away about, what? What shall I say? Do I talk about my past? The friends I once knew or the people have I have been with in my life? Or do I talk about the people that mean the most to me or have touched my very soul? So much to say and don't know where to begin.

Well like everyone else in this world, it started on May 18th, 1975. Around 1146 pm, so I think. I would have been out sooner, if it wasn't for my twin that kicked me out of the way first. So there we were, crying like everyone else. Of course, everyone was crying or yelling because we were so ugly...Hahhaha. No really, I don't remember much of my first years, but really who does. I just thought it would sound good. So where to begin, this wonderful journey into my life. Like most, lives they all have their ups and downs, so why do people bother. Bother with reading this or any other journal? I can tell you why and I am not doctor to say the least. It's cause people are either bored with their life, curious able someone else's life, or just cause. Actually, I go with just cause, that is the blanket for all answers to those buring questions in life. So just because I will begin!

Begin by saying, how many of you all remember the first time you kissed someone? I mean, what it meant at that time in your life. What were the reasons? Did it just happen? Was it out of love or just wanted to try it out, just to see what's all the hype is about? I actually don't remember that far back or the reason but, I remember I felt something deep down inside of me that sparked. Of course, everyone on this plant knows what I am talking about so I won't go any further. My question to you is? That first kiss, did that set the standard in life? Was that the peak? The perfection? Actually, no. We learn from our experiences and make things better. Again, everyone knows what I am talking about, so no need to continue.

The question, still remains;do you remember your first kiss? I do. Do you?

Her name was, Leslie. I was around, if I remember this right, 10 or 11. She had freckles, big glasses and reddish long hair. She was a girl down the street I went to school with. I was living in Orange Co. at the time, about 15 mins from the Brea Mall. We were sitting behind some bushes so no one could see us.I moved over to her, like a romance movie of all movies, closes my eyes and planted. I remember it like yesterday.

They say you never forget your first, some of you will and some of you don't want to ever remember. That's fine. I can tell you this, that was moment that touch my soul and will never forget.

So now, I leave a little thought in your mind for all that read this.... Remember your first, remember your last, remember everything! Being in the military taught me something. People come and go in this world, but memories last for your entire life. Keep them, cherish them, embrace them.

Well I hope everyone had a fun time reading. I am signing off....Greg
