A touch of Joe Dirt

Have you ever seen the movie Joe Dirt? If you haven't then do yourself a favor and watch it! That movie is brilliant in so many ways, ha!

If you have seen it, you'll probably remember the part where Joe talks about looking up at the moon and wondering if the person he is thinking about is looking up at the same moon at the exact same time, while thinking about him.

I sort-of had that same kind of thought tonight.

As I was driving back home from a wedding tonight, the sky was beautiful in so many ways. Even though it was dark and pushing midnight, there was a lightning storm way off in who-knows-where land. At first I thought it was storming in my part of the town but as I drove closer to home, there was no site of a storm.

My drive back home took right around 45 minutes. It's the one part of Interstate 485 that has 3 lanes and very little traffic. Which made it extra nice with the light show going on in the distance. In addition to the streaks of lightning going off in the distance, the moon was almost full. It was that moment when I had my Joe Dirt moment!

So... my question is; have you ever looked up at the moon and thought of someone and wondered what they're doing? It's not so much that I wonder if they are thinking about me while looking at the moon but then again, it has crossed my mind.

With the very popular social networking site of facebook, we can have a little more insight on what people are doing but it's a little deeper than a quick status update. It's more of wondering what they are doing in life, how they got to where they are now and wondering if they ever think about you in any kind of way. And wondering what their thoughts of you are.


I even think about people that I've never met before. For example, tonight at the wedding, I saw lots of people. I didn't know a single person but a few faces were highlighted in my memory. That usually comes from doing something like speaking or wearing something that catches your eye. So I often wonder... will I ever see that person again in life? After the person leaves that wedding, what lifestyle will they be going back to? That sort-of stuff.


If you really only knew all the stuff that I wonder about...
