Ella Servadio — Blog 9

I don’t really know what to talk about in this blog, but I just want to get them done. I don’t want to have to worry about them anymore. So last night, I went to a funeral. A close family friend lost his dad to cancer. The service was good. The preacher said something that really stuck with me. He had written a poem about the guy being a good man. After he said, “If one day your preacher can stand at your funeral and say ‘he was a good man’ or ‘she was a good woman,’ you’ve done something right in your life.” That really struck a cord with me, and it made me start thinking. I started to wonder if I have done anything in my life for someone to say that I am a good person. I try my best to be a good person, but I know I fall short sometimes. We all do. But anyway, after the service everyone went to the race track because that is where he wanted his ashes spread. He loved racing. He raced from 15 until he was in his 40’s. All of his racing friends that still had their cars made a lap in his honor. It was cool, but it was sad at the same time. Enough with the sad though. I’m starting to get really bored sitting at the house all the time, but there is nothing else for me to do. I would go to the pool, but there’s people building a deck and stuff beside it. Also, they are about to pour more concrete, so I can’t really get around to it. It stinks because it feels so good outside. All I want to do is layout and swim. Also, this website will not let me comment on people’s blogs anymore. I can’t figure out why. I tried logging out and logging back in, but that did not work. So I really don’t know what I’m supposed to do about commenting. I haven’t really commented much, so now I’m really stressed that I won’t get that part done. I’ve gotten most of the book work done. I’m in the middle of chapter two. So I’m hoping these comments start working, so I can get it all finished. If any of you know how I can get them to work please let me know!
