Friends. When we have them we think they'll be around for good. But one day something changes and {poof} gone. I didn't notice when it�happened so I can't say who-what-when or why but as of today I believe these friends have moved into the backseat of my life.
My thoughts right now are: What kind of friend was I? Am I doing this intentionally?

Talladega Alabama was the next port for of call for the Jeff Gordon Racing School.� We left Concord about 12:30 and arrived in Talladega about 8 pm.� It was a little late to go to the race track so we went directly to the hotel.� Arriving at the hotel is usually pretty uneventful.� Well not this time.� At first glance it looked like a scene from Animal House.� Most of the doors on the hotel rooms were open, people had had chairs outside and were hanging out on the balcony and there were kids every where.� When I got to my room there was a 2 year in his diaper outside playing with a paper plate and a very large black bug!!!!� Come to find out that the hotel was housing people who had been evacuated from the hurricanes in Louisiana.� When we returned from the track on Thursday everyone was gone.� They must have been cleared to return home.�
I want to ask that everyone vote NO on Prop. 8.

地板师傅
�
我家的地板该保养了, 地板油公司用提供免费服务的方法推销他们的产品. 我做了准备上钩的鱼, 答应她们派师傅上门服务. 下午一点我开门, 一个瘦弱的男孩拎着一大箱的工具和地板油, 站在我面前. “我应该管您叫阿姨吧?” 我说, 叫啥都没问题. 我说: “不好意思, 中午我忙着吃点东西, 没提前在这候着, 让你在大门外多等了一会”. 他说: “对不起, 实际上是我早到了一会.” 我问他吃饭了吗, 他说 “没来得及.” �
他的工作服后背上印着显眼的‘地板师傅’四个大字吸引了我的视线. 20年前我曾经研究过社会阶级阶层, 还真无法想象如今的社会分工都精细到地板这个层次了. 他态度谨慎, 动作小心, 喷洒涂抹, 一板一眼. 他边干边聊家常, 今年21岁, 是安徽人, 干这活有几年了, 他得卖掉地板油才会赚到钱. 我说我明白, 免费服务一般来说不成立. 家里还有不少地板油, 如果我满意他的活, 我会考虑用他们公司专业服务. 听到我说会 “考虑”, 男孩本来自然的脸不由地紧绷了起来. 涂完油后要晾干一会才可以抛光, 他立在厅里等. 我说 “我给你买点面包, 吃完再干”. 他说: “不用了, 公司有规矩, 不许吃客户的东西”. 我说: “你可以坐在沙发上休息一会. 公司总不能剥夺你坐一会的权利吧?” 他说 “我不能坐下, 因为坐下以后, 再站起来继续干就有些困难.” 显然失望的情绪增加了他的饥饿和疲惫感. 空着肚子渴望做成的生意现在希望渺茫, 他连站起身得力气都没了. 他板着淌汗的脸, 尽量让我看不出来他的沮丧.
一小时的活干完了, 我很满意地看着干净光亮的地板. “我得卖掉地板油才会赚到钱.” 他开始收拾东西时又小心地强调了一次. “谢谢你, 我要六盒地板油.” 那张紧绷的脸终于松弛了下来. 他似乎不相信地说, “东北人做决定真是痛快. 我今天挣到了60元!” 我对他说, “年轻人, 你知道东北人家并不缺地板油, 东北人是想让你知道, 只要你坚持认真干活的态度, 就不会白干, 总是有回报的.”
That's all! This summer had ended, but I can't say, that I'm upset about it. It was maby the best time in my life...but now...more meeting with friends, more work for me
My love...I don't understand anything about him and about me. I's very hard for me? but I can't sat, that I've dissapointed in him.I want to see him,hug and kiss, but...another question:what wants he.
