Have to make sure they’re fresh…

So today my boss brought in a mango and let me try it. I mentioned that it looks very similar to a prune (it was a bit on the ripe side). So later he sent me a link to a page on how to pick out mangos when buying them. Not sure why I thought of this, maybe because I woke up with sex on the brain, but when I read the first “rule” we’ll call it I couldn’t help but say: “You know this could be true for women too.” My boss chuckled and agreed. Thus continuing reading the page all I could do is think of the mango as a woman.

Selecting and Storing Mangoes

When selecting a mango there are a few key qualities to look for. Knowing when the mango will be used will help.

  • Look for a firm, unblemished skin, usually with bright colours.
  • If the mango is to be eaten that day, smell for a sweet, tropical ambrosial scent coming from the stem end. Give a light but firm squeeze. The flesh should have some give.
  • If the mango is being bought for later use, it should be firmer fleshed with a tight skin and its colour may be a little dull. To ripen, it should be kept at room temperature open to the air for several days.
  • The mango is ready to eat when the skin is brightly coloured, the flesh is soft and the aroma is sweet.
  • Mangoes should not be refrigerated during the ripening process.
  • Fully ripe mangoes can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.

As people wear buttons that say what political party they are for, college campuses need them for students. Maybe I’m not the most social person, but its really hard for me to go up to people and say “hi”. However, if everyone wore a button or something, maybe even one with specific colors determining categories of personal likes/dislikes. Like single people must have a base color of then can add different colors, I suppose could just be words but colors are easier to see at a glance except if your color blind, to indicate what your into. I suppose more thought would have to go into the ascetics but it would sure make it easier to pick out the single girls/guys who are into similar things you are and be able to go up to them and start talking to them with some confidence. Unlike now, you have to go up to them (which is hard in the first place) say all those awkward questions and answers to even find out if that person is even someone you’d want to associate with. Personally I’d like everyone to have some sort of wireless device that alerts you when someone has what you specify prior and so you can find them easier, but I guess that’s because I’m a total geek and like all those electronic stuff.

Anyways, I think its a good idea, I should get voted into something school related so I can put it into effect! VOTE FOR ME!
(I’m not really running for anything, it just makes a really good headline)

Lost, can you help me find my way….

Many people said I was crazy, and that it wouldn’t work. I truly didn’t want to believe it. However, I now see why they said it. People who go out and break up cannot be friends right afterwards. I thought I was different, I thought she was different. Apparently we are the same. Its partially my fault, and partially hers, although she may not think so. It’s hard to still tell that person everything on your mind. Part its because you think they might get you wrong, or think differently of you because of what your doing now. Although, I haven’t changed, in many ways she hasn’t changed. Although, our perception of each other has, and that seems to be the biggest conviction. Our reception of each other has changed so drastically that we don’t know who each other is. Of course there are friends who try to give advice, some is good some is bad, the hard part is the gardening, deciding the good from the bad. I tried my best to ignore everything that was said about her, because I truly didn’t care. After a time my perception of her changed, and I guess it didn’t agree with me. Just as now her perception has changed so much that now our friendship is null and void. At first I believed it was selfishness and greed. I still believe thats part of it, but I think its more that she loves me for who she saw me as before, and now thats different some how and she doesn’t like it and now doesn’t want to see me. In a way I can understand, if she is going to behave like this, I don’t want to see her either. I guess as time goes on, we can start again as friends once again. The lesson to learn is secrets are a powerful weapon, even if you don’t fire or don’t even believe its loaded, it still can hurt people. That’s the lesson that was learned from this, and I have learned from it, I hope she has learned as well. Possibly not from the same lesson, but perhaps from the same class. There will be a void in my life for the time until we can start again. Part of me hopes that void is with her as well, and part of me hopes there isn’t so she doesn’t dwell on that void and we may start again sooner. To me, forgive and forget is important and should be used more often then not. However, the forget part is much harder to do then the forgive. I forgive her, but I won’t forget for some time, and it sad that I feel this way. I may not be lost, but I still need help finding my way.
