Dear Friends,
Wouldn't it be weird if this was not your first shot at life. Like, for example, what if it was your third. The third time you were living your life. Third time you met all the people you have met in your life. Third time you had a chance to make a good decision...or a bad one...that would effect the rest of your life. What's even weirder is if this is your third...is there gonna be a fourth? And in that fourth year...do you get another chance to make that decision? We live our lives with a lot of questions but, one that is answered quite regularly is...that God created us..(or we came from apes...either way you want to look at it). But, let's take the God way of thinking just for argument's sake. Now they say we are created in God's image. Well, I think up kookie, crazy stuff all the time...so does that mean God could to? Why not. Why couldn't He be creative enough to think up something like this. To give people second, third or even fourth shots at completely what they were meant to do on earth. Meet who they were meant to meet. Or even more over....let's look at it a differant way. When I meet people that come to be good friends of mine I develope what I could only explain as a 'connection' with them. Sometimes I can tell as soon as I meet someone...what kind of person they are and whether or not we will be good friends. All of you probably know what I am talking about. But, the thought I have is....I love these people..my friends and family. But, what I love most about them is sharing our everyday lives together. The Pains, the troubles...the good times and the bad times. Going through these experiences is what gives me the memories that I cherish. Well, when we all go to heaven...there won't be any more bad times. There won't be anymore problems. It will just be peace and happiness....all the time. Which don't get me wrong..I won't complain but, somehow I feel like I will miss the world we live in. I will miss fighting....I will miss hoping. I will miss anticipation...and suspence. I will miss the chill down my spine that I get when something amazing happens to me. I will miss my spine. I will miss that in one second I could change my life for the entirety of it. That is a rush. Life is a rush. Maybe lot's of people out there don't agree with me and that's fine. No one EVER said you had to. But, in regards to what I wrote earlier, I ask you this...when we die...what happens to people like me? Do we just give in to peace and happiness or do we get to become Scott Bakula and Quantum Leap back through time and start over again? Do we just get to keep enjoying life...but, in differant time periods and as differant people?
Funny what kinda thoughts you think up when you are sitting in trafic for an hour.
Of course if we all came from monkeys then none of this really even matters now does it. But, that would explain the excessive hair I have obtained throughout my body :o)
This is Anthony #3 saying love you guys....and in the next life...and the next life....and the next life.....

Dear Friends.....
Anthony is a little bit older now, a little bit wiser. But let's face it, he still has crazy thoughts that should probably be put in writing. So "Dear Friends..." has made a roaring comeback. :)
