09.14.2001 Entry: "The cowboy life"
 Sometimes I wonder why I have such an attraction to the cowboy life. Maybe its because my grandfather was one of those real cowboy type of guys. I always looked up to him while growing up and wanted to be like him when I grew older. I’m told I look like my grandfather, but then again that’s when I wear my cowboy hat and plaid cowboy shirt. I remember as a kid always wanting to look at my grandfather’s collection of Time Life books on the Wild West. Every time I went to visit him I would get them out and stare in fascination at all the cool pictures. Every morning as I drive to work at 5:45am I watch the sun rise over the mountains and a part of me feels this emptiness. That’s when I wish I had grown up on the plains raising cattle. Waking up to the morning sun and saddling up my horse for a days work. I know one day I’m going to retire and live this life but for now I’m just going to work hard a save up for this dream of mine.

I know what you mean. About the emptyness. I figure everyone longs for something. It's a universal plague but maybe that unites us. Everybody can understand eachother one this one level.
