Avoid the Obvious

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!
I have always been 
fascinated by the past, 
even before 
I spent so much 
of my life there. 








" You cannot escape 
the responsibility 
of tomorrow 
by evading it 
today. "
                   Abraham Lincoln










People who are tall
have heard the jokes
before.

Why would You
want to be
the 439,95763,374,650th
'wit' to call her 'Shorty'
or inquire as to the 
Weather 'up there'?

The guy with the broken arm
probably does NOT 
want to tell you
the story again.

People who are different
from You,
different Race Gender Culture
Clothing Style Slogans
are MORE than
that difference!

They are NOT
walking examples
of something you
believe.

They are not
a characteristic.
They are a human.

Children stare.
Mature people
Welcome.

Grow Up!

Then come goof around
here in a delightfully
immature way :)
                       Fondly, cloudia

    Must be kind of boring to not be to tall, to fat, to short, to skinny, to off beat, on beat, hip, not hip, personally I just hide behind my beard so no one can see what part of me to jab. All I know is my short friends like it when i use their heads as a leaning post, makes them feel needed.

    Yeah, I very seldom joke with complete strangers. The jokes that occur to me are likely to be cliche to them.

    The only tall people I know always make jokes about short people .. Height is without doubt one of those things where size does NOT matter :) so says shorty moi :)

    somewhat sobering, they are more than that difference...i like the push to look beyond the obvious though...people are far more than what we take them for...

    aloha from va.

    I have a friend in England who is 6'7" and everyone notices him when you walk in somewhere - but he does get a lot of pints bought for him in pubs so it balances out!
