“Hello there!

… just getting ready to watch a movie but I started thinking about you…so I thought I would send you a quick kite.

How are you feeling? Are you having a good year? Is your glass half full or half empty???

I thought I saw you at Yorkdale Mall on Saturday. Was that you? If so, did you recognize me?

I got a funny story for you …

So I was doing some winter shopping with my honey bunny or as she likes to say shopping till we drop. We were at it for a bit and were both getting hungry…we go to the food court.

Now here’s where it gets interesting …

I am looking for some empty seats but I don’t have my reading glasses. Well I had my sunglasses and they are prescription but since we were inside – lets just say things were a little blurry.

I find an area, collect Vero and start to walk. But something about that area of the food court seemed familiar… not dangerous but familiar. I get this image of you. As we walk towards our seats I look over to see but can’t tell her back is facing me. Plus I don’t have my glasses so I could be wrong. I decide to leave it along. My personality is the type that only engages if opportunity presents it … ‘only if our paths cross’. With that said - I don’t have any issues with helping karma along. So I sat in a way that might allow that to happen

A few minutes pass I am eating and gaffing. I start getting into my conversation. I look up and to my surprise I see (what I think is) you. It all happened so fast. My first instinct is to say: M-A-R-I-N-A!!! and give you a big hug - as I would any of my close friends.

But what if it was not you? Or jokes what if it was you but you did not recognize me… then all of a sudden my sweet and innocent image of me calling your name, running behind and giving you friendly hugs - catching up. Turned into - you screaming because some crazy guy is attacking you, shoppers tackling me, making citizen’s arrest and some fat guy sitting on me until mall security came. Plus I think I pictured kids also laughed at me - I kinda remember that. LOL!

Seriously!!!

In the end I decided the safest and most prudent course of action would be to send you a message. 2 see if that was you and to start the process of developing a friendship, so that if and when our paths should cross again, I won’t have to be worried for my safety

PS:

In all seriousness I had planned to contact you in late 09 regarding a business proposal/partnership but since Saturday (in my mind) has started forwarded movement. I had a question for you…

What do you want to be when you grow up? Your drive and creativeness explodes onto your profile. Where do you see yourself in 2 years? What about 5-10 years? What would make your life a success?

PSS:

Facebook is so crazy. A different kind of reality, most definitely …
