Unfamiliar Ground

Most people enjoy familiar company.  Rarely does someone like to be in a new place where they are the outsiders.  When the situation is flipped, you look upon an outsider as if they do not belong, and you could care less whether they are comfortable or not.  I believe this thought is the main reason we feel so uncomfortable in a new environment; we know what those other people are thinking.  We see the harsh eyes strike our appearance, judging every aspect of how we look, talk, and act.  The locals, as you may call them, do not look the least bit friendly.  As the outsider, we try to find one friendly face, just to receive a simple smile to know that we are still human.  There has been instances where this smile never comes, but there have also been instances where you meet a new person on a common basis.  I feel as if this is very rare, but since it is such a rare phenomenon, it also seems very premature.  This happened to me recently.  I did not receive any smiles, but something more.  I saw an object that made me feel so comfortable and so welcome that I could sit back and relax in this different crowd.  The object struck me by surprise.  I had never seen such a thing in my entire life, but this could not have been a better time to see it.  This object was a book, but it was not a novel, more like a guide to success.  In my eyes, if I could somehow have this book in my possession, my wealth as a person would greatly increase.  My knowledge on an important subject would jump to incredible heights.  The funny thing is, this guide, Blogging for Dummies, would help me to help you.  I would increase my ability to share my thoughts with the outside world, which I know all of you are longing for.  So in a sense, it would be one of the most selfless things I have ever done, and trust me, that is saying a lot.  But I have bad news.  I could not possess this book, so I must try my best to give you all I have and just hope that it is enough.  Knowing that everyone of you out there is selfish, I feel that my best efforts are like new hair cuts, no matter how hard you try to like it, it just does not satisfy you.  So technically I should rename this blog The New Haircut, but I just cannot do that.  Sorry again.  But this blog style is a new one for me.  Ted was not involved.  Do not expect more of this, for it is a one time thing.  For I will not place you in unfamiliar ground ever again.  Your welcome.
