i'd thought i'd just share a thought that's popped into my mind now and then. i've found it rather unpleasant that the air that passes through someone else's body is then emitted, either through a burp or the other way, into my personal space. why can't we just have invisible shields to put up around us like they do on star trek? the smell is one thing, but the thought of then breathing that air into my lungs makes me want to send my stomach contents back their way. i don't know why sharing this makes me feel better other than to make people consider others before releasing gas into the air around them.

i do release my share of air, but i try not to do it in public...especially when sitting in a concert or church or somewhere that those around me will have to breathe it in. butt...to my family...i will truly try to start doing better. shayla's called me on it when i tell her not to belch and then i open my mouth to talk and what comes out but the air built up from my coke?! after all, the definition in the devil's dictionary for politeness is "the most acceptable hypocrisy".
thanks for letting me air my thoughts where you can breathe them without actually inhaling them.
