reparations

as long as i could remember, i've never thought twice about giving somebody money.
guy rolls up saying hes on E and needs two dollars to get home, sure.
homeless guy asks for any help at all, here.
friends need a few dollars or a meal, why not.

my girlfriend says im too nice. but i like to think either i'll get it all back or that i've influenced that person to do something for the greater good.

i've hardly believed in the old church saying that if you "give and it shall be given unto you...good measure, pressed down, shaken together and runneth over."
hell, i dont even know what the last part of that even means. [multiplied i guess].
nor have i really believed in karma, good or bad.
i always just figured that you do things out of the goodness or evil from your heart. maybe i got some good down there somewhere.

point is: i been waiting on a check for about two months. it was only supposed to be 2 maybe 3 hundred dollars. and another one at the end of this month for maybe 9 hundred.
well today, i got a check. but not for either of the amounts i was expecting.

lets do some math. it i was expecting eh, 300. and at the end of this month 900. 3+9=12. so by now i should of had 12oo dollars, right?
so how...why did i get one that was double that?!

karma?
God and His shaking together stuff?
i'm not sure. i'm curious but not willing to ask any questions.
its already in my bank waiting to be spent...and saved. i figure i can keep at least 1ooo for this summer and other stuff. maybe 15oo if i'm feeling really good.

now, i can go get my tattoos and skates...and shoes...and clothes. =)!

oh happy day!
