can someone explain what each phrase means...

Artie answers:

What didn't get enough attention in the other section?

Betty asks…

Should I continue with this book...it's very different but I think it's pretty cool...?

So I'm just going to paste in the intro and 1st chapter...please be honest, but be SPECIFIC in your comment...thanks so much

Intro…basically so you don’t start reading and scratch your head and go “huh?”

The Philosophy:
In philosophical terms, we all bump into each other and are each other's passers by. We sometimes believe there is fate, however, the truth might be our life has a million possibilities and there is no destined route.
Our parents bumped into each other at a unique time and unique place, so there are us... Every day, we pass by people, opportunities, familiar streets and unfamiliar information. We pass by them all, yet we sometimes choose to pay no attention. The question is, what if we stop, what if we speak with a passer by on the street? Will things change? Will our entire life change? Sometimes it will, this is for sure.~Some Random Person Online (http://flickr.com/photos/11983192@N00/767368058)

Have you ever thought about that? About how when you meet someone for the first time it could actually be the 200th time that you have crossed paths. That there's such a slim chance that you will find your soul mate, and how there are a million options that you make per day (for instance, if you weren’t reading this book, then what would you be doing right now?...). That every face you see in a crowd has their own story, their own life, their own problems, their own dreams, their own family and friends. And how everybody's life is intertwined, by the small things we do every day. I know that it sounds corny but what you do really can effect some random person halfway across the world. Also, about how many different people have touched the money that you hold, about how many people have stood where you stand? About how many people had to work to provide the shirt that you are wearing right now (if you are wearing one ;) ...). Just think...

The Story:
So basically there’s a street. It doesn’t matter where and it doesn’t matter when. But if you really care that much and you can’t read without knowing, then we’ll say that the street is called Chestnut Oak Drive. It’s in whatever state you want it to be in. It takes place somewhere in the early 21st century. But the concept can apply to any street. Whether there are two hundred people walking by or ten, it doesn’t matter. Each face has its own story. Its own pain, hardships, opinions, goals, achievements, secrets, and more. It’s just whether or not we choose to care that matters. Now obviously I’m not asking you to go up to every person you walk by and ask them what their life story is. You’d probably get hit in the face with a purse. What I’m asking is that next time you walk down the street, or stare out the window on a highway, just think for a second about all the stories that are rushing by your eyes.
Overwhelming?
Yes.
But if you don’t, then what will you miss out on?

Footsteps:
There’s no character in this book that’s more important than another. Believe me, if I could then they’d all be at the exact same place in the book and no one would come first or last. But alas, that is physically impossible, and also incredibly confusing. So instead I’m titling each of these stories “Footsteps.” PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE feel free to read them out of order. In fact, you get an imaginary gold star if you do so. Just open the book to a random page and read about these extraordinary people. Extra-ordinary. They are regular people, yet every regular person is actually amazing. So start to walk down the road. Whether it’s Chestnut Oak Drive, or some other street, just walk and see where it takes you.

Daron
Alone in the life
He meets many other souls
Who come to be
Unfit for the lonely soul
The lonely soul wanders

As the days pass by
The lonely soul became
More lonely, with no other
souls as his companion
The lonely soul wanders

Daron is a twenty five year-old businessman. Day and night he works…and works…and works…but it’s all a distraction. He has no friends, not even a pet. He lives by himself.
He is a lonely man. Sometimes he wishes that he could just give it all up. That he could go over to his best friend’s house and watch football and just sit there. But he doesn’t actually think that he could. Because he doesn’t understand sports. He was always picked last for sports at school and he would bet a million dollars that if for some reason he was playing sports now, he’d still be picked last.
So maybe not a guy friend to watch football with. But what about a girlfriend? Someone to tell all of his problems to. Someone who will just listen. Who loves him uncontrollably and can’t imagine life without him. But he doesn’t think that he will ever be kissed softly by one of the female sex. He’s had that suspicion ever since fourth grade when Bethany Hamilton told him that no girls would ever like him and that he was icky and proceeded to steal his sandwich. Yet there had to be someone…someone out who loved him. Maybe
What confuses you? It's not like a regular book...I think it would make more sense with more parts of it up here, but there's this street that a bunch of people are walking down and each person has their own story. Each story is a chapter. And also, they kind of notice other people on the street so their stories are all intertwined (like Daron noticing the girl with the young child) and then at the end I was thinking to say stuff like "What would have happened if Daron had stopped to talk to Abby (the girl in the red shirt)? Would he have finally found a soulmate? Would she have found the perfect father figure for her daughter?" Stuff like that....

Sorry same edit twice :-D ....and that art bench idea was REALLY cool I'd love to see it...glad that I'm not THAT weird and there are some other people out there who do in fact think the same way as me (-;
whoa it's cut off....Maybe on this very street. But probably not.
He needs a companion. And he’s tried to find one before. His boss, his coworker, even the lady who sells mangoes two streets away from his house and doesn’t speak English. But none of them wanted to be his friend. They just walked away with a smile, thinking “That Daron character is quite stranger” (or “Él se fue sin comprar un mango!”).
So he busies himself and works day in and day out and hopes for something better. Every day, he walks on this street to get to his office which is three blocks away from his house. He moved just so he could be closer to his office. Because that’s where he always is. He never goes over to his friend’s house or goes on a date with his girlfriend, because he doesn’t have either. And there will never be anyone who likes him in the world. That’s what he tells himself and that is probably his biggest obstacle. He is his own biggest obstacle.
As he keeps walking he notices the young girl

Artie answers:

"very different"

understatement much?
Well if you like it and enjoy writing it then carry on.
But personally, I agree with Ginny Weasley... WTF?

Richard asks…

Has Michael Phelps proved there is no god???

He's a great athlete but I never cared for the way the media put him on a pedestal next to god. He is just an ordinary person with an extraordinary ability who became idolized by so many people. It's a wonder someone didn't start a religious movement inspired by Michael Phelps the water god.

Now he has been caught being a fallible human and not some deity, (oh crap, there goes my faith in god). If he were a pro football player he could do cocaine, go to rehab and come out with his golden idol image in tact. Smoke a little pot and suddenly the golden boy has been demoted to pyrite.

I can't say I was ever a Phelps fan and that's because I didn't care for the way the media hyped him up so much. He has shown he is human and prone to the temptations and pit falls of stardom. I feel sorry for him.

Artie answers:

I think the American media just likes to put people on a pedestal just so they can turn around and knock them down later.

So the guy smoked a joint, big deal. Did he get drunk and get behind the wheel and kill anyone? Did he run around with firearms and threaten anyone? Nope.

The whole thing makes me sick.

Joseph asks…

why would someone who doesnt know you very well send you this?

what does my cousin mean when he says"

Artie answers:

The sender is expressing fondness for you - somebody actually loves you - despite the fact that your repeated posting of your question makes the good folk on this site believe you may be slightly unbalanced
