passing through, slowly

 

1. Ive spent my whole life going from one group to another and letting the former slip away to oblivion. Its not because of any issue or problems, it’s just I lose interest in the activities we shared together. Like a permanent honeymoon on my part with no chance of marriage keeping us together.I hang with no one I knew from high school or college or during my 20,s or 30s with the exception of my business partner who Ive known 35 years but with who I do not socialize outside of our business dealings.I do see a few old work buds who own their own businesses still,on occasion, but all in all I enjoy meeting new and different folks. Life is too short. I think I talk to Drew and peiper more than most of my tangible friends lately. Funny Huh. Again, with me its all about shared interests.
   Rock on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

2. You can also say that the Circle of Life is a lot more fun in a Disney movie.

3. Rich is a bit like Drew in that one must be careful not to have hot liquid or any liquid near your keyboard at the very moment one is reading them. Cos often times you don’t know how they’re gonna end while you’re choking back laffter (oh alright. For the putists, laughter)while trying to be faster than the liquid spill cos u might be shaking.

   Another wet and cold and rainy day.

4. And I know I shouldn’t have to say so but just in case ..... I know Drew’s post here was not meant to be funny and I wasn’t making light of the subject, having been there as well.

5. Hey, take your mirth where you find it. Rich is right; probably most of us have an endless slow stream of people moving through our lives, aside from immediate family. I will never again see those people who were my universe in high school, or the other sets who were my world in college, nor the gang from my first job, or any job since actually. I haven’t even been down the hill to see the old neighbors 3 streets away from when we moved up here 3 years ago.

   But most people you let flow by, because while they’re alright, they just don’t fit you so perfectly. “He completes me” is the line from some Rom-Com, but people can be that way. Very few of us are lucky to have grown in the same direction as friends we had as youths, giving you life long friends. Most of the time you both move in different directions, become new people, and move past each other.

   I think this may be one of the prices of being an American. If you still lived over in boingy-boingy-land, in the same isolated village your family has lived in for 600 years now, then you’d probably have stable friendships from infancy. Because neither of you ever really grew. Or moved on.

8. Only if you want to watch this website crumble, crash and burn to the ground with a keystroke.
