Cocooned in my busy life, I seldom see my friends. They're all within ten miles of me, but it doesn't matter. Add to that list the friends scattered across the country and the globe and there is an entire company of people I don't see. But wait! There's no need to worry, I'll just shoot a couple lines of email at them, surely I have time for that. Oddly, no, I don't. (But I have time to write this pointless blog entry?)
That parenthetical is actually the point. And the point is: priorities. I have not made my friends a priority and for that I am sorry. I miss them. My life is less without my friends. I catch glimpses of what they are up to on Facelook, I a get melancholy and wistful. It feels like I'm watching some grand party on the other side of the park. This must end.
Think of this then, not as a confession, but as a resolution.
I'll be in touch.

all things in good time...and this seems a good time, i guess!
and your family?
As to my family: when I don't talk to you guys, you call me, text me, email me, or leave notes on the blog that read "Hey, where the fuck did you go?" I think friends just say, "Oh well. He's disappeared again." Then they go and feed their kids and forget all about me.
Dammit Man! Get on with it!
vivez avec la clarté et la vérité, acte avec la compassion, amour avec l'abandon et écrivez avec passion
live with clarity and truth, act with compassion, love with abandon and write with passion
as to the last comment by you-know-who, i say, pot meet kettle! :~D
