I've thought about this for the longest time...Woaaahhhh! Hoooooaahhhhh! lol
Valerie once said to me about 'other people' that I don't talk to anymore, that they are windows.
Her point was that when you meet someone, you open up a window, and that window stays open until you have a fallout or stop keeping touch with him/her. Then the window closes. I had a really bad hang up with certain relations and friends, but after she explained that to me, it really helped to get over everything.
Now, though, I feel that way with everyone I talk to. Who knows if me and you will still be friends and talk over coffee. I really enjoy your company, but I have no personal attachments to anyone.
I look at everyone that way, and just think about that window closing one day. I really do like everyone in the circle, but once again, I continually fight with my thoughts that one day, we won't stop to catch up and have that cup of coffee. It troubles me, but in the end, that window had to close sometime, and you and I don't need each other anyways. Life will go on, you and I will both make new friends, see new places, have different experiences, and hopefully, be happy in the long hull.
By the way this post wasn't directed towards anyone specific. It's just my thought process. I love all of my friends, but I consider this my best defense mechanism towards the pains come with separation.

Resolutions and the Times
So Conor blogged a point about elderly conservatism and youth liberalism...
Dan and I talked a lil bit about this on the way up to the New Years Party. Dan made a point that you may not actually become conservative with age, but the times become more liberal. I believe that, but I can say that financially I know I will become more conservative, especially with the addition of a spouse, children, etc. I blow money away now like it does, in fact, grow on trees, but when I'm 42, juggling groceries, diapers, and other assorted bills, I'll prolly be more inclined to squeeze every penny.
And as we all know politics and the times are both run exclusively by money, so desicions will be based on money as well. Who I vote for, and my beliefs and causes will be runned by my wallet, not to say that my experiences and morality won't play a part, but the fact that I have the weight of a family and property on my shoulders might make me turn the other cheek, if that makes me vote for the candidate that will give me a tax cut....
After reading that, I am a jackass
My resolution, and someone mentioned it at the New Years Party, is to read more books than I did last year. It shouldn't be too hard. I only read books based on famous musicians. With this, I hope to continue to expand my mind.
I think its such a great resolution, it's not outta reach like getting those six-pack abs by the summer, or going vegan. It's simple and within my grasp.
I have other resolutions but they won't play a giant role, they're more like small stuff to keep in check.
