intersections
Sorry for the delay in my blogging, thankfully Christian Rawkk (the two Ks are important) has been keeping up. I've been busy getting back into the swing of things at school. It's been so long since I've done the full-time deal that keeping track of all the crap I have to do for four classes is time-consuming, especially since one prof is Satan embodied and has decided we need lots of stuff to do every night, the hooker.
Anyway, I was sitting in my back yard staring at the sky, and kinda felt small for a second. How many other people in the world were looking up at the moon or the same stars at that moment? A bunch, I bet. Then you start thinking how many people are around, and how easy it would be to get lost completely in the shuffle.
Then I started thinking about my good friends. Not really the acquaintances, but the good friends. Since I'm taking physics right now and we've been talking about lines of electric intersection, imagine everyone's lives are a long line....and with all the peoples in the world, how many billions of lines are running through it. Then think about how, out of all of those billions of lines, how your line randomly intersected with some others, usually by coincidence. And if weren't for those random intersections, we would have never met so-and-so and become friends with them.
Amen for intersections.
I've got some great friends...some are here in Dallas, and a lot of others scattered around. Temple/Killeen. Minnesota. The UK. Washington. Oklahoma. Georgia. France. Montana. Some other places. Some I've just met, relatively speaking. One I've known for 20 years, literally (here's to you, Red). And I wouldn't trade 'em for anything. I think enjoying life, or at least not being miserable at it, is more about the relationships/friendships we have with others close to us, more than anything else. I mean, if you were filthy rich, but had no friends...that would suck, to me anyway.
So here's to my friends. Especially you f$%^ers in the band. Even though I want to knife you all with a spork sometimes, haha.
