Occasionally Special

This is my first ever mobile blog effort froM my iPhone! Two ironic notes before I proceed - I promote laziness by not going over to the computer which is inches away from me to type this, I also foster poor typing skills, this is literally a wet dream for the collective forefingers of our forefathers that continue to hunt and peck at the keyboard with two out of their ten fingers. Learn to type already ya hosed.

I had planned on blogging on reunions specifically, but why limit myself. Let's discuss special occasions, I realize that all people get to a point in their lives where most of their non-job related social interactions are a series of special occasions - holidays, birthday parties, births, deaths, school related activities, sporting events, etc.. It may seem I'm generalizing, but the truth becomes self-evident as the seminal moments in your life transpire. You get all wrapped up in your own day-to-day life, you struggle to keep up appearances. It the paradox of your social circle - if you keep it small, you are overtly inclusive while on the other hand keeping it too big, leads to an inability to keep everybody content. It's like bubble gum - it's sweet, colorful and sticky, but eventually the flavor fades and the bubble bursts.

Most of your relationships will be come situational because they are easier to manage that way. You'll always wonder why you can't get beyond the figurative threshold (sp?) of your limited engagement. Maybe we are just victims of circumstance, maybe it was just meant to be that way. Maybe I just think too much and suffer from my ideas. Maybe that's not such a bad problem to have.

There is something peaceful about the dark. It's gotta be the throwback in me. Or it could be that I've watched way too much TV in my lifetime. I like to go off on tangents. I am the greatest American hero, believe that if you want to.
