ponderings from a long weekend
February 20, 2006 - 7:28 pm

weird for me to say that, i know.. because i've preached actions trump words many times before... and i, fear, in my own case i'm guilty of just the reverse.. of saying those words, but not putting the notion into action.

14 hours (i think that was the total) in a plane with nothing to do but think.. helps sometimes.

of course coming to the grips with what seems to be the stark reality that the person i moved back to CT to be closer to.. has very little in terms of matching desire to be close to me.

yep, nine months i've been here. nine. that's a long time.

i think moving back to a state by itself should quality the the mover to one "request", but that's just me.. and something we never talked much about. perhaps i should have brought that up.. but it just seemed like something that would add tons of pressure that wasn't needed.

just my style to pick the wrong option.

the irony that i'm the who's still of a positive mind regarding us isn't lost on me...

sidebar: there's something absurdly 'naughty' about watching women's curling and hearing them yell "hard" and or "yes" over and over.

anyway. i should be talking about my trip to vegas. did things of note happen there? yes. were there good things? yes. were there bad things? yes. things worthy of disection? yes.

will i? not tonight.

in closing, due to happenings totally unrelated to the rest of this post... i no longer have any reason to believe that the average person is "good". it pains me a great deal to say that.. perhaps a nights sleep will mellow my thoughts.. perhaps.
