Lots of things have happened lately. Lots of things that make me wonder about my current situation in life. I think alot about my girlfriend. Alot about my family. Sometimes about my friends (I rarely even hear from them...it's sad). I spent quite a bit of time just pondering over the ways that i'm connected to so many people; yet at the same time we're all disconnected.

I have the capability of reaching nearly anyone I know within a matter of seconds. Be it by a call from my cellphone, some text from an e-mail, or a quick note from an Instant Message (IM) I can talk to nearly anyone anywhere. Easily a majority of the people I know have this same capability; however almost none use it. I often wonder if my friends ever think about me the way that I think about them.

I have a select group of friends that seems to keep in touch with me. The others have more or less forgotten about me in their life. It reminds me of what one of my bosses told me a number of years ago. I was talking to him about going to college. How I was nervous, not sure if I was prepared, worried about not making as good a friends as I have in highschool. He told me that once I go to college i'll basically lose touch with all of my highschool friends. That the ones I make in college will be the ones that I keep and spend time with for the rest of my life. I vehemently denied the possibility of that ever happeneing to my friends and I. We were too close, our bond was stronger than that of others. Yet, it would appear his prediction is slowly coming true.

There have been a number of other things that have occupied my mind, but for now, that will do. Perhaps i'll add more later. Thinking of my friends makes me slightly homesick, wishing for the days when we used to just get together and hang out. Seems that with growing older and becoming more mature that we forget what it is to just have fun.
