Lisa Santoro makes a mad awesome documentary
I didn't get to watch it all, but I saw a lot of Lisa's senior year documentary. Holy crap I have never missed senior year as much as I did tonight. Thank you Lisa for making such an amazing video! It made me remember everything amazing about that year, I can't believe how much I miss it.
It got me to thinking about something else. You know that time-old question: would you rather have a couple of really good friends or a ton of "regular" (for lack of better words) friends? I don't know about you, but I've never been able to give a straight answer, and I still can't. Lisa's video made me say more than once "oh I haven't talked to [John Doe] in a long time! I wonder how they're doing..." I wish I keep better touch with some people that I miss. Yeah, a lot of them were never super-duper close at all, but those kind of friends were always kind of nice to have and chat with every once in a while. Is that how life really is? Those friends that you're not so close with just get more distant, and eventually fade from the friendship spectrum? Or does everyone keep in touch one way or another? This is the first time it's really hit me like this. I've always thought about how I need to be sure to keep in touch with my best friends. But what about the others who are still important? There are just so many people that I used to at least talk with on a somewhat regular basis. I'm very ready to name names, but I know, due to sheer numbers, that I'll forget somebody, hence negating this entire argument.
POINT!: If you read this, and you feel the same way too, take action! I'm not talking about if you feel this towards me, I mean everyone! There are so many of you that I'd love to maybe get lunch with you sometime and just talk, catch up, make some jokes, and remember the golden days.
Now I'm about to cry. Those days were great :) I can't wait to see as many of you as I can this summer!
-Love, Dan
