sorry to hear about all that man.. yeah, it can be fucking frustrating to try and organize and set shit up all by yourself.. it takes effort on the parts of each people in a group to get shit together, it should never be dumped on one person..
keep up the hiking, guitar, and photography.. social life is all good, but its definitely those individual passions that help to keep the sanity together (mine at least).. and keep focus on school--damn that sounds like cliche parental advice--cause i've definitely noticed toll it can take on your mood when you're not doing as well as you normally do.. switching schools and majors (to something i enjoy and do well at) lifted my spirits much more than i'd anticipated..
i can empathize with the nostalgia as well.. i've been putting in (at least medial) effort toward keeping in touch with some old social connections--at least with people who show some desire to invest something back into it.. i've even been lurking and posting a bit on spiralx after a suprising IM from Peter/Tech; there's not too much food for thought on there, but its fun to read what some of those same old internet junkies are talking about..
its true that we all drift in and out of new niches, jobs, lifestyles, and worldviews.. i've just taken it as fact of life that distance possibly (and often probably) builds its way into even the closest of relationships.. i'm never bitter about it anymore though, it just happens..
take amy for example, i mean she is right in contention for the closest friend i've ever had.. hell if i gave it enough thought she might even sit at the top.. i'm not even sure the last time we've talked though, i think i sent her an IM once since i left NC State, but other than that not since then (and not much at all the last year i was there).. no fault of anyones for all the reasons i've said above.. i'll still love her and all our fun times unconditionally though.. better to look at the past with appreciation than to mourn that its not with you anymore..
i caught joe on aim about a month ago and dropped him a line, caught up on a bit.. he seems to be doing not half bad, bartending at a strip club.. doing his thing i suppose..
i wont lie though, it'd be nice if we were all still in good communication like the old days.. anywho man, sorry (although if i still know you as well as i think i do, i'm sure you don't mind at all) for ranting up a long response.. i'll try to keep more in touch, take care sir
The long response was great, thanks for taking the time. You are someone who is just as, if not more, long winded than I am. That's a good thing though, haha.
