Something I observed as I grew up...a message hollywood liked to pound us down with in the 80's... We grow less free, less awed, less alive, as we grow older
( Read more... )
We've both changed a good amount since the Mt. Olypmus days, but in a lot of ways I don't think the core of who we are has changed. We've had many successes and a few failures/mistakes -- but we've learned our lessons from even those by and large.
Honestly, the last few times I've seen you you've seemed --- like a comic book character thats a little faded -- kind of like Green Arrow in Dark Knight returns -- a little jaded or depressed or just not quite there.
I know I've also had times where I've felt that way...but I also know that that spark is still much more than a spark...its a huge pile of coals from the bonfire, perhaps not burning in open flame, but ready to have the layer of sand brushed off it and wood thrown on so that the fire burns brightly again.
I'm glad to see your posts on LJ...they remind me of a good friend that I've missed these past few years.
Thank you. Your response means more to me than anyone else's, as you do truly know me. I know what you mean about looking faded. I've been feeling faded. But then, you're one of the few who know what my true annoyance is. I won't call it a problem, as it seems so minor when you look at the canvas of our lives.
Little things wear us down. I think I just need to find some way to buff myself up so I'm looking shiny and new again. I still seem to be on the top of the world, but it doesn't feel like it when you talk to me anymore. Perhaps it's as simple as focus. Instead of me constantly focused on my annoyances, I need to learn to focus on the grand charms and delicious hidden secrets...the fun and the knowing.
*pops in* Hey Alan it's me Vlad from Hounds hey i found your lj! anyway...
From what i know of you (and i only see you are Faire, so not a lot) i do not think the spark is gone from you, it's just changed from what you thought it was, into something else...now what might it be? i don't know...but anyway there are my 2 cents.

I've been soooooo busy with work the last few weeks =( I've been checking, but never enough time to post it seems.
Heyya! nice to "see" you again. Of course I remember you. Who wouldn't remember a hottie like you?! My wife and I both thought you were very cool. And I love your lj icon.
Thanks for the spark compliment. Maybe it's just that I don't see it all the time anymore. Feel free to message me (my icq and aim info is on my page)...or you can always email me. I don't like giving out my email here, but all you need to do is go to my webpage (linked off my info page again) and at the top, there's my email address =)
BTW...I've been curious, and trying to find some old pictures of you from back when you were a trannie. When were you doing rocky, so I can look up the pictures from that time period?
I hope you had fun at the party! I did. And I feel for your recent post...I know how it feels. We should chat about it sometime.

And I'd say you still have a spark. ^_^
