Coming back to life...
So, after having left the country for 2 years, I'm slowly settling back into my life. Funny how you can root yourself up like that, and then return and feel so detached from where you once called "home." I feel like I have no real "home" despite the house that I stay in each night.
We tell ourselves when we're young that Friends are Forever, while we try to escape our families, thinking that one day we'll never have to deal with them again. It seems to me that it's the other way around.... The family is what lasts forever, and the friends change as frequently as scrambled eggs need to be stirred in a frying pan. I've come home, and 95% of my aquaintances are moved away or starting new lives for themselves elsewhere. I may be moving someplace else once summer of 08 rolls around. I've gained the liking of a friend of mine from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and we're planning on trying to close up this distance issue that looms its ugly head, threatening to destroy what we hold so dear
Who knows where I'll end up.
Has it every crossed your mind how we as humans tend to look for bold, new ways to be different? It's interesting to me that we all think that we're something so special, when everbody else is trying to do the same thing as me (though they admittedly go about it differently). It's like... if Traditional was how the world turned on its axis just last week, then today we're plagued with a bunch of Columbuses (Columbi?
) that think they're going to revolutionize the joint. But... if we're all out there trying to revolutionize, then nobody's back in the Traditional part, holding the fort down, you see? If we're all out doing something new, then the real frontier is back where we came from, where nobody bothers walking the forgotten path. We call Traditional the Beaten Path, but really... isn't revolutionizing things the Beaten Path today? That would make the real revolutionizing take place in the Traditional side of things, because nobody goes there anymore.
The way I see it though, there's nothing wrong with taking some new found skills from time spent Revolutionizing and trying to combine them with Traditional. It keeps things spicy; it keeps things interesting.
How was that for a blog? I find it hard to stay on just one topic Forgive me.
