And how

I am breaking the sound barrier. It is official. And I have returned to my grounds!

There is great news, my loyal peons. I am preforming a fucking wedding! Seriously, a wedding. I am an Ordained Minister, and I've been waiting oh so long for this opportunity. And my friend Dave has called me about a week ago, informing me he's got a wedding coming up, and he is requesting me as his Reverend. I spent most of today writing the ceremony, looking up wedding ceremonies, and I'm so excited!

Anywho, on a completely unrelated note. I've been talking to a few old friends lately, many of whom I very much so missed. Its always nice to fix the things that have previously been shattered. I wish that all things that broke were as easily fixed as a friendship. Oddly, even after long periods of time, emotional attachment you once had to an individual resurfaces almost as soon as they return to you. At least, that is what it seems for myself. I find myself regretting that I let these people drift from me in the first place. Unfortunately, I've lost more than I've gained back. Two of my closest friends at one point, for an extended period of time, were at extreme odds with me. I've removed the animosity between us, but the closeness with them is lost, the trust and the compassion. I hope time heals the wounds, but if time can't, I will take the steps forward myself.

So, I am a hopeless romantic, I see things everyday that make me cringe. Have you ever been the unfortunate victim of a "holla"? I was once. How in the world is that suppose to incite feelings of lust, or attraction? What happened to courting? What happened to chivalry? They are not dead, just forgotten. I held the door for a very attractive young lady earlier this week, and she was confused. Apparently, gentlemen, well, men, don't hold doors for her? I would gladly open every door for her, if that was her whim, but in all actuality, I will hold a door for anyone: man, woman, child, or other. Its common courtesy to not close a door on someone. Even more so, its just plain rude. Our culture no longer values courtesy, instead, greed seems to have taken its place. Not even monetary greed, but selfishness. I think as a whole, we'd be better off sitting down, thinking about how selfish we act, even in the small ways, and trying to change it. I'm not saying that one should go out of their way to help everyone, but helping SOME people not only makes them feel good, but gives you a sense of well-being. After I help someone, I always feel a little better.

In closing, I'm done. I would say something important, something touching here, but really...who cares? :) Peace
