Take It Easy
Fri Mar 04 2005

When friends go by and shrug their shoulders,
Leave out doors without knocking...
Submerged in total unconcern…

We are different. From each other. We have different views, different morals, different perceptions…what makes us friends? Sometimes it seems that one can spend whole life searching for the soul mate, and another can just go around, happy face and make as many friends as he meet on his way…Friends?

We would have much more friends, if only we would be less exigent and take it easy. I guess, it all depends on what each of us call a friend…Sometimes it could be the only one with whom you shared deepest secret. And sometimes it could be just someone, you’ve met in a crowd, nodded heads with and then – both gone each – his own way…totally unconcerned…

Whom would you call your friend? Do you really need to have someone to call a friend? Can I compare friend with a pet – once you’ve got it – its – for life? Or was it just a part of the crowd, detached from it for a moment, entered your orbit, twisted you around once and then – gone in a random direction according to the laws of physics: extremes meet but similarities repel…

Hey, you, don’t pass by your used to be friends…you may call them something different, just don’t shove them pretending you haven’t noticed

OK, that was a lyrical digression…Today has only started and I will leave it to be unfolded still with all the good things and all the notsogood things the day might bring…If there is anything worth mentioning, it will be mentioned…if there is anything worth thinking over - well, that I can’t promise really…

Take It Easy - slogan of today…

    I recall telling hubby, "Take it easy" and he'd say, "I'll take it any way I can get it".
    Woo boy what a guy
    :P
    enjoy your day

    there is a tendency to make the word "friends' a cliche but from within us we know what and who really our friends are. to some degree we have numerous of them, but the ones that penetrated our hearts, the ones that broke down the barrier of indifference, the ones that went another mile by loving us despite our weaknesses, are the rare find.

    for me, those are the friends that really count. be it virtual or real, i know when the friendship defined is more than just superficial. on the general, i am happy to share a friendship (acquaintance or casual) to so many. and when the time comes for me to fold out and go unnoticed, i am glad to know my close friends are there to pursue and ask me, " what's wrong?"

    I sometimes wonder... could I be friends with anyone? Or does it take a certain person... someone with whom I match in some particular way? I am pretty laid back and could "hang out" with practically anyone... but does that make them my *friend*? I suppose there are different types of friends... those you hang out with and talk about superficial things... and those who you share a deeper more meaningful relationship. I'm not sure what it is about certain people that makes me feel safe to open up to about things... or why certain people feel they can trust me in that way. Or why some friends seem to come and go, while others stay despite changes in life, distance, etc.

    "Or was it just a part of the crowd, detached from it for a moment, entered your orbit, twisted you around once and then – gone in a random direction according to the laws of physics: extremes meet but similarities repel…"
    -I've always found it interesting that you can meet someone at a crowded place... a party, or a conference or something, and you can hit it off and talk for hours, and then never see them again. I think of these people as friends of sorts, but I may not even know their name! Yet if I were to see them again in another setting, would we be able to pick up where we left off?

    You are so smart
    That meter was the problem
    I went in and changed it and the entries are back to at least a size I can handle. I also updated the moon phase banner, but for some reason it isn't updating. Maybe once I log out or something it will

    I guess I think friends are people I trust and know will be there for me if I need them and vice versa. People I meet and work with or just pass by are just acquaintances for me.
