i miss you when you're not around

I found this picture somewhere; i'm not really sure where. Where ever... it doesn't matter. I really like the sentiment. It strikes me that we, as humans, create civilization to make our lives easier. So we don't have to worry so much about getting food; about having children; about being killed by predators; and generally be less afraid by life. But the world we live in sadly engenders other fears, stresses, worries, whatever.

Anyway, saw One Man Star Wars Trilogy last night. Really really funny. I'm glad I didn't try to take anyone besides my family to it, tho. Really, you'd need a decent knowledge of star wars to fully appreciate it. needless to say, i loved it. geeked out.

And then I had a great conversation with Erin. Which made me think, as I often do, about how I got to where I am. I said to Erin that "I'm not where i should be in my life right now. but then again, there is no place I should be. there's just where I am." that's all fine and good, but do I believe it? Well, yes and no. Basically I'm trying to believe it. but its hard. I spent so long believing that there was a path to follow that finding out that there is no path is very unusual. So i try to control those things that I feel like I have an ability to control. And so see the above statement about friends.
