I hope it's Okay with the blogosphere if I confess a little. I'm selfishly sad tonight because I miss my friends. Brian and Carrie are in Portland, Oregon. They just moved there. Brian was my college roommate and co-hort in philosophical mayhem. They are starting a new life together there, and it's good for them. They live together now, and I know how wonderful living with your soulmate is. Still, I'm sad. Listening to the new Coldplay, a band Brian always liked. I was selfishly sad when Chris left for the Navy when we were very young. I was depressed for a long while about it, but I never told him. I know it's selfish to want your friends to stay where they are, just so you can see them. But I can't help it.

The thing about life is that we all get over it. I was always the one leaving so I guess I couldn't sympathize. Sorry dude.
I usually am the person doing all the leaving, with a few exceptions. I suppose it's an instance of bad faith on my part, at times, wherein I pretend that the distance is something that happened, rather than something that I did.
I'll send you his mailing address, and the URL of his blog when it's up and running;)
