Old Friend
I went down to the radio station this afternoon to pick up the tickets that I won. One of my childhood friends is the music director of one of the stations in the cluster that is run out of the same building. I had not seen this guy since my bachelor party over seven years ago and had not spoken with him in almost three years. I figured since I was in the building I would look him up and see how he was doing.
We have a mutual friend that we both talk to(although I haven't even talked to him in a few months) so I have kept up with his life a little. However, since I last talked to him, he has gotten married, moved and had a daughter, who is now two years old. After talking to him, it just doesn't seem like it has been that long. Where does the time go. I am hoping to hang out with him in the near future, to catch up, because he was busy when I got there and ducked out of a meeting early to come down and say hi.
I know this is about the most boring posts I have put up. But, it was nice to see this guy after all this time and reconnect with a friend I grew up with.

Its always nice to see old friends. :)
If you all ever meet up, you'll have to let me know. I just want to say "Hi". I still can't believe T has a kid. Man.
I'm still laughing that you and I used to fight him on a regular basis, though. :)
Dani, I have no idea why it makes me so happy. I guess it is because ever since I had been with the ex I lost touch with a lot of friends I wouldn't have otherwise.
Steph, he was definitely some of my best fights(other than hockey).
I have a best friend in Kansas City that I talk to maybe once a year and average seeing him once every three years. (that's how often I get out to KC) Every time we talk it feels as if no time has passed. I have run into other friends from shool that I feel the complete opposite way with. I think the best friend factor is a biggie in this. At least that's my take on it.
I totally understand it. When my ex and I broke up I had lost touch with most of my friends. Since then I've seen more and more of them and I love it.
Its always nice to reconnect!
old friends are great, someone that knew you when....
I doubt I will run in to too many... different country and all =)
Have to make do with new friends I guess =)
i'm glad you had such a nice day and a great surprise!!! it's always nice to reconnect with people ... especially people you actually LIKE!
Old friends do bring back the flood of memories. I wish more to see some of my old marine buds than any others. I think those were the best times of my life an I shared them with some good guys. Be sure to make time to catch up with your friend Larry.
Okay Larry, make yourself comfortable:
1. You're offered 5 millions dollars, but there's a catch. If you accept the money, you lose 7 years of your life. What would you do and why?
2. What is the worst thing you've done in your life?
3. You have to dress up as a drag queen and perform two songs. Which celebrity would you dress as and what would you sing?
4. What one person do you dislike the most and why? (This can include any historical figure.)
5. If you had the opportunity to make a positive impact for all living kind (humans, as well as non-humans) what would you do?
Ltlme: I have had this experience a few times with a few friends and every time it surprises me.
Dani: My friends were very supportive of me. There were a few that I saw a lot when I was single and we would all hang out however, this is one of them that I rarely had contact with after my marriage.
Lisa: Where are you from?
Jenni: Sometimes I feel a bit, I don't know if it is exactly the word I am looking for but, inferior. Most of the people that I reconnect with have achieved their goals and have families. I have not even settled on new goals since my divorce, except returning to school, which I have yet to do.
Raven: I had friends from every group in school and really liked almost everyone. So when I see someone I know it is always fun. This guy is one of the few friends I grew up with in my neighborhood who I don't have contact with on a regular basis.
Lowk: Have you ever considered tracking any of them down?
Ltlme: Posted.
Danica: I will keep posting as long as I have things to say and people who are interested(the former is more important than the latter, however, I am an attention whore. So, the latter is also important.)
