Got change?

Over the long weekend, I got to meet up with several people that I haven't seen in years (ie 3-4 yrs), which was really nice. I'm definitely not the best example for keeping in touch with ppl, but I'm hoping that will change and that things will be like the way they were before. (I've missed the stories we used to share, the feeling of being useful, etc.) But what struck me after meeting them was that even after so long, they haven't really changed. I'm not saying if it's good or bad, but I wonder if it's something that we can't avoid. I'd have thought that by now, some things would be different, and perhaps they are, just that I didn't pick up on it. But yeah, that's a question on my mind recently - change... for better or for worse, or even not at all? By looking at their reaction to me, it only furthers my belief that even if I was changing over the years, I didn't get very far. You've all heard of the adage I'm currently thinking of, so I won't even bother, but my question for you all is, "Is it true?" Anyhow, over the course of the "holidays", I was forced to examine myself on several occasions and I realized that one of the things I need to do is to be more open-minded (smarter too, but dunno if that can be helped :P), but yeah, open-minded, for I've been missing out on some great experiences. That and I need to stop whining/rambling, get off my ass and do something, as I haven't accomplished anything noteworthy (or even sponge worthy :P) How much of that I can accomplish, I really don't know as I've been a lazy bastard for a while now. Oh yeah, it's freaking hot and humid right now (in the middle of the night) and there's currently a lot on my mind, so forgive me if this entry makes little sense. Hrmmm, there's one more thought I'd like to bring up - that whatever we experience/think/feel/do, maybe it's all preplanned. Maybe we're all predisposed to act or behave in a certain way and when we think we're changing, we're actually not - we're just following a path that was determined either by the law of probability (due to genetics, environment, etc) or perhaps even something bigger. Bleh, while this is a topic I wouldn't mind getting into, and have actually discussed with Chris several times, right now I'm just rambling... Ha ha, see, we've come full circle :P

Talking about change.... I've added some links to sites I visit regularly. I'd put up my default home page, but then it'll prolly overload your pr0n filter or popup blocker :P j/k! Let me know if you want to be linked, but I really wonder how many ppl read my crap anyways...
