Hmm, I finally got around to reading this blog again. I was looking all over your myspace page, trying to find the link for it when I realized "oh yeah, duh, he left it on my comment page!"

Glad we got to hang out this weekend and had a great time, and of course we're gonna hang out again before you leave. Just... hard to believe your time to end here and start fresh in Seattle is coming up real soon! As I had said before, sometimes ya don't realize the importance of people in your lives until they are finally leaving (or even just being far away). While me you and the Bungles haven't all hung out as much over this last year as we used to, you're still by far one of my best friends for sure and damn well better be until we're real old and wearing diapers... I'll be totally bald then, and you will be frozen or robotic if I'm not mistaken ;) BUT, you'll be bald too ha ha.

Been thinking that, over the years you've left some great footprints in the sand here, one's that wont be washed away for a long, long time. And you're still walking, getting out of a garbage time here to a better time in Seattle. Just know that you wont be forgotten, your greasy Sheffield Lake friend will still be one of your best, and I actually look forward to sending you another beast paper letter some time this Spring ;) Besides, we've got a New Orleans wedding coming up, a bachelor party to plan, and better jobs coming up for us both to make such travels not much money at all. You will be missed till then though!

Johnny,

I'm glad you're having a good time re-connecting with friends - I think your recent circumstances have kept you at bay from them somewhat - but I also think you needed a good dose of "being appreciated" and "appreciating" before you left, so again, I am glad for you - and for them :)

As far as your ex-ish girl, I do hope you can let go off her with dignity and integrity (there's that word...), regardless of what she has shown you. Just because she may seem/have been reckless/careless with your feelings, doesn't mean she doesn't/didn't care - it may simply mean she needs to grow and better learn the value of being with someone, though...

You need, in my opinion, to remember what it is like to be in a relationship where people speak politely to each other, fight out issues with reverance, and care more often than they don't - because although you can't expect perfection, you can have values and standards. What are your standards...? How do you want to be treated...? Do you treat people as you want to be treated...? The point of this digression is that I do not want you to go away from your relationship with regret and rage - because you don't want to enter a new one with those left over feelings...

In Seattle, I hope you, too, better discover who you are and what you want to be - and I don't mean a career (although, sweet baby jebus, I do hope you secure one!), I mean internally - the foundation of that which you are...
