sin titulo

before i get into the nostalgia forum, i just wanted to ask lisa...if you still check this...did you send me that message after you got mine this afternoon? it was crazy timing, or maybe you're just quick on the draw. ps. did you ever get the toby lightman cd?

okay, back to the original topic. i got an email today from a good friend of mine whom i used to work with at austin kelley. he wrote that his time in atlanta and at austin kelley was the happiest time in his life. i started to wonder if that's how i was making out athens. i love being nostalgic, but i don't want to be one of those people that says, "that was the best time in my life". i feel like it's such a fatalist attitude, you know? it kind of says that things will never be better than that one point in your life. wow. what a depressing thought. please don't get me wrong, i loved athens. god, i loved everything that went along with it, but don't you guys agree that you DO want things to get better?

i suddenly sound like i've taken a complete 180 from my comments yesterday. (i haven't.) i just got to thinking about all of this today. it's odd you know? the thought of my days in athens literally makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, but i know it would never be the same if i went back. believe me, i keep trying to convince ashley to move there. we all know that will never happen. = ) but that's also because he knows it would be different. you guys wouldn't be there. the old red couch wouldn't be there. heather and i wouldn't be living together...or at bromsgrove. it was just a package deal. all of those components are what made me fall in love with that time and with athens. who is it that said, "you can never go back"? oh wait, i think that was me...but i probably said it for different reasons. ; ) nevermind.

sorry for being so vocal tonight. this is very therapeutic. and hey, i didn't go to therapy yesterday. although, the topics of conversation would have been as follows:
1. station people
2. bosses
3. anger outbursts
4. did i mention my anger outbursts?
great fun, eh?

it's kind of like grace tonight on w&g...therapy costs money. AA meetings don't. and hey, you guys know me better than i know myself. and well, i like our little chats. (although, heather - i swear you've gone into hiding...and lisa, well, where have you been hiding?

alright, i've done enough rambling for one night. hope to see you guys chiming in soon.
