Sabbatical Shock

Have you ever not done something for so long that you justify not doing it? Or the opposite is true as well... Have you ever done something for so long that you canNOT justify not doing it? Like the routine that everyone develops in the shower yet no one will admit to the fact that stick to it religiously. All the way down to how you can only remember how to spell something through singing a song. R-E-S-P-E-C-T... Need I say more none the less... I am not going to make up excuses for not posting or try and catch you up on my life, so just read what I write for what it is.

You know what I find intriguing? Human beings.... Have you ever been in a situation where you knew few if any people and yet still had to get along in a group setting? How about being thrown into a house with seven other people and try and live together for seven strangers... Well I am living that experiment... and the results are quite astonishing. Quams, quirks, and quality time equals friends, family and a strong network. We are all different, yet similar, bring various materials to the table challenger one other making each other stronger and smarter, working towards a common goal and establishing a togetherness not to be faked... Living out reality in the REAL WHIRLED.

If we know that these results are attainable doesn't it raise so many more questions? Like "Can't we all just get along?" In the largest sense of the word, all countries, races, gender, political party, etc. if we just took the time and spent it with each other... or How long does it take to get to know someone? Or how well do you know your friends? Do you know them in the evening and in the afternoon.. skinnma rinky dinky dink skinnma rinky do.. I love you... anyway next time you meet some complete stranger see where you can go with it...

Sorry... I know that most of my posts are truly random... but that is how my brain works and therefore that is what gets typed.

Along with living with 7 strangers.... what about the effects of not living with someone.. like lets say your significant other... how does that change things? or does it? How do you compensate for what canNOT be and what is. Is the phone truly a helpful tool? Or destructive tool...? Or both? Sturdy together yet are difficult when seperate... Not saying that it is bad or impossible.... but trust, encouragement and flexibilty are key. Much easier said than done.. I know that first hand... but trust me when I tell you in the words of Kayne West... "Th-th-that that don't kill me Can only make me stronger..."
