Blogging again
posted by Tach at 12:04 PM
It's been a long while since I've felt the urge to type anything. I've had other things occupying my time, and this site just hasn't been a priority lately.
But I'm compelled to now. There's some stuff I wanna talk about, but haven't had the opportunity to do so.
I went to Disneyland yesterday with some family. Some of mom's cousins were in town, and we all took my grandma to the park. It was a great time, but I spend the majority of my day lost in thought.
Last week, I went to Florida for a vacation. A big group of us rented a house, and we spent the week going to theme parks, comparing notes on music, swimming, drinking, and having a great time. We mainly went for Terry's memorial, though. That was the main reason for the get together.
The week went by pretty quickly, and vacations usually do. There's never enough time to say and do everything you want to, and this was no exception. Hell, I could spend 2 weeks there, and still not want to go home. But this time was different. This was a huge deal. Deena brought Chris and the girls up from Tampa, Nate and Charlie drove from North Carolina, Bruce came in from Indianapolis, Scott from D.C., and Megan & Marty flew in all the way from Ireland. I'd never really met a few of them, but we were instantly cavorting like we'd never been apart. We got to meet up with Reid, Sue & Di, and Tim & Angela for some fun too.
I won't bore you with details, as most know what happens when you're in that area. Disney, Universal, Waffle House...
I do have to say that nearing the end, I really started to dread going home. I've never really had a big problem with vacations ending, but this was different. We had come together for something big, and I was starting to get very sad at the prospect of it being over, and having to return to a life that seemed boring by comparison. It's been a week since we got back, but I'm still depressed. I miss my friends terribly, and I wish I was nearer to them all. During the memorial, I thought long and hard about this group, and others whom I haven't seen or been around in a while. I miss them. Various things have kept me away, and I hate the fact that I can't muster the effort to do more than say "hi" every so often.
I wish I could do all the things I want to do. I wish I could rewind and do over all the fun we had, and never worry about having to go home.
I guess that what I'm really scared of, is that I'll never see some of them again. We lost Terry, who I know wasn't in the prime of health, but I didn't get to be with as often as I'd wanted. And I know that most of my other friends are in fine shape, and will be around for a very long time... but I don't know when I'm going to see them again- or even if.
Some are seperated by mere miles, some by mountains, and others by oceans. I miss them. I love them. I just want us to be together again. Some of the best times in my life have been with these people. I've just become greedy for that feeling. I want it all the time.
To all of you... thanks for everything. Memories, and treasures, and hundreds of photos. To those I've seen just recently, I hope to see you again VERY soon. To others who I haven't been around lately... I'm sorry.
You never know what's going to happen in life. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. I just wanted my friends to know how much they mean to me. Even if I don't say it often enough.
