Just for fun... Figured I'd re-post a blog (I hate that word) entry from another place...


Talking softly
It's interesting that tonight a thought crossed my mind (again) that I feel stagnant in the world. A new view on this, however, is that too much of my life recently seems old-pat. For whatever reason, it feels like nothing really new has entered my life in a while. That's not true, of course. Recently I've been doing goju and started a new job, both of which have placed new people in my life. So it's a wonder that the thought that I am stagnant is so prominent in my mind right now.

I guess I do feel disconnected from a lot of the old friends from earlier years in college. (Side note: Why does no one use the internet anymore?) Nathan once said that around junior year, everyone starts to split up and go their own ways. Maybe that's true, who knows? I haven't been as close to a lot of people I know in a long time.

That could be it. Perhaps I just don't feel close enough to anyone at the moment. At the moment, I can see no powerful or meaningful connection on a deep level with anyone that I know. That could be why I feel so aloof. Could also explain why I feel like I remember high school feeling.

Reminds me of a saying... I don't know if other people say it, or I thought of it myself...hell, who knows the origin. Seem to remember something of it from a movie. "I'm not alone...But I'm lonely." That reference is going to bother me until I figure it out. It's not that I'm depressed or anything like that, don't get me wrong (though it does make me feel a little sad to say it).

Damn, it has been a long time.
