Therapy, once removed
November 3rd 2010 09:20
With the theory of 6 degrees of separation, I have had many a time enjoying the aspect of socialising just to see who I will meet. Having achieved the weaving process of meeting person A, A's friend B, then B's friend C who has never heard of person A, and repeating said process six times while maintaing contact with all persons involved, was an empowering spare-time hobby with many years of enjoyment.
I can recommend it, although it is not without its pitfalls. Losing contact with many an old-time friend is par for course. As I ponder whether to go in for another decade long 'round for 6' (is this too long? I'm not the best of social networkers at times), one may need to look at what is already in place:
{On women}
I no longer fear rejection, the thought of it has been replaced by the fear of not maintaining the relationship. My memory bank has enough one night stands to know a one night stand is no longer something worth looking for. Possibly better at maintaining contact with the feminine than the masculine, although equally so with the few masculine of the same disposition.
{On work}
Middle class, although questionably so due to the effort put in to achieve such a status. New money some might say, to others simply old world charm.
{On death}
Something harder to deal with as time rolls on, having noticed the bereavement process for me occurs physiologically before any emotional tidal waves. It can come all at once, and the thought of such reminds me of a couple of Wyclef lines - "My drinks' my only remedy for pain of losing family <<<>>>Its a hard knock life but the sun will come out tomorrow." One must rock on eh?
{On dying}
Damn it this should be on giving life but anyways.
