Life's a roller coaster ride. The highs and lows able to overwhelm one beyond imagination. A productive morning, with much work cleared, yet theres more to go through. Indulged in a 2 hour lunch to catch up with old friends. Fancy meeting someone last met briefly almost 10 years ago or thereabout. His thoughts on the state of the country and its administrators, its people... its hauntingly true. Its scary. Scarier is whats the situation likely to be in the years to come. For a country so blessed with resources and opportunities, we're cursed with obstacles. The narrow-mindedness and insensitivity that pervades, will only result in bigger problems in future. The environment i left behind in the virtual world, is nothing compared to the obstacles in real life.

On the personal front, its becoming apparent to me, finally i guess, that am beginning to or have already lost a very good friend. Its like grasping running water from the tap. Trying to catch a handful, and not getting anything at all. There has been no reply to the email sent. No responses. No replies. No messages. A relationship where only one party is actively trying to keep it going, is not a friendship. Friendships should be like the act of making love, its a two way thing. Both parties need to work on it. Errr perhaps that was a bad analogy. Wouldnt want my male friends to think of me as a love partner ..LOL. When its apparent, its only one, then one has to make the painful decision to back away and remain in the sidelines. Perhaps fade away for good, to be forgotten. That would be the gentlemanly thing to do.

Perhaps a game of squash tonight would do the trick. Running like mad, and hitting a ball time and again against the wall, should be good for the mind. Calls made, and its confirmed tonight. Looking forward to it.
