My Sarah Palin Moment

Sarah Palin is to Foreign Policy as I am to Initiating Reconciliation.

A former friend's birthday is this week. I purchased a Maya Angelou Hallmark Card. I am attempting to put words on the paper...but my thoughts are as fragmented as Palin's response in a Katie Couric Interview. Hell, the next difficult will actually be dropping that bad boy in the mail.

My incoherence has me referencing quotes to capture the words that I'm either at a loss for or too prideful to write on the card. Essentially, my thoughts come out as such, "Well, um I don't know how to open up and I don't want to assign the responsibility of forgiveness to either of us. I'm not even sure that forgiveness is the word that I should use. But our friendship ended so abruptly over childish bullshit. I've never been one to enjoy having numerous superficial, forced friendships. What we shared was deeper, but it was set in the context of numerous superficial forced friendships. So erruhhh Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. And thereofre the umbrella of, "If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. And ALSO, Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance and love have no end."

Lol, see sounds just like Palin trying to put together an intelligent thought. Eek. Then I selfishly wonder, will my efforts to reach out be well received? I'm not looking to be thrusted back into that lifestyle...the incessant talk about sex, failed relationships, drinking and constant socializing with people I didn't fancy. But I miss the simplistic connection that I had with one particular person. It's kinda like...you like toothpaste and you like orange juice...but not necessarily together.

Errr - perhaps I'm still suffering from Jet Lag, or perhaps my mental faculty is on par with my Wii fitness age of 80. I'm rambling and not looking forward to returning to work after traveling overseas.
