So Long, Goodbye....and All That

Hey there gang...it's late, but I can't sleep, not yet anyway...too much on my mind I think. It's not the usual stuff that keeps me awake though, I'm just running some stuff through my head about something I heard this evening. I won't get into specifics (I never do), but lets just say I heard some rather depressing news about an old friend of mine.

It's not only that, but it's got me thinking about a number of things about home. The reasons I felt like doing the whole regional development thing in the first place. If you're not from the Valley, it might not seem like much-well, now that I think of it, this isn't an isolated issue. I guess, since it hits a little closer to me personally, I'm just being a bit selfish.

It's a lovely place to live, but I wouldn't want to live there again I don't think. It's depressing to think that it's come to the point where I'd say that. I hate the fact, that although I know I'm gone, I can't help buy feel like maybe by leaving, I'm abandoning the rest. Brutal.

Sorry, sometimes I find it hard to turn the empathy off. I know, my little cross to bear...(that's a joke about my tone, just so you know....I am sarcastic as hell)....seriously though, I try to let everyone do their own thing, but too much lately has been nothing but bad, and it only gets worse as days go by it seems. I hope it all turns out the way it has to, I guess that's the best I can hope for.

Take Care People.
