Midnight Pancakes
I would like to start be aplogizing to both of my readers for this post. It seems that I've been doing a lot of "lonely" writing lately. This is yet another one. I would like to say that I am not always feeling this way. It just has been happening some lately, and that's what has been my biggest incentive to write.
So I was winding down after a fun-filled afternoon at the W's b-ball court. My roommate left for work doing his graveyard shift. Not having eaten much and realizing my hunger from the activities, I remembered some pancake batter that I had made up yesterday and put in the fridge. So I made them up and at them... this was at 11 o'clock at night. It made me think of a song that SJ introduced to me called "Table for Two." It starts with the phrase "Danny and I spent another late night over pancakes," which is why I thought of it. It is a song of a couple of young men just chatting: they have their fears of the future, and who may or may not be in that future. (For complete lyrics, see here;) The problem I had was that there was no one here to be chatting with over these things. I thought of my friends: those who have gone, those whom I left. I thought of home... now is the longest stretch of time that I've ever been away from there (nearly two months, and not sure when I'm getting back). I don't like feeling lonely. I thank the friends who have been around for me. You know who you are, (hint: if you're reading this blog, you're probably one of them). You all are great.
That is all.
