On a..

.. Different note.

I've been feeling very odd these days. Completely out of sorts.

.. pointless preamble.


An old friend of mine has stopped over on his way to South America from the lands down under. I desert my crazy schedule and head to the airport to pick him up. As always, his message is less than clear... an offhanded "hey I'll be at --- airport at 3-ish".

That's it. No airline, no gate.. and at the time when the hour hand is at 3 (maybe) and the minute hand is at -ish.

I parked my car at arrivals, walked inside, and found an Arrivals computer screen thingie and just stared at it blankly looking for a city name that I recognize to be from that region. It occurred to me that I don't remember the last Geography class I took... and that we're not 14 years old making hazy plans to hang out and play basket ball anymore.

I finally spot him standing in the middle of the walkway .. careless and confused as always. He looks exactly the same with his goofy smile, curly hair, hawaiian print shirt, and slanted shoulder. He's like my other half.. the goofy half.

I don't know.. there's really no big end meaning to this. Just that being so far away from loved ones, one starts to lose parts of themselves. As I ran over like an idiot towards my old friend, and later as we sat eating and chattering and he pulls my hair in the way that has infuriated me since we were kids.. I thought it's nice to be loved.
It makes me feel ok.
