Across the Way
(Craig David - Fill Me In)

With the online world these days, it’s not too uncommon for people to have friends all over the world. The distance between you and them is almost transparent. I find that the majority of these interactions are pretty significant in the beginning but eventually fade to something trivial. It’s not the distance that eventually causes relationship fragmentation but rather the personalities. Naturally, it takes longer to really understand someone online than it would in real life. Plus you have to get over that initial allure of meeting someone new.

Once in awhile though, you meet some pretty incredible people. These are people who would shape your life if they lived closer; people who would be part of that social group that defines you as a person. With people like this, the distance is always noticeable.

I wish you guys were closer.

I scored an 8 – clearly an introvert.

Earlier today while discussing gardening with a co-worker, I came to this conclusion…

A spade may be a spade to a group of people who have been taught that it was a spade but in another culture, another social setting; it might be something totally different. A good example of this would be marzipan -- it might mean a confection made of ground almonds or almond paste, often molded into decorative shapes OR it might be an animal. Most likely an animal though.
