Sometimes it's so easy to forget the importance of cutting loose from all cares and worries in life for a few hours and just wrapping yourself in the glow of your friends and loved ones.  I'm guilty of this; I am driven by an obsession to get as much done in this lifetime as I can, and sometimes my friendships suffer for it.

This past weekend, with the help of some really incredible friends and an excess of libations, I remembered this.  That said, once sober again, I spent a bit of time reflecting on this (really pretty sad that it's a revelation) and have decided that it is time to rethink my priorities a bit.  There's about a million things I want to accomplish in my lifetime; but I guess I never considered that I didn't have to do them alone.  So be prepared, if you are a friend, you will likely be dragged off on some bizarre odyssey or experience.  Don't know how to (fill in the blank)?  Neither do I quite likely, but I'm sure I'll give you plenty of reasons to laugh your ass off if you'll come try it with me sometime.

That's my new mantra until it sinks in.  I hope my friends will allow me to share some of their moments.
