A Long Night And A Sunrise To Follow
I guess things never really do work out the way you intend. You can plan and plan, but life has it's tendency to do whatever it pleases despite our objections. All we can do is take it as it comes, and sometimes you can be surprised at what is revealed.
Case in point, what happened last night. My friends were all getting together to have a BBQ. Granted it was a little thing, but I was really looking forward to going. It has been a week of mercuric ups and downs so far, and I figured that this will be a little get away, a chance to recharge, hang out with friends, spend time with Janey. However that is not at all what happened. To make a long story short, well at least shorter, there was a small emergency at work that needed fixing and that required me working overnight. I didn't want to but sometimes we have to do things we don't. So I called Tyrone and said I couldn't make it. The only response was "oh well, maybe next time bro" I guess it was all you could really say but still it sucked knowing that everyone else was off having fun while I had to work.
Well I ended up finishing up at around 5 in the morning. When I got home I was exhausted, but as I was opening the door, I heard the birds chirping. I don't know why but I just sat there on my front porch listening to the birds, and watching the sun rise. I have seen sunrises many times in my life, but this was the first time I actually watched one. What was more interesting though was the phone call I got. The last person that I ever expected to call, especially at 6:30 in the morning (which is when I normally get up anyways) phoned me and said that they missed me at the BBQ. It was nice to know that after all this time I wasn't completely forgotten. Makes me want to re-evaluate some things.
