Blogging from my itouch

It's Saturday morning, I'm still in bed, and here I am blogging :) I am trying out the blog app on my iPod and enjoying that it might motivate me to start blogging regularly again! It's pretty amazing what I can do from this little device... I can check my balances, pay my bills, find a car or house to buy, my nearest starbucks (or any other nearest thing). I can do a yoga session, manage my schedule, stream pandora (or radio paradise!), catch up on the medal standings at the olympics, send email, chat, figure out what constellation that is, or cheer with a cow bell! Now if I could just get it to make me coffee...

Two Paths...

This afternoon I decided to go by some old blogs that I haven't made time for reading lately. My activity in the blogging world used to be so frequent... Anyhow, as I zipped by some old blogs, I realized that some folks that used to link here (living 202), don't link here anymore. And, they're folks that I haven't seen in awhile or talked to in awhile, so its not too surprising that those blogs don't link here anymore. But, it made me wonder about the moments when we decide that we no longer want to keep in touch with someone. I feel like my life has been a revolving door. People come and go out of my life a lot. Mostly its girlfriends that come and go a lot, and it makes me wonder why. I realize most of the time its because lives change, circumstances change, the landscape of our day to day lives change. But does that really necessarily mean that our friendships have to change? I often blame myself for not keeping up with these girls, but the other day I was thinking about this I also kinda realized that the phone works both ways. But somehow I still feel responsible for the waining of those friendships. There have been weddings, many birthdays, showers, loads of events that I somehow didn't get invited to, and I also am sober minded enough to know that you can't invite everyone you know to these things. But again, missing those things makes me just wonder about the moments we decide a friend isn't friendly enough to invite back anymore, or to link to their blog, or to wish happy birthday on facebook? I'm not fishing for sympathy or pity, I'm truly curious about the passing of time and what makes some friendships survive and others fizzle?
