Dear Abby

What do you do with those people in your life that you just can't get rid of? I'm talking about those people who you try to tell yourself you don't want around, but you get excited when they're about to come. For some of you it's a girl, or a guy, you have some intimate feelings for, and others it's someone that's just so much fun to hang out with; it just so happens that every other time you go out, you end up in jail or running from the cops. Reading those words over, I've had an epiphany. Well, maybe not quite an epiphany, but I did have a minor "connection-spark". I used to be that, "get-in-trouble-with" guy. Is that why I have one of these in my life? Well, I learned early on that everything is just naturally my fault, thanks Steve, so I think I can honestly say, Yes. But anyways, these people are like chocolate cake to a fat person on a diet. They're a cold beer to an alcoholic in the summer, a thong bikini to a nymphomaniac at the beach with his Cub Scout Troop. You want them around for some reason or another but try to distance yourself when they're not. But really, what do you do? Your head says one thing, your body another. Then you try and justify it, either way, and come up with reasons that support why you might have made an overreaction. Thus leading you away from your decision to separate, or stay close. I'll try and eschew over-complicating this blog, a problem I am always faced with, and leave it at that.
