4 Seasons of Loneliness

...when autumn sheds the leaves... the trees are bare when you're not here. it doesn't feel the same...

it's just a line from a Wanya & the Wanyettes Boyz II Men song, bitching and moaning about lost love and ...wait for it ...loneliness. Put a nice track with some tight harmonies and 4 guys from a performing arts school in Philly and u've got a hit. But, more than that, especially as it pertains to summer flipping over to fall, u've got a point!!!

it sucks to be single as the weather cools off, sundresses and sandals go into hibernation, and people cut down their list of f*$# buddies look to get into something more serious... the choice becomes a) holding out for that proverbial "one", b) getting more serious with one of your summer bunnies, or c) recycling some dugout love from winters' past ...the options for nightlife "spots" dwindles, tank tops and sunglasses are replaced with leather jackets and turtlenecks, and life generally sucks...

oh well, until that "it" girl shows herself ...at least i have football... Go Falcons!!!

Don't Rock the Boat

one hit wonder songs have a way of staying in your head for days at a time... Don't Rock the Boat by Midnight Star is one such song... who knows if they only have one hit, its the only song I know by them and it makes this opening argument work better ...the recurring theme of the song, or at least the part that plays in my head is "if it don't fit, don't force it. just relax and let it flow" ...how did facebook become soooo popular?!?

QUESTION

if the relationship is hard, as in we've only been kicking it a few weeks and already we're encountering decent-sized hurdles, is it not best to stop "forcing it", ease up, and see if it works itself out... or is it more reasonable to expect that it WON'T work out without special attention and its survival depends on intervention
