Almost everyone has this person, who you discuss a lot of the important stuff you want to do with in life (if you haven’t got one already, talk to me!) and for me it’s this wonderful guy I met by total chance at a theatre. We sat next to each other to a show I didn’t really want to go, watching a movie that I wasn’t interested in. The movie was Superman Returns (those type of movies haven’t gotten my attention far). This is where hypothetical unreasoning has a bit of scope for: what if we didn’t sit next to each other, what if we did and but never talked? Amongst similar stuff, I’d be worthy of ignoring all that pointless reasoning and say: It’s on such impulsive decisions that the world moves ahead.
We ended up talking occasionally on chats after he added me on Yahoo! Messenger and it was fun. He talked of all the interesting stuff on the web, it was occasional, limited to tech talks and small talks if it all they popped up, …and gradually came a phase we didn’t talk for months, and that we didn’t talk slipped both our minds. But, then again, we started talking, on some computer issue after a while.
I can’t remember for sure, when we got “really” talking when we started on with all the fun stuff again: web, more web, gags, comics, cartoons, web stuff, people, relationships and we’ve never stopped, unless we get too tired and need some sleep or someone rather important turns up/calls.
These talks I’ve had are among the most productive of things I’ve done in recent times. For no reason why, I’ve not been writing much: so that’s no serious writing of any kind – be it poetry (which I love madly) and stories (which to me plotting doom and playing “god”, both is fun); so with these lacking the graph favored the “talks” in the larger framework of creative things.
I’ve a feeling looming from deep inside me that we’d be rather more than just talkers, we’re bound to create something that’d change both our lives forever. I don’t wish to wait. Let the things fall into place assisted by its own volition and surprise me in the face like the events before them never happened.
