Short Circuit or Remembering the Lost Friends of the Past

I watched Short Circuit tonight and it brought back a lot of memories. First of all, I got the movie at Wal-Mart (evil) in the discount section... on DVD no less... for 9$! If only I could find Monster Squad now, I'd be a happy man... but ANYway... watching Johnny 5 reminded me of that simpler time when all a movie really needed for me to enjoy it was a few catchy lines to repeat... Short Circuit definitely had a few and upon re-hearing each one I would remember certain times that I watched the movie as a kid and repeated them... I would also remember who I was watching it with at the time... many of those people I have lost touch with... sad... I seem to have lost tough with a lot of people from my youth... The people who at various stages of my development I called "best friends." The only real connection to that distant time I have left (other than family) is Dave. I guess that's just the way with life... stupid reality....
I had a few offers of things to do tonight post work but chose not to do either one. Matt and some boys were seeing Van Helsing but I have no desire to see that... In another section of town, Ryan and some people were going to Coyote's for someone who I do not know's birthday... While I have been itching to go out into the social world again, I have little desire to do it amongst the company of a) strangers and b) Ryan when he is drinking. Ryan is probably the most annoying person I know drunk... he is also annoying when with his girlfriend... If I can avoid those two situations than I am doing alright... To update things, I have decided to talk to Ryan again... But I am not putting up with any shit. If he does the things that I don't like, I'm gonna tell him in no uncertain terms... I also need my Fawlty Towers DVD back..... stupid lending of things.....
Oh well, off to bed!
