2.6.09-Open Mic Maddness.

Conflict.

It's everywhere. It's everywhere you look, everywhere you listen, everywhere you are. 

Tonight was Open Mic. Open Mic, for those of you that don't already know, takes place every Friday night at Borders on Route 9 in Shrewsbury from 6 to 9 (until further notice). I am a regular attendant of these social gatherings, and I am proud to say so. Anyway, tonight was interesting. The first sign of oddity on this night was when I got into Adva's car and a certain ghost of my past was in the back seat. It was rather awkward, for I knew that she was thinking about our former feelings for each other, and that she wanted me back. Now I am never going to go back to that, but at the same time I don't want to be mean to her or make a scene. It's very awkward, especially now that I know that she lives right down the street from me. 

When we got to open mic, there was nobody there due to the fact that open mic now goes from 6 to 9 instead of 7 to 10 because now Borders closes at 10 instead of 11 because the economy currently sucks. Anyway, at around seven the usual crowd began to show up, including a close friend of mine. Unfortunately he has been a bit down lately. I have been helping him through it, but sometimes I just don't know the right things to say. This tend to have a loss for words whenever I am trying to comfort people, which I have been doing an awful lot of lately. Many things have changed in the past few weeks, and now I am observing how these changes affect my friends lives as well as my own. 

Conflict.

It's with troubled peers, and goes hand in hand with reminders of past relationships and mistakes. It's everywhere you look, everywhere you listen, everywhere you are. It's everywhere.

Always yours,
