All the world is a stage...

I have found in my time upon this earth that we all fall into many circles of friends, those we watch movies with, those we party with, so on and so forth. We rarely ever take a step back and see what our life is like from an outside point of view. The next time you find your self asking "How did I ever become friends with these people?" Step back and look at the world you live in, the world you've created for yourself, you may be surprised at what you find. My own personal experience with this has shown me that I have two distinct groups of friends, the highly intellectual "nerds" those who I can have a deep philosophical conversation about the inner workings of life, the universe, and everything those who contemplate the world around them and understand what we're all about. The other group consists of the party animals, the ones who are always out having fun living life to the fullest and rarely taking a moment to stop and smell the flowers, luaghing, having a good time and generally enjoying the merriments that can be had from even the simplest things. I digress, without these two groups, the amalgamation such as they are, I find that I would be most unhappy they appease almost every aspect of my life save for the minor proprietary sanctums of my mind. So when you find yourself in a bind as to why you spend time with the people in your life, think about what part of your consciousness it satisfies you may be amazed to find a deeper level to yourself then you knew existed.
