I've been going through Friendster multiple times in a day now. It's no suprise how the process of checking in on people leads me to finding "old friends". The theory of Six Degrees of Separation and how we are exactly that - separated. Sad to say, the whole deal as it is, is my own doing. I have this strange habit of losing friends the way I lose my car keys. Close as I was with most of my golden acquaintances at one point, I no longer speak, or see any of them. Is the rest of the world the same? Is this part of the cycle of life? Profound questions. Everyone looks the same way they did 10 years ago. By that I mean people appear the same way they've always had, despite the few upgrades and downgrades they've had over the years (you know what I mean). I'm pretty sure I can't say the same about how they are within. Pounds gained and lost, facial hair and clothes, mask whomever they've become today.

I tried to add some of them as "friendsters" without any expectation of an outcome. I recall parting with some friends so ungracefully I've pushed myself down a notch as a mere acquaintance. I should get in touch with them again.
