Blues and Purple Rain

Tonight I am sitting at my computer, listening to Prince's Purple Rain (Just got it via BMG Music Club) trying to catch up with friends. No such luck. But I was able to finially log onto Nicole's web site. For some reason I can rarely get a link to work. But tonight I got to do a little reading about her, her family, her life, and so forth. I find some, but little relief in that. It pales in comparison to being able to hug them, laugh with them, and look them in the eye.
It has been a very long time since I saw most of my friends. Angie and I have tried to get together a few times, but it hasn't worked. But I refuse to give up.
Thank God John works for United and can fly for free.
I am making a nice little life here, and even a few new friends, a couple I think I will be friends with until, well, until Corey graduates high school and I move to NY  to live in poverty for the sake of seeing a Broadyway show every week until the day I die.  And I am glad I am making those friends.
But, I am sitting here missing my old friends and remebering old times. Good music, bad clothes, big laughs, fun nights, and broken hearts.
I miss you guys. All of you!
