Learning Our A, B and C's

The thing about silence is that sometimes you never know what really caused it. To some the act of going mute is more like a disappearing act, vanishing into time itself as it passes one day into the next. To others, silence becomes a response. Silence for silence. An even exchange. Eye for an eye logic. Because "A" never called to talk to "B","B" has decided not to talk to "A" ... That's how silence works.

Because when you're silent, it's not always that you have nothing to say. It's the exact opposite. The reality is having so much to say that you don't even know where to begin, and so you don't. Because you know two things ...

(1) If you were important to "A" then "A" wouldn't have let almost an entire week pass without some sort of conversation ...

and

(2) Chasing anyone down to gain their attention isn't something that "B" is willing to do anymore.

So "B" has decided to get out of the house for a little while today and meet up with "C" because it's nice to know, that there are exactly 25 other letters to choose from.

Why people chase anything at all is quite beyond me.

Chase is best played by dogs.

It was a very enjoyable time ... And yet, you already know that. I told you all about it last night.

(Note to self however, Black Cherry Smiranoff's are very, very good ...)

Orbling, you are quite right ...

Playing chase is a rather pointless adventure, unless one plans to be caught. And that being said, doesn't it make more sense to just get to the point of things rather than waste your time?

I know mine could be better well spent.

Well I don't chase and I certainly don't run from those I wish to be caught by.

Some might call that lazy, or label me a killjoy, but meh... saves a lot of sodding about. ;)
