Keeping it short today, as it's a certain Animal's birthday party and I have to go get drunk at an unreasonably early hour. But it's because of this incipient event that I have the topic for this post. See, last night, we had Philly, NYC, Boston, Toronto, Chicago, and DC repping hard at one little table at the bar. We laughed, we ripped on each other, we mocked poor Tom relentlessly for being Canadian.
In this day and age, we're finding more and more that 'our people' are out there, regardless of physical proximity. It's a good feeling - not just to stave off the loneliness of thinking no one out there gets us (though that's a valuable thing in and of itself), but to know that there's people out there you don't have to filter yourself for. You can just drop metaphorical trou and let it ride.
Now, this might not sound like that big of a deal. But stop and think a minute; when was the last time you could really, really just be yourself?
