If you combine the ending of my relationship with Sandy and the death of my best friend Bradd – its no secret that I have lost the two most important people in my life in a very short period of time. So as of late, I have gone through more endings then I have beginnings. This constant ending has gotten me thinking about all of the endings I have ever had – and what it would be like to be able to change them.

I stopped and thought about every “ending” I have ever had – the ending of a friendship, the ending of a relationship, the loss of contact between two friends, the demise of a friendship through other reasons, and in doing so – I realized that as we grow older – we go through an awful lot of endings.

I then decided that since not more then three weeks into the year – I have gotten re-acquainted with more people from different chapters in my life then ever before in my life. I thought about how happy I was to hear from these different members of my past. It felt like I was on an episode of This Is Your Life. Whatever reason me and this person no longer spoke, no matter how, why or how long it has been since we lost contact – and no matter what the circumstances were that made us stop speaking – either good or bad – I was as excited to hear from that person as if we spoke yesterday.

I enjoyed rekindling contact with these former friends, ex-girlfriends and best friends of mine. So considering the fact that I enjoyed our reunions so much – I decided that I would spend 2001 re-establishing contact with as many ex-whatevers of mine as I can remember. I want to re-visit and get re-acquainted with every single person that I can remember having contact with.

Whether we were ex-lovers, ex-friends, ex-co-workers – or ex-best buds – I think too much time has passed that me and that ex-whatever are not remembering how much fun we used to have – and not having fun again.

So take warning now – if you ever had anything to do with me in the 29 years that I have walked the face of this Earth – expect to hear from me really soon.
