Yeah.

Why does it feel like sometimes that life just gives you a swift kick in the shin? Let me explain......

Although painful, a kick a in the shin is more of an annoyance. It hurts for a little while, but goes away pretty quick. Every now and then though, for a little while when you're doing something, you get a little twinge. It only lasts for a few days, but you don't forget it's there. After a week, you're usually fine, but sometimes it sucks until then.

About a month ago, I met someone unbelievebly cool. Great conversationalist, smart as anyone I had ever met, extremely kind, and dare I say very good looking. We had a moment. You all know how those are. For that one brief moment in life, you forget all about all the other crap going on in the world. The starving kids, global warming, the homeless, all the personal crap in your own life, and you just bask in the glory of this one fine moment. You revel in the fact that for this instant, life is perfect.

As of now, this has been more than a month, since that time. Through no fault of either party, things just haven't shaped out. There are things I could have different, things she could have done different. I don't blame anyone.

The day after was the kick in the shin. Now the twinge has gone away.

I'll never forget the moment before the kick.
