Got a bullet to spare, don't want to send it your way...

"I could aim
But I could not fire
Got a bullet to spare
To kill my desire

Who's calling the shots
One of us must make the peace
To have or to have not
The fire has got to cease" - "War of the Hearts", Sade

I probably had one of the best Saturday nights that I have had in a while this past weekend - no ifs, and's, or but's about it. One of my friends from college (AGGIE PRIDE!!!) has set the bar very high for celebrating their 30th birthday with a huge party at the 1420 Room in Dunwoody. Cash bar, a magnificent spread of food, VIP seating, and a great DJ were just some of the highlights of the evening. Many mental notes were taken about the setup, and expect a little reproduction in a few months! I can't say enough about the great time that I had with my girlfriend and I thank all of my friends that came to the party that night for welcoming her to the group.

The one negative on the night for me was my interaction with my ex. One of my biggest fears at the onset of our relationship was that should things not work out, our common friends would have to pick sides or not feel comfortable with both of us in the same room. The entire night progressed with the two of us trying our best not to even look at each other after the initial introductions. All of which is incredibly childish in retrospect. If we can't be friends now, then what were we doing in the past? Perhaps I am sticking to my resolution for 2006 and making sure any baggage from last year gets dumped because there is no place for it in my future, or anyone else associated with me. Hopefully, I am imagining all of this and we only spoke once all evening because there were just so many people at the party. Whatever is going on, I know that I am in a happy place right now and I want all of those around me (regardless of our past relationship) to bask in that happiness with me.
