Truer words were never spoken. And a little word to the wise from this disciple of Cupid to all of you, never let the significant other in your life feel less important than a game (video or live action), a t.v. show, a sporting event, a job, or for that matter, anything else. Hell, I say extend that to family and friends too, anyone you care deeply for and who (presumably) shares the emotion. Love and friendship are the truly important things in life, forget that and you're going to end up spending a lot of time alone. Nobody likes coming in second to a game, and this goes double for the female of the species.
I say take a moment or two in your incredibly busy life and let someone (doesn't matter who) know you care. Stop MUSHing for a minute or two, stop playing the latest version of Final Fantasy, let TiVo grab an episode of the show you can't miss, set aside the role playing character you've been obsessing over, put down the project that's been consuming you, and think about all the people in your life that mean something to you. Drop them an email, or give one of them a call, or just stop by and say hello. Make contact and let someone feel like they rate in your life. It doesn't take much, and I promise you that whatever it was you postponed to reach out to someone will still be there afterwards.
But if you do it, do so because you want to, because you recognize that people are more important than things, no matter how nice, and new and shiney those things are. Don't do it because you think you should, or you'll just end up resenting that person and, guys that just defeats the purpose.
Just a little advice from me to you on a philosophical Friday.
Crunches: Ok, I was bad.
Deep Thoughts: Many.
