He asks for a little but requires a lot

After work, I needed to eat. I asked Dave if he wanted to have dinner with me to repay him for taking my photos. I love sushi and I love this place down the street which sits in an old church. Every M, T & W they have a half price sushi menu. I go in there about 1-2 times every other week. The hostess knows me by name. I feel like I've told you this on my blog before... sushi rolls make me happy!

I feel like this sushi visit was a revealing one as far as Dave was concerned. I don't think he's necessarily a secretive guy, but I don't think he allows a lot of people to know exactly who he is and to see what has happened to him. But I felt a little sad after. Here is a guy who I want to see happy, and I don't see that. He is happy functioning in anger and sadness. He has built a wall which tells people, "Hey everyone, I care very little about life so hurt me how you will but your bullets bounce right off of me". I am not claiming to know Dave perfectly. This is my perception of him from months of exposure. It is my opinion that you cannot be truly happy living a life as an "I don't care" kind of person.

After dinner, we met up with the rest of our bowling group for our ritualistic Wednesday night. I beat everyone the first game with my 147 score. It was a fun night of talking with Dave and bowling. I am glad we had the opportunity to get together.

"Against All Odds"

by The Postal Service

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you (ooh..)
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
But take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've gotta face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

But take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've gotta face

Take a look at me now
I'll just be standing here
And you coming back to me
Is against the odds
And that's a chance I've gotta face

Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now) [2x]
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now) [2x]
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now) [2x]
Take a look at me now
(Take a look at me now)
Take a look at me now
