obliged

there have been lots of times in my life when i've been obliged to my friends. this past week was one of them. there have been only slightly fewer times in my life when i wish that there was some kind of a remote control that i could be fitted to and that my friends would have some kind of "pause" or "rewind" control over my own free will. but, fortunately for potential-victims-fascism-or-totalitarianism, no such device exists and free-will is allowed to reign, even among the very foolish and unwise.

thanks to my friends. you know what for.
