Getting Linkedin With Meaningful Friends of Yore

While idling away the precious minutes tapping into the wide whirled web a smattering of random words and phrases (in an attempt to jump/kick start pinteresting material to sink figurative teeth), thoughts pinwheeled back decades ago, when attention attuned to forfeited, languished, squandered... college/university chums, whose persona, dogma, charisma... appealed to my contemplative, introspective, perceptive... prospective positive interpersonal comrades. Nonpareil ability to remember smattering college chums knowing their first and surname found yours truly in good stead, when surfing the Internet typing critical (race theory - ha) data within Google search bar for long lost buddies than daring to dial accompanying telephone number with various and sundry information experiencing successful results after a few (tailor made) swift keystrokes. At first while sitting in front of the Macbook Pro, no deliberate intent arose to jog memory bank housing dormant circumstances, thus I merely let thoughts aimlessly drift invariably ruminating about mein kampf in an attempt to craft another poem. An unexpected outcome regarding delving into the murky past, comprising my life and hard times where I dwelt in a bleak house, when presence of existential crisis even then did smolder within the bowels of me being analogous to a dormant volcano gurgling ala lava lee liquid rock. Nevertheless, I did manage to strike up warm rapport with a handful of fellow students, yet such found camaraderie fizzled and faded once I withdrew after matriculating couple of semesters at about half a dozen institutions of higher learning. Now I chide myself neglecting potential kindred souls, and ponder what meaningful outcome can be distilled from fledgling acquaintances that never given opportunity to flourish. More challenging to nurture lapsed prospect, but taking risks adds adventure to mine rather fluted humdrum existence.
