A Little Bit of Chemistry

For me, a night out can feel a little bit like a grand experiment; everything just needs to come together in the right way or else, it just does not work. Worse, sometimes it all seems to blow up in my face. So imagine my surprise tonight when the night out just worked and all the elements needed - good friends, great conversation, a nice atmosphere, a little bit of booze, some munchies and a general joie de vivre (told you it was a pretty intense, multi-stage experience) - came together in just the right way, at just the right times. Even a sudden down pour and some flooding did nothing to dampen the mood (no pun intended) though it did make things a little more heated and crowded indoors and end my night a bit earlier. 

So here is to the grand experiments of life: to all the moments that seem to arise from nothing, but probably had some precedent as "energy is neither created nor destroyed". Here is to embarking on the pursuit of just the right elements to make things work for you - in life, in love, in general. Because without a little experimentation, no one figures out what they need to make it work or what should be removed to make the end result exactly the outcome you wanted.
