what's in a name? and reminiscing

what's in a name? a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet....thanks shakespeare. anyway, my real reason for this is that i've been complimented on the name "circles in the sand" for the name as my blog. i like it, obviously, i chose it. to be honest though, it is the name of a scarcely known 80's song titled circles in the sand (imagine that). when i was five years old, that was my favorite song in the whole wide world. everytime it would air on the radio, i would become enraptured and i would want to dance to it. dancing, for me at age five, would equate dancing around in circles. so, i would make myself sick while listening to that song. ah, the fun of being five again....

you know, when you were five, no one complained when you would play with frogs and put them in jars. no one would yell at you for having a messy room. no one would care that you didn't have shoes on, or that you were running around the yard without purpose. just yesterday, while i was at work, i came across a little green frog like the ones my brother and i used to catch. my brother and i used to put frogs in jars, poke holes in the lid so it could breathe, and keep it as a pet for a day. we always set them free the next day. well, the frog i had just found at work seemed lost, and there was a pond nearby. i decided to let it go free, but when i was walking back, my father thought i had been lollygagging around. i told him i was helping a frog out, he said i needed to get back to work. ah, to be five again....no one yelled at you for playing with frogs.
