stages of development

apparently blogspot offers many people peace and a place to be witty. I hope to find neither. no. that's a lie, I hope I find both with some other additive elements of joy.

So my life currently is in the intimacy vs isolation stage, according to Erikson's theory of Psycholsocial development. Erikson proposed during this stage one must develop friendships and companionship or the crisis of loneliness will occur. what Erikson's didn't mention is the absolute need for bright eyes in daily dosages. It seem each psychosocial stage I go through is accompanied by a some band that speaks to my innards. during identity vs. role confusion stage i was on a steady diet of saves the day and The Ataris (I know, so 5 years ago).
Anywho, Conor Oberst seem to have "my number" in this stage of intimacy vs. isolation.
" So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me"
