Missed Connections

Missed Connections as a subject is usually loosely defined , as two people meeting quickly by chance and then losing the opportunity to continue to get to know each other. A glance on a bus, bumping grocery carts in a store, eyes meeting as you cross the street going in opposite directions. Lots of other scenes.

The theme is used over and over by authors and artists. Missed Connections is a movie, the subject is used in a NY theater production called Vignettes, and a group called The Upright citizens Brigade” uses the subject as comedy in their songs.

It’s a very well used subject in music. Frank Sinatra sang, Strangers in the Night. Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote about the subject in a scene from South Pacific. The song was called, Some Enchanted Evening.

Since it can be a real situational, situation, news media and websites have taken on the task of reuniting missed connections. Craig's List has moved their Missed Connections to the community section. London’s Metro Newspaper has a section named “Rush Hour Crush.” Where you can look for a Missed Connection. And, of course a website, www,gumtree.com, exists to help the lost find each other. Don’t leave out the obvious, Face Book, which is a great place to reattach people who have lost each other.

Personally, if I’ve missed a connection with someone, I don’t know it so the other half of the connection will have to make themselves known.

As for this blog, I won’t be online long today. We are experiencing a very overcast day with winds. The electricity has already blacked out once today and may again so I will post and be gone for the day. Electricity turning on an off suddenly is a danger of computer loss.
