There seems to be two kind of people in the world, as they relate to me.

One type of person and I only seem to talk about the past. Their past, then my past, or if we've known each other a long time we can talk about our past. But the conversation rarely goes anywhere in the future, or the present.

The other type of person and I talk about the present, and the past. My day, their day, something on the TV or in Russia AND my past, their past interweaving them in one coherent (and to me far more interesting and appealing) dialogue.

Now Both tyoes of people seem capeable of both types of conversation and thought-process; however, personality and chemistry seem to dictate the conversation relationship between us.
