The I'd's of March

I'd like to... I'd have done that if.... I'd rather... I'd rather not... I'd appreciate it... 
I was thinking about the Ides of March, when all of a sudden it became the "I'd's" of March.  I pondered how many ways and how many times I use "I'd" in a given day.  And it's interesting that "I would" and "I had" are both phrases that take us out of present moment consciousness.  "I would" is some sort of weird future past tense because you use it to talk about a future event but with the past tense of "will" - such as "I would like to go to my friend's house" or "I'd be interested in hearing more about that."  I've even tried to substitute active, present tense verbs and haven't found a good substitute.  But I'd like to hear from other people on this!  (hahaha)  So as the Spring breezes blow us into April, I will mindfully beware the I'd's of March!  (But I must say it is fun using two apostrophes in one word!)

    Hmmm, current definition of myself:  A "Brian-tologist" -always looking on the bright side of Life!  (Monty Python fans will be whistling along at this point....Everyone else will have to rent the movie "Life of Brian" on Netflix!)
