2/2 again in one day. I'm good! or sad... In a survey I filled out on here not more than a day or two ago, I included a number of my close friends. But I feel like I've left some out. When I read that line, I thought of people I could tell anything to without embarrassment or hesitation. I did leave some of my good friends out of the bundle, ones I've talked to more recently and have come to know over the past couple years. My intention here is not to alleviate some sortof of pent up rage in anyone, it is just to point out that I do acknowledge these individuals.
Shayla. Although Shayla and I have had our ups and downs, we have come to a happy medium where we can enjoy each other's company. I think me being her boss for quite some time didn't help our relationship any, because she is a dominant woman! In the past we ran into our ruts... but I am completely comfortable spending time with her, don't mind talking to her, or sharing thoughts now. I am glad we could work through our differences and have something better in the end to show for it.
Justin. I have never known someone so devoted to work than Justin. More devoted than I am! lol. joke. laugh its funny. However, it was to the point the last few months where he was so devoted that we didn't talk much anymore. I was always there for him and I always will be. He got rid of his job now which I think is better for him in the long run. School is a time to enjoy social life, friends... you got the rest of your life to work. Even though he thinks I don't enjoy his long-ride home calls, I do. I enjoy his movie nights even better when they occur. I think Justin is finally starting to realize what comes first. I just know he has always been a good friend, and I wouldn't think any less of him.
Nikki. I think I wrote this once: "I'm not going to play on names here... Nikki is a very cool person and never looks at the dark side of life. Her undying enthusiasm can only be returned with a smile. I don't know what I would do if Nikki wasn't online to receive my organized confusion. And Nik, don't try make unfathomable goals. You'll end up hitting the post. :) Yeah, Nikki is just really a great person and a joy to hang out with. Everyone else should be jealous. Stay cool, you rule." Meant it then and still mean it now. I've talked with Nikki alot more in the past couple months. And have I told her things more personal also. Sometimes I don't know what I would do if she wasn't online as I stated such a long time ago. She is easy to talk to and listens well... when she isn't "multi-tasking." ;). I think I said, "Forgotten but not misplaced..." Wouldn't trade our friendship in for a cute kitten (or the world).
Julius. Julius and I go way back. Back to good ol' german class with Frau. I remember the great times we had kidding each other then, building our classic army men gingerbread house, and talking smack about ball. Eventually we came to playing ball, and he wan' talkin' no mo. lol. I'm just messing with you man. You know I could cross you up so bad whenever I want to. :) But yeah. Slowly we started talking about our school, our work, our girls, our life. We have become pretty tight friends, always trying to get some ball in here and there. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have a homey back home to shoot with. Thanks for always being there Jay. And don't forget I'll always be there for you too!
Amber. Always enjoy my conversations with Amber. They are always off the wall, usually all over the place... and sometimes they are close to home, ie her kitties. awww :) I love to be there for her, and able to help her through confusing times and/or rough times. And she has always been there for me too. I think I said this once about her and it still holds true: Too bad there is a character limit, cause I could talk all day about how cool Amber is. She has a contagious personality, daring humor, and a heart-warming smile. I have enjoyed hanging out and getting to know her. You rule Amber!
Richard. That's all I have to say about that. *laughs*. Just kidding. Boy, rich and I go way back too. Back to the days of Kick the Cone, football in the backyards, soccer, baseball. Those were the days eh? Yeah, even though college has drawn us further apart physically and socially, I still enjoy every last minute of his company. He can come up with some of the most hilarious things and not even try. He can be quite intimidating at times for many different reasons (sports, computers, etc), but that is what makes richard... richard. Anything different would just make him ordinary, and that isn't what you find in the dictionary under his name. Here again, another good friend.
Anyone feeling left out? Because don't. I really do think about all my friends and how lucky I am to have all you guys. You make my world spin. Without you I would just be some dusty top in the corner of the room.
That brings me to a point. What makes life interesting? Is it your job, is it your personal life, is it your friends, is it your hobbies, or is it you? I want you all to think about it, because sometimes we forget where we came from, why we are here, who we are. Just remember that you have friends, no matter where you go, and they will always be there for you. Even when your life seems to be in a rut, then can help push you out. I know I will be here for any of mine. Will you?
