Friends and Charles Barkley.

I'm feeling frisky right now. Oh yes. It's the time of night where my homework still lies uncompleted, but my sloth mentality has worn off. Whatever follows next is a result of pure spontaneity and lust for acceptance by my peers. 


Ah. Friends. Take a moment to think of every friend you've ever had; since your first to your current set. How many have changed? Stayed with you this entire time? I can't even begin to fathom how my friends have influenced me, and I'm proud to say its ultimately been for the better. I'm not proud of the sad truth, however, that I have burned many bridges, and left some relationships wounded and unresolved. Part of this is mostly a direct consequence of pursuing friendships that are vain and ill-purposed; just for my greed of wanting lots of friends. There I said it. I am addicted to having a surplus of friends. It's a problem that has had many complicated repercussions for me, especially when it comes to choosing whom to hangout with. The choice always comes down to, more often than not, picking one group over another. You can probably imagine all sorts of douchy excuses I have used. The worst consequence is, by far, is spacing yourself from friends that actually mean something to you. Ugh. In the immortal words of Charles Barkely "That's Turrible".


LUCKILY I have an awesome set of close friends (you know who you are), that keep me honest and my jerk status to a minimum. Thank you guys (and gals). I guess these incessant ramblings of mine are my way of saying, talk to those friends you've grown apart from. Say hi to people that have moved away from you. I don't think you'll regret it.


WHOA. I'm sorry I just dumped a fecal-rhino-loads-worth of emotions on you. Tomorrow's will be full of sunshine and UNICORNS.
