My "Friend"

This word has been a point of contention in my mind recently. I am a firm believer that we are lucky indeed if we find more than one person in this world that we can call friend, in the deepest since of the word friend. This kind of friend would lay down in front of a car for you. This kind of friend would stick by your side and defend you even if you are wrong. This kind of friend fights it out with you and calls you the next day because you are like family and neither of you would let a fight break that apart. This kind of friend can walk into your house without asking and will always answer your call. This kind of friend would never cast you aside when they met a girl, even a girl they were crazy about. This kind of friend is so very rare. 

 As I live my life I have come across many faux friends that would like you to think that they have these characteristics, but the truth is that there is always something more important to them and if that thing comes along then you will become nothing more than a name to them. They may even be there for you on the big stuff. But they could care less about the small things, the things that bind you to each other. 

 But the vast majority of people aren’t even this decent. The vast majority of people that I have encountered don’t have the slightest idea of what common sense is. They don’t understand that relationship takes work and effort from both people and that you can’t just call someone a friend because you know there name and spent time together once. If that is what friendship is then you can keep every fucking piece of it! I don’t need superficial sentiment and insincere greetings. I have taken too much of it recently and I won’t be around it anymore. I am done with all of you who would be a friend like this. 

 I have come to find that I value loyalty more than most anything else in this world. I have also come to realize that finding it is rare, and is something to be treasured. I hope all of you are so blessed as to find it here, in this world.

I was talking about Gibson!

3 Reasons I am a better friend than Gibson:
1. I have never eaten anyone's underwear
2. I have never destroyed a set of miniblinds
3. You and Gibson are NOT birthday twins.

Just some things to think about...
