So, for about the 3000th time, I've started a blog. Hopefully this one will stick and not just be an address out there in the series of tubes. I'm pretty self conscious about sharing my writing (and I'm 'supposed' to be a writer!) but seeing my friend Jason give it a go? I might as well hop back into the pool headfirst!
I've had a lot of friends come and go in life. People get busy, things change and friendships gain a little bit of distance in them, no big. But these last few years I've been gaining a lot of perspective on life and the people who walk into and out of yours as you go and I gotta say, I'm a damn lucky man. I've got people who I could call after not talking for months, maybe years, and they're all willing to lend me a supportive ear, a ride home if I'm a little too wastey faced to drive, a couch to sleep on...You get it. They're good people who don't stop continuing to be good people and great friends just because we all get a little too busy working on the Rubik's Cube called 'Life'.
Friends are probably my favorite thing about this life. They accept you at face value and all the stupid things you do as you grow older. Listen, commiserate, dislike people you do, tolerate and love the people you do and all because of a mutual appreciation and connection that runs deeper than I think most people ever realize. It's ingrained in your mind just to do these things that we do as friends but when you step back and look at it. Truly amazing and a blessing.
This is somewhat sappy so I'm gonna wrap it up shorter than I usually like to post. Long story short, step back and try and see your friends for what they really are and it'll make you appreciate life and it's mysteries. Hopefully you all liked my little rants and I'll try to post somewhat regularly!
Stay frosty!
