I can personally state that the single most important thing in my life,
|
|
barring my family, girlfriend (when I'm not single), and Gymkana are my
|
|
friends. So what's the big deal about friends? Well, to start, I belive
|
|
that any person that has close friends is able to enjoy life about 99.99%
|
|
better than anyone in this world without friends. Why?
|
|
I really don't have any reason's as to WHY it is better to have friends.
|
|
Personally, I think that anyone that doesn't have friends is missing out on
|
|
LIFE in general. Who else will
|
|
|
|
o let you crash at their pad when your tired,
|
|
o give you advice when you need it,
|
|
o comfort you when you need comforting,
|
|
o cheer you up when your down,
|
|
o slap you when your WAY out of line,
|
|
o bail you out of sticky situations,
|
|
o do all that other cool friend stuff?
|
|
|
|
I don't think any old strangers are gonna do it! I know for sure that really
|
|
good friends can help you out a WHOLE lot better than your parents will ever
|
|
do. Sure, for some situations, your parents are the ones to talk to...but
|
|
what about those odd situations? Imagine asking your parents
|
|
|
|
o gee, Dad...I just totally woke up with this chick I can't remember,
|
|
and I know damn well I didn't carry any condoms with me last night?,
|
|
o say Mom, I was invited to go out all night and get totally blasted
|
|
at this frat party, can I have the car keys?,
|
|
o say Pop!, you ever had that problem..where..ya know..you just couldn't
|
|
get it up?
|
|
|
|
Now, I could go on and on with those...but I think my readers will get the
|
|
picture. Everyone should have at LEAST one friend that can be there for
|
|
[you] should you ever need to do stuff. GOOD friends should
|
|
|
|
o be allowed to call after 2am,
|
|
o be allowed to tell you your too drunk to go anywhere,
|
|
o bail you if your about to do something stupid,
|
|
o be able to talk to you about big problems!

*** FOR THOSE of you reading this, and KNOW me as a writer, and are
|
|
WONDERING when I am going to get to my point, just spacebar to the end like
|
|
you usually do. For those of you who don't read me...keep reading. ***
|
|
|
|
Personal Stuff! Personal Stuff! Usually by now, my readers are
|
|
questioning what possesed me to write what I am writing, and WHY I wrote it.
|
|
Well, here comes the PERSONAL, true-to-life story part, and then I will
|
|
conclude on why these personal experiences told me to write this article.
|
|
If you think it's lame...well.. [censored]..
|
|
|
|
Last night, [the SHORT-SHORT version], I went out with a bunch of
|
|
friends to a University Of Maryland Gymnastics competition to watch our team
|
|
girls, and root for 'em. (Duh!) When we first got there, and scoped out
|
|
some decent seating arrangements, these IDIOT people from the opposing team
|
|
kept standing in front of us, blocking our view to the events. Myself being
|
|
the easily pissed-off-react-and-get-his-butt-kicked type, I stood up and
|
|
started telling these IDIOTS why they should move, and exactly what they
|
|
should go do with themsleves.
|
|
ZAP!!!!! Had it not been for my friends, I would have died. Usually, I
|
|
tend to use quite unneccesary language and remarks that usually get my ass
|
|
whiiped. This incident was not any different, except for the fact that two
|
|
of my [very HUGE, STRONG, and MEAN-LOOKIN'] friends stood up and backed me
|
|
up, and then forcibly sat my ass down. Score one for the friends theory!
|
|
I got myself saved from an ass-whoopin'. The idiots moved!
|
|
Later on that evening, I got snookered into doing a LOT of moving of
|
|
equipment around, and ZAP!!!!!, three of my friends stayed around and
|
|
helped me out. ZAP!!!! Friend-bondage....it rocked.
|
|
Even later on that evening, (and into the next morning), I crashed with
|
|
some more of these friends at their apartment, and they cooked for me,
|
|
offered me a place to crash (cuz it's a LOOOOOOONG walk to my house), and
|
|
entertained me all night long. What are friends for, eh?
|
|
The next morning, they gave me clean clothes, drove me home, and we
|
|
ended up all going out again the next day. Cool friends, eh?
|
|
|
|
***** OK, SPACEBAR PEOPLE!!!! CONCLUSION TIME *****
|
|
|
|
The main point I am trying to make is that friends are cool, healthy
|
|
for you, and necessary. Even if your not a brash upstart like me, you need
|
|
friends. Someday, you'll realize...that is if you don't get it now. SO!!!
|
|
Go out and get yourself some good friends. Pickin' em is your own buisness,
|
|
and I am NOT going to tell people what kind of friends they should hang out
|
|
with. With that in mind, I am going to stop writing. Let me just thank
|
|
really quickly those 'friends' that allowed me to write this article.
|
|
Thanks Danni, Michelle, Sandy and Monty! 'Twas fun. WAY better then
|
|
Centerville...and just as much fun as the 'loop. See ya all Monday!
|
|
|
|
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Peace, and look for more from me!
