My Best Friend
|
|
by The Chief
|
|
*================*
|
|
|
|
My best friend is one of those copyists you know? No, not those who work
|
|
with Xerox machines all day long, but those who do exactly the same thing as
|
|
you. For example, if you buy an expensive, special drawing kit for your
|
|
drawing class, you can bet your life on that he will have such a kit with him
|
|
the same day, or at the latest, the next day in case he forgot it that day.
|
|
You know what I am talking about now? Good.
|
|
|
|
My best friend and I have known each other for as long as I can remember.
|
|
From the first moment I started to have memories, he has always been there.
|
|
As a child, you are supposed to do the same things. You are controlled by
|
|
your parents and the school. You play with the same things. You play
|
|
together. You go up in the morning, you go to school, you go home from
|
|
school, play with your best friend in the afternoon, go home and eat your
|
|
dinner, and then it is time for bed. Your best friend does the same things,
|
|
because he, like yourself, is controlled by his parents and the school he
|
|
goes to. I my case, we went to the same school, to the same class, and lived
|
|
in the same block. Back then, all this was a part of my normal everyday life.
|
|
But today, I am getting tired of it.
|
|
|
|
My best friend goes to the same places as me. Like a shadow, he follows me
|
|
wherever I go. Some call these people 'tails', because they act just like a
|
|
tail attached to you. I like to call him my shadow. I can decide that I want
|
|
to see a movie that starts about ten minutes later, and who do you think is
|
|
in the same theater, at the same time, watching the same movie? That's right,
|
|
my best friend.
|
|
|
|
I don't even have to tell him what I'm going to do, because he is always
|
|
there anyway. When I decide to leave the car one day and take the bus for a
|
|
change, my best friend is on the very same bus. If I decide I want to take my
|
|
bike to school, who is there on a bike? My best friend. I planned to go to
|
|
Stockholm last weekend, to go to a couple of concerts with my girlfriend. We
|
|
planned to go there by car a few days earlier, but as it was snowing that
|
|
day, and as I didn't have winter tires on my car, we changed our plan, and
|
|
took the train instead. In the same compartment, on the same train, leaving
|
|
at the same time; my best friend.
|
|
|
|
Now this might seem pretty common, as we are talking about a best friend.
|
|
Someone who is supposed to be close, there for you when something happens,
|
|
and help you out when you need it. When you look at it that way, it is really
|
|
a good thing. But it is much more strange than that.
|
|
|
|
Whatever I learn, my best friend learns too. Whatever I know, my best
|
|
friend knows. If I ask my best friend a question about something only I can
|
|
possibly know about, he has got the answer. When it is my mother's birthday,
|
|
it is my best friend's mother's birthday too. When I met my beautiful
|
|
girlfriend, Anna, my best friend met his gorgeous girlfriend, and her name?
|
|
Anna. When I give my girlfriend a present, my best friend gives his
|
|
girlfriend exactly the same present. When I get a cold, my best friend
|
|
catches the same cold.
|
|
|
|
I tried an experiment once. I almost always wear a T-shirt and black jeans.
|
|
And of course that is what he also wears usually. But one day, I decided to
|
|
experiment. I rented a black suit, and decided to wear it to a party the same
|
|
night. I had never done that before, and I had the crazy idea that he would
|
|
show up in a T-shirt and black jeans as usual, like I always do, and then it
|
|
would be over. He would realize that he could not copy me all the time. Then
|
|
I went to the party. Of course I knew he would go to it by the way, because I
|
|
was going to it. Anyway, when I got there, he was already there. In a black
|
|
suit.
|
|
|
|
But why do you call him your best friend, when he clearly is a menace, you
|
|
ask? Let me tell you. My best friend is fun to be with. He is very bright, he
|
|
has got loads of great ideas and he is good looking. My best friend's friends
|
|
are great, his taste in music is good, he likes the same things that I like.
|
|
My best friend always has time for me, and listens to my problems. He is
|
|
always there for me. And I can always borrow stuff from my best friend.
|
|
Money, food, CDs, whatever.
|
|
|
|
My best friend is me.
