For Brianna: 11 Sept 2010

My friend was having issues wondering who her true friends are….so I just gave her a little enlightenment.

  “when the time comes…you will see. People show their true colors under stress, peer pressure and greed. Those that follow too often cannot be a true friend. Those that are confident, that can think for themselves, that can honor a true …friendship by not backstabbing or gossiping…….are the ones that are worth your devotion and loyalty. Always treat others how you want to be treated. Simplest rule to live by. Sometimes we do not get the respect we give, nor do people we think are friends treat us as kindly and proper as we treat them. You will learn to filter out the bad. Always smile, and know that there is someone in the world that loves you at any given moment.”

Feel better hun.

True Friendship-04 Aug 10

This is a post I found on a forum.  It holds value.

“”"”"My great grand father used to say “If you get through this life and you have 3 friends you’re a wealthy individual.” That one statement embodies so much. I used to think that every one was a friend but that’s not true. As I go through life I realize that I have friends, associates, and aquaintances. Friends are those that I can show my wounds too and not have to worry about it being spread like wildfire that I made some dumb mistake. Friends are those who are going to tell me how wrong I am no matter how right I may believe myself to be. Friends are those who take the call and make the trip to be by your side in the darkest of midnights. Friends are the first people I call when I have great news. They’re the ones with whom I celebrate and cry.

Associates are those who are good for small talk with a little bit of depth. I can tell them I’m hurting but not all the reasons why. Associates are usually very encouraging. They’re the Splenda in my world. The sweetness is good but we all know it’s artifical even if it is made from true emotion.

Aquaintances are those that my great grand father would call “Grocery store people.” These are the ones you’re polite to because you see them but the relationship has no roots. Everyone starts here and has the potential to work their way up.

Friendship to me is a lot like a ship: Can it weather a storm or is it just good for sunny days with light winds? I’m 38 and I have 7 friends. I am a wealthy individual. “”"”"

Now it’s my turn:

Maybe it’s time for everyone to evaluate who is a true friend.  Sometimes we have many “associates” as described above.  We know alot of people that we converse with time to time, but we don’t know too much about them.  They do have the potential to be that true friend though, so don’t deny someone the chance if they are showing to be that loyal, trustworthy person that we all deserve to have in our lives.

To this day, I am still figuring out who my real friends are.  Even though I may not speak to them as much as others, I know they are there for me if I need them, and the communication is easy.  We do not need to see each other everyday to call them a real friend.  You just know.  BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The big thing IS communication.  If one person is always putting in the effort to communicate or see the other person, then it’s a one-sided friendship.  If this is happening to you, then sit back and stop being the first to initiate anything.  See how long it goes before your friend tries to contact you.  There is no right or wrong amount of time, but if you have to wait more than a week when you know the friend is quite able to communicate with you, then there is something wrong.  Then, it is up to you whether you want to put up with that or not.  Noone deserves to be ignored, especially by someone that claims to be a good friend of yours. 

 Let me guess, you have been there for that person no matter what time of day.  Sometimes you even rushed over to help in whatever crisis they were going through.  You have texted first, sent messages first and kept offering to do things for or with them.  Ok, then you decide to see if this is a one-way street by waiting to see if he/she reciprocates.  Some time goes by…a good amount of time, and you have heard nothing from him/her.  Now what do you do?  Do you confront them?  NO.  Do you send a polite hello via text or email?  NO.   You have to wait.  Or if you’re really stubborn, you’ll just forget about him/her and move on.  I personally probably wouldn’t do that, because I am too nice.

What makes the process of waiting harder, is seeing/knowing through a social networking site/mutual friends, that he/she has in fact been living a pretty average life.  Nothing too strenuous that would cause them to cut off communication from everyone.  In this case, I would consider a long flight to Fiji with nothing but clothes, passport and money a valid reason for no communication until that person finds a computer or telephone, because usually they will wanna tell someone they made it safely.

We all know it takes 5 seconds of someones day to say hello.  So, if you’re so fuckin busy that you feel you can’t do that, then while you’re taking your next shit or piss, send your hello at that time and maybe be a decent person and apologize for not talking or explain that you are busy but wanted to keep a bit of contact so that the other person was not wondering.  People use the word BUSY as an excuse these days and it’s driving me up the wall.  If you’re legitimately busy, then your closest friends would know, because you would take the time to tell them out of consideration.  But once again, we all take breaks from being busy, whether it’s a bathroom break, water break, or going to bed.  Send your fuckin hello somewhere in there, because you are NOT the president of the united states(whom is very busy), and i’m sure even HE has time for those that are important to him.

Last note, this was not supposed to be a rant on being busy, but it turned into that.  The focus here is to sit down and really evaluate who means something to you.  If you at all care about certain people, then make sure they know they are important to you.  If you don’t care that you don’t communicate….then you don’t deserve to have those good people in your life….because we all know they are there for you instantly, but you haven’t exactly been the best friend they deserve.

Insulation Dream? 14 July 10

Rene: “I can feel it everywhere.  Oh…My…God.”

I think this is the night where I was helping him unload insulation from his van to get the air compressor to change my tires.

It was pretty funny.
