The most uninteresting thing happen today, involving a friend who, out of the blue, had a semi meltdown; involving a personal matter of which we all share -- friendship. Before I start rambling about "friendship," let me tell you a quick personal story. I, myself, am a "friendship" typed of person. I love having friends, homies, girls, aquitances, what ever you call it. I personally believe, that having a good friendship with people who (who you know more then 10 years) is a must, regardless of past experiencess you shared. However, I don't count the whole frienemies conjuncture to be quite legit in labeling a friendship. Simply because, negativity in a friendship should not be the core reactor for it's an impending meltdown. Anyways... yes, my friend had a quid-pro-quo a meltdown -- an odd one at that. An inconvenient meltdown, sorta like when Darth Vader reviles to Luke he's his father, when hes holding on to dear life of a deadly edge (thanks dad, but now?).
I sat their, listening to her, semi crying about friends. I drank from my vodka, and self-consciously, "no, not now." It's not that I didn't want to listen to her, it's just that... let's not talk about "it" now, since it's a buzz kill. Listen, I'm not a prune -- at ALL. I personally prefer if she would open up to me on a more coherent basis. I understand her frustration, since I have have felt the same way involving friends. I miss my friends, even though, I can get a hold of them quick -- the context for friendship is what I miss, and in all honesty, who wouldn't. I mean friends, built you, help you, guide you, correlate with you, and/or betray you. But the emphasizes of growing up (and this is just me) is to know that you have/d friends, and continue to be friends with who ever, because you have shared a connection in exchanging information (life, goals, laughter... etc) as long as you want, and are aware of each other personality. But you should also have a wall up, in case the friendship reactor blows up. To put it simply, you should know the type of friends you have, and who you can label a true friend. I have many friends, but not all of them are at par. Individuals in a luke warm friendship need to grow out, it's healthy too.
Well...here's the thing, we were all chilling, laughing, minding our own business, and then to be suddenly bob-omb dropped was quite the buzz kill. I agree with Luke -- jump off the effing receiver antenna... or in my case, keep drinking. My friend is alright, she just had to say a few things. I buzzed listened, and told her that eventually, things come to an end. In this case a friendship bob-omb.
