What To Do About HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS

23 Jun 2009 by Terry Barga, 4 Comments »

Friends can be like hemorrhoids… they are great when you are just standing around, then you go to sit down and relax, that’s when they can be a real pain in the, well… you know.

Getting through life without your friends can be tough as well. It is always nice to have someone to tell you that you are not crazy, or in my case that I am crazy. My friends have a special way of telling me that what I want to do is not cool, by not showing up! Which is all right I guess except for the fact that I am always doing what they want. Am I whining too much? Well nobody is forcing you to read this… ok don’t leave, I will stop, I will do what you want.

Even though I have a lot to complain about I can say that I have the best friends in the whole world. And if that isn‚Äôt cheesy then nothing is. No but seriously, my friends have been responsible for a lot of good things in my life, I am sure you would like to know? Well too bad, I am going to tell you anyway, things like: introducing me to my wife, in turn also responsible (indirectly) for my kids, I have one friend that has made me love football, as well as one friend that acts like he doesn‚Äôt like anything I do… but he still comes to my house all the time, not to mention the friends that I am playing pranks on… these friends are especially great because they keep coming back for more.

Having said that they still stand me up, and I don’t know why. So what am I going to do about it? Well, I guess I will have to be more clever with either the pranks (payback) or finding better things to do, whether I like it or not. From here on out I will start building a set of friends that will do whatever I want to do plus the friends that I know will be there no matter what. This will be cool but I will have to make sure they never meet because if they do we may have some drifters, side swappers if you will. This will only lead to disaster if I am as bad at picking things to do as my friends think I am. I won’t stand a chance.

Oh well, I guess I will go to the ale fest, or swim in the river, or go see any movie with Vin Diesel in it on my own. Oh yeah, one last thing, you guys should come over tonight we are going streaking, don’t worry everyone will be there.

    Ha… oh man.. remember this? I remember the ale fest and the river and the movie. We have certainly come a long way.

    I don't stand you up anymore… maybe you are much better at picking things to do… or perhaps you know which things I will not do with you… like go see a Vin Diesel movie… haha.

    Me, Nate, Dave, Steve…

    Nailed it! This came after the ale fest of 06 when I was like “hey lets go and check out the ale fest” And you were all like “sure right after my route canal”. I did get you to jump in the river with me, good times good times!

    I miss playing pranks on Steve I guess I will keep trying to get ANdrew across the street, his reactions are unique.
