Friends

What are friends to you?  There's no universal answer that I know of, but to me there are people that will absolutely bring what's wanted and/or needed all the time.  When you need support they do that for you.  When you need a kick in the ass they do that too.  I know that I have many amazing friends in my life and there are three that really helped me last night, so I'd like to talk about them for a bit.

Tracey, thanks for being awesome when I needed you to be.  First, you got me into a program that absolutely changed my life for the better!  Second, you always bring what's needed in all instances.  Thanks for being fucking amazing always.  "You get out of it what you're bringing!"  To use your saying, love you like cake!

Nico, you da man!  Love you buddy and I'm sorry for not being a better buddy to this point and that will change from this point moving forward.  You absolutely make me smile every time I think about you buddy.  You know how awesome that is?  Still have our picture from Chumleys as my background on my phone and have no plans of changing it buddy, you are awesome!  Also, my alarm clock is like 5 screens to the left on my phone and it's all you and your smile there, so I wake up everyday to that.  Thanks.

Katie, you are awesome babe and I love you so much!  Thanks for calling me out on my shit last night, needed it badly!  Every day is better than the last and I'm so excited to see where this goes baby!  You amaze me every day with things you say and do and I'm super lucky to have you in my life.  Thanks for being you every day; it's fucking awesome!  Anything, anytime, anywhere you need anything, I'm always there for you!

These are three of the most important people in my life and I have sooooooooo many more who would do the same.  It's awesome when you open up to and explore the possibilities that are out there!  Bring what all of you every minute of every day and see the amazing things that happen. 

"Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Or get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie

You find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think 'what's in it for me?' or 'it's way too far'
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who your friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back
wants to shake your hand
when you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down look up
and see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
A lot of folks jump off

When the water's high
When the weather's not so fair
When the well runs dry
Who's gonna be there?

You find out who your friends are
(yeah, yeah)
You find out who your friends are

Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
(Well man, I've been there)
Or get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare
(Man, I've been there)

Man, I've been there"
