its been a while
well this entry is not going to be one people are gonna wanna read except me, or dayne. tonight was rather bittersweet. My bestfriend, Dayne, is leaving early in the morning so it was my last night to hang out with him. I say bittersweet because i did hang out with him but yet i know its the last time i will for a while. So much i could say about dayne, i mean from going to baseball games in middle school, to being in our band, car shopping, driving around in his spyder on cold fall nights with the top down, sitting in his basement listening to him play guitar for hours on end, watching movies, playing pool - and owning everyone we played, harvest inn before school and weekends, going to guitar center, saving me from yardwork and other times actually doing yardwork, snowballs at closing time, hanging out at the coffee shop, going to concerts, sitting in parking lots with nothing to do, drinking, just fucking everything. i remember calling him trying to start a band the summer after 10th grade after not seeing him for 2 years and him showing up and blowing my mind playing guitar. Ever since that day we would hang out almost everyday and me looking up to him because he was well, Dayne. He is so different from anyone i know. I guess i still wonder why he would want to be friends with me, cause i feel like i offer him nothing simply because he is such an all around great guy. Hes one of those guys who can show up and impress people that dont even know him no matter what social group they are in. We had SO many good times i will never forget. Truely my bestfriend. Hes always been a guy i knew i could count on and i know i still can. I feel selfish for not wanting him to go away but i know hes moving on to bigger and better things. I know deep down he is going to make it as a musician and i am so excited FOR him to be going off to berklee and starting his career. I guess thats maybe one of the many glues that held us together as bestfriends, music. He has such a wide taste in music like me so i guess that was a big thing we had in common. and for us music is such a big part of our lives, almost all of our lives, that it is a big bond to have. I am truely honored to know him, let alone to be able to call him my bestfriend. I could seriously go on for hours as to how much he means to me. And in the off chance you read this Dayne, i know youre going to do fine and berklee and i cant wait to see you man. you havent even left but i still fucking miss you already.
