I am reminded of a saying: "A good friend will bail you out of jail. A best friend will be sitting in the cell next to you saying "Fuck! That was a good time!" (Okay, so I paraphrased a bit.)
I give thanks for my best friends: Maurice, Elliot, Kenneth, and Ben
Best friends go through life sharing the up and downs of that fucked up crazy roller coaster and comr out stronger than before. We piss each other off, play tricks on one another, tease and pick on each other to the point of explosive annoyance and still call each other week after week, day after day just to hear each other's voice.
My friends know that I'll give them my last dollar AND the shirt off my back by asking. I'd happily give my life for my best friends!
I've learned that being a nice guy doesn't mean I need to let people walk all over me. Being a gentleman doesn't mean I have to be a nice guy.
