"The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?"
What's with all the friend quotes you ask?
Well a few of you may have an inkling as to why. I have some great friends, and I'm lucky to have for once in my life an abundance of good friends I can trust. I can comfortably say that the majority of my friends are best friends, one's that will and always have stuck by me, and who are there when I need them most. This entry is for them. Just to show my appreciation for everyone, and know that I truely love the bunch of you. I know you all accept me for me and love me for me, and wouldn't have me any other way. Over the past couple days I learned that one of my best friends doesn't feel this way.
"Too late we learn, a man must hold his friend
Unjudged, accepted, trusted to the end."
Thats how it should be. In life you gotta be open minded and accept people for who they are, and love them for it, that has always been my creed.
Steve- You have become one of my best friends, someone I love dearly, and know that I can rely on more than anyone to come help me out in time of need. You are always there, ready to help me with anything I need, whether it be with the band or if its to come pick me up and take me for a ride if I need to get out of the house and talk. Thanx dude.
Joe- My brother,my partner in idiotic mischief, you have been there for years whenever I needed advice or someone to talk to. You have always supported me and been my idiotic twin, haha. I can't wait for the summer when you're home again. Thanx.
Geoff- We haven't seen each other for a while, which is a total bumout, I miss ya dude. I can't put into words how great of a friend you have been to me, and how much love and respect I have for you. You became my favorite person to hang out with, to talk to about anything, and the best listener when I needed someone to lend an ear. You've done but nothing but show great love and companionship towards me, and I appreciate it more than anything. Thanx.
Hollie- You mean the world to me, and words can't describe the love I have for you. You have become such a great and loyal friend. You're the most beautiful person I know, inside and out, and blast to be with. You are there for support when I need it, and I have much respect for your sense of righteousness, you are truly wise beyond you're years, and you never cease to amaze me. Thanks so much for everything.
Jim- My older brother, my role model. Without you I'd be lost. You have helped me find myself in so many ways, and I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for you and your guidance. I have looked up to you for the past 13 years of my life, and you have been such a great inspiration for me. And whenever I was in the direst need of help and advice, your sagacious words always let me know everything was going to be alright. For every question I have had, you have had the answer. You have given me more chances sometimes that I deserve, and I appreciate that as well. More than anything, thank you for being one of the best things to ever come into my life.
I love you all so much, and I just want to let you guys know how much I appreciate you all and all that you have done for me.
Chris- You are in here too. Friends argue and say shit they don't mean in anger, so just get over it, I did. Why waste time holding a grudge when you can be hanging out having fun, eh? You most of all deserve to be in here because I've never met such person with the heart that you have. You have seriously become one of my closest friends, one that I know if I needed to, I could talk to. You are one of the best dudes to drive around with, fucking around looking girls, having fun doing whatever comes from our screwed up minds. You are a great kid, and you're like a little bro to me. Thanks for what you have given me, it is much appreciated though you may think it's not.
