In college, my first roommate told me this toast, and we used to love saying it, getting louder each time. Fun, you know, any excuse to drink right? Take no offence now.
Here's to Adam who stuck to Eve and gave the world a fuckin,
Here's to the bee that stung the bull and gave the world a buckin,
Here's to you,
and here's to me,
friends I hope we'll always be.
But if by chance we disagree...
Fuck You!
And Here's to me!
You can probably see where the loud part comes in!
"So what the hell is your point Mitch?"
No point really.
Just thinkin about friends. You meet a lot of people in life.
You're best buds with some for awhile, and then you go your own ways. Some you see again and some not. Some, maybe once or twice a year, and we act as if we just saw each other yesterday. Then, every once in a great while, or maybe just once even, you meet that friend that takes no introductions or small talk. You've been friends all your lives, you just happened to meet in the middle of it all. Ever have a friend like that? Circumstances may not always be right, and you don't get together that often, but when you do, it's like five minutes have past and you pick up where you left off. There isn't anything like a "favor" in a friendship like that. What's that ridiculous phrase? There are friends, then there are friends that will drive you to the airport, then there are friends that will help you move a body in the middle of the night? Morbid, and I'm certainly not suggesting anything by that (hehe), just that those are the friends that make you feel most alive. You can spend an hour with a friend like that in a car, no music, no talking, and never feel uncomfortable. Now that's a friend! Of course if you ever catch me not talking in the presence of others for that long, pinch me and make sure I'm okay. Okay?
So much for the fun silly stuff I promised in my last post!
How about another drinkin toast? Credit this one to Marilyn Monroe from Some Like it Hot, I think:
There once was a man named Sydney
Who drank till he ruined a kidney
he drank and he drank
and it shrank and it shrank,
But he had fun doin it didn't he!
Cheers!

Hey Chicken butt! I'll be your bestest friend, and if you want help toting any bodies around, just give me a hollar, m'kay!
Thanks lady! How about we start with the ride to the airport? Cool.
It has always amazed me as to the transient nature of people, someone that has made such an impact on your life will be a distant stranger next month. I haven't quite got the hang of it but that seems to be the way it is. So here's to keeping on keeping on, and I will be borrowing your toast next time the occasion arises. Cheers!
I believe we are all here on this planet for life lessons. And that individual you meet in passing that may just change your life was planned ahead. By both of you! I'm not saddened by the coming and going of friends so much, if we learned something, or took something of that person with us, the passing friendship was worth it. Good grief I'm only on my second cup of coffee...
