Frienship is such a strange thing. Some people value it with all their might ,others take it with a grain of salt and throw it away.
Those are the ones I would not waste time worrying about, although I must admit in the past I have, now I don't care.



Friendship, like love, is one of the hardest things to define, to some. But it really is black or white.


so when u say it is black or white ? so you live in a racially diverse neighborhood? Or do u mean that either it IS or it ISN"T - their a friend or they're not

no inbetween

this I agree


It has nothing to do with the color of your skin. I feel like in today's world, this is what it comes down to. Either you are on my side or you're an adversary. Its never compromised halfway.

These are the illusions, that are not really here.
The dreams that fade, the friends that disappear.

yes I wasn't entirely serious about the racially diverse neighborhood thing that was kind of my feeble attempt at a joke

I meant the same as u - u are a friend or not no inbetween

what do friends do when their paths collide - when they want the same thing and only one can have it?

Sure it is.

They are called, 'Associates'.

I have lots of those.
Work with them.
Especially when it comes to the band.
We are neither like:

"Yo, sup dogggy dog! Slap me some tail! Woof!"

..and all 'friendly' but we deal, via, associate civil and do not engage in said actions that would proclaim visage persona as an 'adversary'.

Then I have friends. Mingle, say hi. :D

..and then I have my nemesis'. Like Politicians. That punk in the Stang... etc. :)

The same thing as in love? What do I do? I get it out of me somehow. If this is what you're referring to. Since its not returned back, there is only so much you can do there. I just get it outta me before it consumes my life. I think of it as Diane Keaton's character in "Something's Gotta Give," that's how I would handle it; as intense as it is, crying scene and all. Gives me a lot of great material to go on. Who knew something so sad could be such a colorful idea?

Now I haven't lost them all but a little short rundown. Had my school friends from middle through highschool. Got to college and had highschool friends and college friends as separate group. Then moved to the other side of the country. Got a couple new friends. Got laid off and so did they. Moved back home a little bit then moved over seas. New friends again. Moved back home. Hang out with college friends and don't hear much from highschool friends. Moved across the country again. Now I understand I moved a lot. Some of my friends got married and some have kids and I understand that. Idk it's just weird that some just seem to be uninterested in being friends anymore or just ignore me. May that's part of life. (though some of these friends were the type you would think you would be friends with forever). Maybe we have just gone different paths as I am an engineer and many of my friends from highschool went into liberal arts such as theater. It just has me wondering if I did something wrong.


IMO long term friendships survive because the people involved know what type of effort they need to put into maintaining that friendship. Some friendships don’t require much input, while others require more and it’s my responsibility to know how much of my time I need to invest in my friendships.

However, sometimes people just naturally drift apart for a variety of reasons.

I am sad I have lost some that I had. I must admit I am bad at keeping up friendships - they take a bit of effort. I am fussy with who I befriend as I live to give a lot in friendships. I also funnily enough find it easier to make friends with men than women. I often find men more non-judgmental and feel I can be more open with them. My friendships seem to be a constant turnover. I lose some - we just fail to keep in touch due to life events usually.
