The Tiers..

There's something Ive been contemplating for a while now, its about friends. I had an experience the other night one that made me realize something. Out with friends some a year old some lifelong. There's just something about friends that have been there with you from thick to thin, shared your hardship shared your tears and shared your glory. Lifelong friends are there, sometimes you don't speak for weeks sometimes for months but when you are with them others tend to be forgotten, not intentionally, not trying to place favour but there is just a bond between friends like that that wont be broken. If your an outsider to that bond I'm sure you will feel it, you will see how they interact you will feel the exclusion. Perhaps you will ask yourself why they left you out of conversations, out of jokes and paid you less attention then usual. Don't feel bad. It is just something you have to have to understand. Aidan, Kev, The Hoff. A highlight reel of memories amongst us from the days of Power Rangers in the sand pit, Balling on the asphalt, Real United and Birds Cant Fly, The 9 balls of Winmau, The band in my garage that turned into counseling sessions, Triple play baseball and laying out blueprints for your next sleepover, watching the exorcist in year 5 couped up in my music room. The Circus's, The Camps, The Snoring while awake, Handball, Bali, Club High and its $1 drinks, Rapping eminem on the benches, Kung Fu Fighting, Men In Blacking, Bob the Buildering, Orienteering, walking it out to Nelly. Years on from the Island, thousands of miles away, we still have guys day on V day, from CRT'S to Projectors, progressing through the PlayStation's. "Like old times" says Aidan and it sure feels like it. The future shines brighter with you guys by my side. That is the highest echelon of friendship you will ever find, or at least that I have experienced to date. If I ever run with the bulls I want you guys by my side. Friendship is a tiered thing, there is somewhat a hierarchy, friends who you consider lifelong, then the besties, then the friends, then the acquaintances. Sure there are exceptions to the rule. I'm just wondering what would a significant other be considered? Anyways, Just something on my mind I thought I would share. May we all make more memories in the lifetime to come!
