I Drink Too Much Whisky

Dear Colin, Eduardo, Julia, Ian, Carter, Mike z, Evan, Pam, and Michele:

You are my post-college new friends and you are very important to me. You are within a group of people that I have not met because we grew up in the same small town or because you we took a class that time together, we became friends through mutual close friends, or I met you in a bar where, out of the hundred other people in the place, we started talking, and we have made it a point to see each other again. Or in the case of Michele, we worked together, and developed a bond by joking about smoking crack.

You all bring out the best in me. You are spontaneous, absurd, outgoing, smart and generally have pretty good taste in music. I often wonder why any of you are my friends, I only strive to be the things that I just described you by, and I think I only achieve those qualities on my best days - and rarely all at once. Frankly, most of the time, I think I'm love-obsessed over-analyzing prick akin to Woody Allen during those years when he made shitty movies.

So thanks everyone for being you. We have a long life to live and even if I don't see you for five years at a time, I think our friendship will always remain very strong. Sounds cheesy, but hey good friends are hard to come by.

To all my friends that I've known for a long time. If we've talked in the past 2 months, I think that says something about keeping friendships alive, and there is something there. To all those I haven't talked to in two months, I guess I'll see you at the reunion of whatever thing we are reuniting for.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
