Yesterday… and Friends…
Seemed like the longest day. Even today doesn’t seem to be progressing, even though I know that it is. It’s weird. And I didn’t even blog!?!? Or did I?
Don’t you hate conversations… that are pointless? I mean, I don’t care how much fun you had last night. I don’t care what you did. Or who you were with. I really just don’t care. Is that bad of me? I mean, I wasn’t invited to these wonderful festivities, not that I would have went even if I was. But do you have to call me with the updates of your fun times? Do I really seem that interested? I know I don’t. I know I have the ‘I-Dont-Give-A-Fuck’ tone… so catch it please and end the nonsense for my sake. Today is just not the day.
So last night. My friend called me at 7:30 to ask me to pick her up at 8:00. WTH? First of all… Grey’s Anatomy comes on at 8 and she knows this. And she knows I’m a fan. Secondly… you don’t call nobody and ask them to pick you up in 30 mins. Nobody can tell me that she just suddenly found out that she was getting off in 30 mins. And why am I the selected person she called, when she hadn’t even talked to me more than 10 mins all week? FRIENDS…. MR.SHOW… BOO FRIENDS!
And even though gas is what 2.02 here… the 10 bucks she offered wasn’t enough to drive 30 mins away, pick her up from her job, take her another 10 mins away to her house and return the 30 mile journey back home. Maybe it’s me. MAYBE it’s me. But friends… boo to them when they are not real. I could rant on her for a while, but I won’t do that… MR. INSIDE… think of Dan-yeezy… and that’s her in a nutshell fareal! Pregnancy stories and all! But… 
Now don’t confuse it. I am a people person. I love people. I love meeting people, conversing with people, laughing with people… all kinds of fun things with people. But hell sometimes… I like to be by my damnself. No phone, no computer, no texts…. just me and my good book or my good movie and it’s not because I’m antisocial. I just get tired of being the leaning post. The listening ear. The tissue grabber. The complaint box.
Then when I need to have anyone be those same things… Poof! The same people who needed me, are no where to be found… Friends… Mr. Show… How many of us have them? Don’t confuse it. I have friends. Real friends… I got maybe 6 of em. People who say they are my friends… prolly hundreds! People who know me… could be thousands. I’ve lived in Florida, Dallas, Houston. I’ve visited NY, Philly, Washington, Cali, Cinncy, Bahamas, I’ve met people… exchanged info with people… all over the US… And if I visited where they live, I’d hang with them. I’d meet up with them. But does that make them my friend? Most likely not. And now… I am actually involved in a conversation I want to be in… Obama/McCain talk. I won’t include you all because we all know how those go. By the way… I voted. Have you? Or are you in a city without early voting? And another thing… if you are voting for McCain over Obama simply because you don’t want a black man to be in office… bc “white is good and black is bad”… YOU ARE WACK. And if you are voting for Obama simply because he’s black… YOU’RE WACK-ER. And if you think Palin will be a great president in the event that McCain passes away… YOU ARE THE WACK-EST! And this is not a political blog either. So don’t hit me with the politics… I won’t go there with anyone.

Ha! You know where I stand on the Obama/McCain issue… and it has nothing to do with race. But we won’t go there!
I have a friend that calls me all the time. ALL THE TIME. Doesn’t care to hear about me but wants to run at the mouth about her life and all the boring shit going on. Like her crocheting projects, or what happened last night with her boyfriends sisters kids. I DON’T CARE. We were good friends back in the day, but now… we live far apart, our lives are no longer similar… I wish she wouldn’t call. Doesn’t mean I don’t care about her… I just… don’t care about her life. As long as it doesn’t end. Because then I would care… I think you know what I mean!
@apennieformythoughts - I truly understand. One of my closest friends, lives in Florida! And when we talk, its for hours. But the others… I really get bored with alot of ppl over the phone for some reason. I completely understand how you feel too.
It’s funny how you always seem to have more friends when they need something than when they’re all contented. And 30 miles is a long way to drive just to pick someone up after work.
@LultimaNotte - life seems to work out that way… eh? and 30 miles is a ridiculous amount of driving to do just to pick someone up who gave you last minute notice and is only offering ten bucks… but i try to be a great friend, i just dont like last minute anything and she knows that!
@ISLYMORE - She probably should’ve made sure she had a ride home before she even went to work.
@LultimaNotte - you would think… but sometimes she isn’t always the brightest.
pointless conversations suck ass….
you are a good friend… if someone interrupts my wrestling, I ignore the phone… if you’re dead, bleeding, or dying… leave a message… but you a good friend though… I wouldn’t have done it…okay maybe I would… but still…
I do agree w/ the time to myself… give me my space… sheesh… when my bubble’s invaded and scales are tipped… i’m not a nice person…
I leave the politcal talk alone… I ended up wanting to gut my debaters like fishes b/c they have no sense… wake up people… the last eight years have been terrible
(plays “My President”)
holler later

@dadj_21 - didnt say i did it. bc i didnt. i sat on my couch and watched greys anatomy. n didnt even feel bad. i mean, what was i to do? give up the time i have set to myself for her? and more pointless convo during the ride? no. i’m not a nice person either when i am bothered during my alone time! and i don’t do the political blogs… i might come Nov 4 but until then, i’ll leave my opinions about it to myself. and the last 8 yrs have been hell for America. America has fallen amongst continents due to the last 8 yrs… and the Good Ole Boy Party wants to continue it eh? i say… nuthin til Nov 4th.
All of America is wack.
And Grey’s Anatomy = awesome.
@meriibunny - America has been real wack lately. Grey’s Anatomy has been excellent this season. But it could be me… I could be the uber-fan.
Yeah, sometimes we do need some time to ourselves.
I agree. Pointless conversations make me sad. I used to give good eye contact and nod (signs that one is listening), but I figured that I’m not going to feed into their foolishness (for lack of a better term), and I stare at other things, read a book, or send text messages while they talk. Don’t waste my ears just for the sake of talking. If we’re all real honest, we could care less how people are doing when we ask, “How are you?” It’s all in good etiquette.
