im watching sex in the city right now. yes i said it! i dont make a habit of watching it but i do find it interesting.
its not that i relate into the non stop quest to find love like they do, but the fact that the they are all so different. four friends that are in a way all opposite of each other.
and it makes me think of me and the friends that are still a part of my life.
i called my boys from back home on sunday. they were in northern minnesota for our annual ice fishing trip. which basically is a weekend for them to get away from their wives, drink beer, chew, play cards and watch old 80's porn on VHS. and we tell stories and re-live times from our past. and we usually make a few new moments that add to the chest of stories we have from this sacred weekend.
the thing is, there have been times i have felt i dont fit into this group anymore, and i have not gone on this yearly voyage because well, i just didnt feel i relate to them or they see me differently now as i have changed and evolved as a person.
but the last couple of years, i decided to give it a chance and go with them. and i cant tell you how much i missed being with them this year. i mean its always the same. lots of beer, chips, loose meat in a crock pot. no matter how much i try to class it up with some smoked fish, and good cheese, they dont care. i still set myself up for being teased for trying to class the thing up a bit.
but i get it now. after i called them sunday when they were all half in the bag after the super bowl. i laughed my ass off at what had gone on there. just the stupidity of the boys being boys. even if they are men now.
so i think of them, and i know why i still love them. and no matter how i change, i really dont see them fading from my life. ill keep being the odd man out because of... well im in LA, and im a "hipster" to them and im thin, and neat and im single.....but they will still be my boys.
