Friends... - Yeah, right...

[Tobias]

Doot...you are right. That is the single most important thing about friends. I talk with my friends all the time, and if i feel they are doing something that is pissing me off, i find out the reason why, which usually ends up in making things much clearer. It is the single most reason why i happened to basically turn most of my enemies into friends, or kind-of-friends.

Communication with a friend is very VERY important. I would know. The mental test that just went through my head last night from one of my two best friends is a reason why. Im not gonna get into details, but it was enought to not let me sleep last night.

So remember, communicate with ur friends, and ur enemies, and see what it is that they dont like, or what they are going through. All ya gotta do is pick up the phone, swallow ur pride, and talk to them. Trust me, they are gonna be overjoyed to hear from ya

That is all

better solution, dont get drunk with people. just get drunk when you are alone so as to drown away your sorrows. it works well. too bad there's only Amstel Light in our fridge, cus that stuff is awful as hell.

[GAAZ]

Well, ya shouldn't ever drink alone that's the first step to alchoholism. And only drink with friends who have no cameras.

But yeah, to relate my story to yours I mysel had a Homey once. I knew him for like six or seven years and we was homies but while I stayed my course he started falling into a bad crowd...The Bad crowd being a buncha artistical people (He started going to an art school). While SOME art people were cool others began warping him and turning him into some kinda freak that hated all sell-out bands (Still liked Eminem though...But hated Blink 182, but only when he realized it was them and not another band)

Then he worked for his dad and got PAID! Then he invested his money in drugs (I feel this was mainly because I spoke to one of his Ex GF's who verified he had then unholiest of genitalia but not in the big sense mind ya...Thought I'd add that cause I hate him now) because apparently he no longer had interests in women...He wasn't gay or anything it's just that the drugs were all he needed...The funny thing was that he only did weed which as we all know is perfectly fine and could NEVER ruin anyone's life...You know, now that he's unemployed an mooching off his drug dealer.

So yeah, I started to not like him when he went "Poser" then hated him at pot-head stage. Don't think I didn't try to communicate that he was throwin his life away.

Just remember, communication does work unless the person grows up to be retarded. At that point it's better to sever ties than get linked to a drug-crime.

Well, Doot, you know who Im talking about. And well, its true that friends need communication. But lately that person has been a bit bitchy and not thinking before acting and if I, as a good friend, tell him that he's doing wrong or try to give him advice, it just makes it worst and start bitching about it. So I decided not to advice anymore. Anyway, also, that person its been doing stuff to me on purpose just for the sake of being bored and piss me off. Anyway... in my opinion as a person who knows another for quite a few years I know he's changing and for the worst. Doesnt want to listen to me ? Then find new friends. I cant be taking care of a baby. Childish things are over rated and for a 23 year old, that person needs to grow up.

Oh well... Shit happens and then you die... Life's a bitch so drink it up...

az, drinking alone can be just as bad as drinking socially, but i feel its a lot better in some ways. first of all, when drinking you are more succeptable to peer pressure, second of all there is no reason to do anything stupid (those two reasons could be considered one, but theres a difference). when you are drinking socially there is of course peer pressure, but there is also the internal feeling that makes every human being try to impress others that becomes more bold when drunk. ok im done acting like i know what im talking about, im gonna go do something irrelevant and dumb.

[Akira]

dude, i cant believe i just now found this thread...that sucks man, betrayel sucks. what i hate is when you go out and befreind somebody like in ur case aiman, and then they go out and ditch you. but i would rather have tyhat happen to me then what happened to you...people who do that...deserve to have the life beat out of them time and time over, because theres no humor in that. your right...they need to grow up. and i really hope that the same thing that happened to you...happens twice as badly to the person that did it to you..
i hope that somethoing happens tp them and they never have another freind again, and then they go crazy and live in a 6X6 padded room the rest of their life. its not cool at all.

[Tobias]

well, they werent right, but still Akira, one should not wish the misfortune of the other like that. As said in trigun, no one has the right to take the life of another, and in that, it isnt only physically, but spiritually. Also, remember the great and awesome saying, which is personally my favorite saying in the world: "Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer."

Yes, i have had the times when i wished that some ex-friends of mine would collapse and die, but i realized very early on that it wouldnt do me any good wishing of their imminent and fatal, or cataclysmic future. Rather, just keep ur eye on them. I know it is the more pacafistic way of things, but i feel that it has more benefits than just pure anger towards one person, because that just causes ur lvl of person to drop way down, and it keeps you in a bad mood, and then you have a bad mood trigger, which is NEVER good to have.

But hell, for the fun of it, u can make abig cardboard cutout of him, and beat it senslessly with a baseball bat. That would also help vent the anger

That is all
