5. So.. About George..

11. So why are we friends?
Well, I asked George.. and he says it’s because we’re
lifting buddies.
He then pointed me to this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMSWWgGU6Z8
Here’s a teaser of it..
12. Now that video is a little (a lot) ridiculous, but I think
there is something to it. I think that by spending time
with anyone, you do connect. You relate. You trust
(especially if that person is making sure thousands of
pounds don’t crush you) (yes, THOUSANDS - I’m a
beast obviously).
13. There are other reasons why I think we’ve stayed
friends, despite our many differences:
- There’s a mutual understanding of where we’re each
coming from and the differences we have.
- We both have similar values, even though they
present themselves in different ways (Family, loyalty,
etc.).
- He’s one of the few people to whom I open up and
tell things, both good and bad (When I apply to things,
if I get them, if I don’t, my parents’ and their divorce
process, frustrations with people (and life), girls/
relationships, etc..
And you know..
I think he cares about the stuff I tell him..
And I’m the same way with him.
14. To quote that video I just told you to watch..
A cocktail of testosterone..
oops wrong quote
“It’s just two dudes [...] caring, being there..”
That took a lot of editing to make
it less awkward.
(I think it’s still awkward)
So maybe that’s why we’re still friends.
But maybe not.. I never know with George
See ya next week
