How does that line from Mallrats go? “…and how they only concern themselves with peers and company that effect their noble goals and pursuits…” It’s something like that. Needless to say, (then why am I saying it?) there are those among my friends that do not fit in this category. There are those that I hang out with, have concern for, and devote time to that don’t really deserve it. I’m repaid for my efforts with lies, drama, and frustration. Finally, I find myself asking the same question that has been asking for a while.

Why?

How many times have I told that I’d come and spend time with her in Detroit? Nate, Cheryl, , , Mike, and in Ann Arbor? in Cleveland? Hell, Eric and Scott Thom in the same damn city… why? And now is moving from Royal Oak to Washington, D.C. I keep saying that I’m going to be a frequent traveler on Greyhound and Amtrak. What’s been the hold up?

I’ll tell you what. Instead of spending time taking care of those things that would allow me to see the ones I miss, I’ve been spending it with people that don’t deserve it. Spending energy on drama and bullshit instead of being a good friend to good people. I know good people that love and miss me. Why am I pissing life away on those that see me as a means to an end?

My wife is too brilliant for her own good. ;)

And, of course, to those of you who read this and are worried that I’m talking about you… ask me. I give you my word that I will be honest and straightforward with you.
