Interactions with your friends

I have to say russians are good friends to have. My wife had a coworker who came here from Russia, we became good friends. I shit you not this guy had connections for everything. I’m ninety percent sure his brother was Russian mob. He has a place in the diamond district in NYC and anytime I have needed anything this dude gets it at a price that shouldn’t be possible and when I ask he just says “no worry, no worry” and that ends any further questions I might have. The dude has a couple tatts on his neck, prob been to a Russian prison.

He is clearly not a good person. Do not hang around with him. Do not be another Donald Trump.

It’s not him I hang out with it’s his brother who is a clean cut engineer. We only see dimitry, the crazy one in the city and not frequently but he is a very funny guy. Maybe I should hang out with him more as soon Russia and the US will be one and dominate the world

Friends . What do you think we're doing here most days anyway . Really I find most I talk to today...really talk to not just hey how are ya...are friends from back in the days. Old work or school friends who have usually seen you at your best and at your worst. Being honest I've always kept people at arms length early on but once you're in then its bond. Somedays stand offish like a prick and somedays you cant get me to shut up. Have never been into big scenes or popular crowds and my tight friends I can count on maybe two hands. That said I've always hung out or talked to anyone and probably comes from youth when raised military so you move all the time. One year you're in white as rice suburbia and the next you're being bused into a gated bungalow school surrounded by 19 yr old cholo sophomores with full mustaches and hair nets. I've workmen on crews where no English was spoken and I've worked in clinics where I'm the only dude surrounded by 10-15 females. I've partied with gay straight and lesbian and never took time to ask for someone's tribal I.D to decide if they were cool. One year we met a massive cast who did Rocky Horror picture show and that was an eye opener. 20+ lived in a huge house by the theater and a couple of us would drop by to buy crappy weed and pocket cheap beers on the weekends. Not a straight person in the place and not our type of hang out but after being kicked out initially because 'you three look like skins' we actually got to know some well. Where I live now I see a melting pot from creole, Vietnamese, black, white to depending where you go downtown even some WTFs. People are people and who am I to judge. If you can get by my weird shit, occasional glare and bad metaphors then I'll buy you a beer. Life's too short.

Well I have to say it worked quite well. I blanked out my mind with the new dude and started fresh. I had to pry around a little to find a common interest but it seems he likes movies so we were able to talk about the old classics and from there I let go of my resentments and turned things around. In my defense numerous people complain about this guy, he is loquacious to the point where you might consider putting a bullet in your head or find other ways to numb yourself. I would consider drinking at work but somehow I became a featherweight with alcohol. It’s as during the week I still have a caseload of schizophrenics/bipolar a few years ago I had one come at me with a butcher knife he had stopped taking his meds and was completely psychotic. I had overnight become an assasin to take him out as he was a double secret CIA agent, mind you this dude had been in our program for years and never had a prob with him. That’s how intense schizophrenia is. I didn’t get stabbed that day so it worked out. The reason I bring it up is I can deal with all kinds of behaviors from all different clients but when I get to my weekend job I have a guy who drives me crazy. At the end of the shift I caught myself becoming annoyed and being abrupt but I was aware and took a few deep breathers and centered myself. It is only he and I running a 85000 sqft building so to have me being miserable all-night just ain’t gonna be worth it. He already told me a few hardluck stories and he went through some tough times so it’s all good. Gotta look at the big picture we are all walking wounded one way or another

On Friendship
Kahlil Gibran

Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.


When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.


And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
