So I’ve had an unusually emotional 24 hours or so. Nothing crazy, but just on of them weeks.
Either way, had one of those moments that couldn’t do anything but make me smile.
Called my boy Will, my oldest friend. I’ve known Will since I was 7 years old, and we’ve rolled tight ever since. Only thing is we don’t get to talk that much on the phone. Since I graduated from HS before the cell phone boom, we never got each other in the regular calling rotation like that. Plus, I’m not sure the last time we could keep a phone conversation within three hours.
But I was riding today and Tribe’s “Check the Rhime” came on. That prompted me to shoot Will a text.
“You on point, Will?”
Now, this was about noon on a work day (when you work at home, you can send random texts in the afternoon). I don’t think we’ve talked in weeks. And this song wasn’t a reference to anything we talked about all the time or anything. But, like clockwork…
“All the time, Bo.”
There’s always something to be said to having one person that always knows what you’re talking about, yanno?

indeed it is good. Great post…
Reminds me of a text I sent my best friend up in Camden, NJ over the weekend, to which he responded, “A Jelly Doughnut…”
Always on time to finish the movie lines.
(‘Full Metal Jacket’ is the correct answer)
“Full Metal Jacket” is one of the most quotable movies of all time. “Hell, I like you. You can come over to my house and fuck my sister!” “What is your major malfunction, numbnutz?” “This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine” (did you know that line makes makes a decent haiku). I bought that movie on DVD 3 years ago and I still haven’t watched it all past Boot Camp. I can’t stop rewinding it!
You’re blessed. Cherish relationships.
I know exactly what you mean. My best friend and I havent been able to shake each other for about 20 years and out connection is so crazy that we can not talk to each other for days and have the same ailments
But yeah that is really a great thing
