well, life has definitely been proving to be rather interesting lately. We had a good time this weekend with the girls and are trying to arrange a babysitter for saturday night so we can get out again...
When you push the limits, eventually someone will push back. Over the last few days we have been arguing with my best friend over Heather related issues. It seems that people got mad because we decided to go out with our friends instead of going to a birthday party. Honestly I didn't feel like going because it was for someone who is very bigoted, which makes me very uncomfortable. I chose to go have a good time instead of dealing with the drama that was sure to be at the party. Was I wrong to make that decision? maybe... but I made it so what is done is done. Its sad when a "friend" asks another if I will be over before he comes over because he doesn't want to see the way I choose to dress. All I can say is I definitely know who my real friends are. If I have to worry that my stretch jeans might offend someone I would rather find something else to do with my time. What is even worse is when a "friend" won't bring their issues to your face, they have to relay them through someone else. The way I look at it is if they really want to be a friend they will face me and say what is on their mind. If they cant do that then I guess the issue isn't worth overcoming to them.
I would rather surround myself with people who have the guts to face me and tell it like it is. Anyone know someone with the guts to bring up the issues face to face?
I'm moving forward with my life, wherever that may bring me. It's all about the here & now.... I'll deal with tomorrow's issues tomorrow.....
To all my real friends... you know who you are... Thanks for being there through the good and the bad.

Several things in this post that you might not think are important. You'd rather give up on friends then respect their wishes. That's a crime! Face to Face? That's not an issue, it can't be. The fact of the matter is one friend is asking you for another, for whatever reasons. You forget this is an issue of sensitivity for 90% of the world. Guts? Grow up; it's more like can you be mature enough to know a friend is trying to help. Lastly: "It's all about the here & now"; you forgot the "Me" in there; so selfish! This whole post is self-greed for what you want. “You, You, You,” where in any of this do you consider anyone else and their wishes? Face to Face & Guts? You make it sound as if you can change how they feel or what they want. Accept a few things my fellow CD: You, like I, cannot, and never will be able to change how people feel or what they want. At some point, you will end up as I, having lost all my friends and starting new. And why? Because like you I was selfish and greedy for what I wanted. Good luck in that.
