Well first off, there are very few people I really consider my friends.  Here is a list of a few of the more notable ones.  If I forgot you please e-mail and let me know.

Shawn    This is the person I consider to be my best friend.  Shawn graduated from Oregon City High School one year after me.  Right after high school he went into the Air Force.  Shawn spent some time in Korea then after a little misunderstanding(and bad timing and just all around bad luck) he got assigned to the Air Force base outside Rapid City, South Dakota.  He is back know and married to a pretty lady named Erin.  They seem to be genually happy together so i hope the best for them.  Erin is extremely nice and a kick to be with.  They had 2nd child together a bit ago and are doing the happy family thing now.

Tyson    Tyson is the friend I consider to have the most brain cells of everyone I know(that is everyone in HS, work, and ALL hobbies).  Tyson is the person that I expect to see at a HS renunion as the new head of MICROSOFT!!

Jason      Jason is unique even among the crowd I hang with.  First thing you see about Jason is the fact he is a midget.  The second is that his EGO makes up for it.  He is a nice guy and a good friend but his personality rubs a lot of people the wrong way.  Jason has mellowed out the last few years.  Right after HS, his general attitude was PARTY, PARTY, PARTY!!!!  In the last year he has got to the point of only every now and then he party's hard. In the last couple years he even found a woman he wants to settle down with and got engaged.

Jarod    Try to picture a moving freight train combined with the personality of a con man, the heart of a teddy bear and the a high level of intellegince and you have Jarod.  Jarod is one of the people I expect to find either running for congress, working at a used car lot or on a wanted poster.  But through it all he is a good guy.  I know if I need my back watched, I can count on him.  He is also a ladies man.  Jarod has the ability(and body) to be able to hit on the most beautiful women and get something going with them.  Considering my personality now and when I met him, I still have a long way to go to achive the "Adamantium Balls" that Jarod has(for pulling off stunts that would get me in trouble in a half a heartbeat).

Josh     Josh is my borther, the dork is has actually mellowed out over the last few years, mostly thanks to his son. He has shown responsibility and consideration that I wouldn't of thought of him.  If anything ever comes down to the wire, I know he has my back and I have his. Those that have known both of us for a while have said that we are opposite sides of the same coin. The older I get the more I see that to be true. With as much as I would like to throw the kid off of a building , I still love him and god forgive the person who forces me to go against my brother because the next person I will turn on is them. To that same note god help the person who pisses both of us off because there is nothing on earth that can stop the two of us when we work together.

Jimmy     Jimmy is the pride and joy of the family.  He is the first child that me or my brother has conceived and he is one of the cutest kids I have ever seen.  He is extremely smart, tough and courious.  I see so much potential in him I wonder what my own kids will be like.  Here is a pic of jimmy.  gotta love the little tyke.  He is my buddy and I'd do anything I could for him.
