My Friends and Exes

A guide to my journal

Okay this is basically designed as a reference for the journal. I intend to talk about friends of mine in my journal, I almsot have to because most things I do worth talking about involve them. So rather than having to explain who they are in my journal entries, I will simply talk about them here. I have upgraded some entries but left some simply because the journal hasn't been updated in three years. The new entries are the people I hang with now. if you'd like to read more current journal entries, go to LiveJournal.com and look me up. Name's bodhili there as per usual.

Chris O.

Chris is one of four people I consider best friends. I tend not to try to categorize people like that but these four are exactly that:my best friends. Anyway about Chris, I've known him for about eight or nine years. We met when we were freshmen in high school and generally share many of the same interests. Often times in high school we were mistaken for brothers both because of how alike we were in behavior but also 'cause we looked a lot a like. He is one of the most rational, reasonable people I know. I admire his resolutness in his beliefs, both in the fact that they make sense and that he doesn't particluarly care what other people think about them. He is also the most romantic human being that I know. Just about all of my ex girlfriends have at one time wanted to go out with him(sometimes while they were still seeing me). He is a god at poetry writing and I am consistantly in awe of his work. He is cool.

Brian

Brian I have only know for a couple of years now but since he is Nicole's boyfriend(hopefully future husband) I have gotten damn close to him. He is another of the four best friends and I dig him a lot. He shares a lot of traits with Chris, but in some ways is more reserved and in others is more open. He is very bright and seems to collect information the way I do. A very cool guy to hang out with and great to talk to as well.

Jeff

Jeff, Better known as DeliverMeTyler, has become one of my best friends. He and I met while working at Blockbuster and the two of us remained friends after our repsective departures from the big blue corporate machine. He and I are screenwriting partners and are currently working on three of them together. He also has my back more than anyone else in my life ever has. At this point, if the man came to me and told me he needed help disposing of a body, my only question would be "do you have a tarp or should we stop by Walmart."

Marsh

I have known Marsh for 11 years. He and I met at a video store at which he used to work. He has always been around for me and is always there when I need to talk or need a friend. We had a pretty major falling out a while ago that lasted for a year in which we didn't speak to one another. That year was tough on me in a lot of ways, mostly in terms of guilt but also in terms of a lot of anger. I don't want to get into those details here but we are friends again and have rebuilt what we had before, which is good.

Nicole

The last of the four best friends. I've known her since the beginning of my senior year. She is a very interesting person to me in that I feel very strongly about her without wanting to have a more than friendly relationship with her. For years we have told each other everything about our lives. If I need someone to talk to at three am in the morning she is who I go to, and she comes to me. At the same time the two of us argue all the time. It is never serious shit, never anything that we hold against one another, just little squabbles. I suspect that it is because of the esteem we hold each other in that we are as sensitive to the others criticism. I love her to death though and I don't know what I would do without her.

Adam

Adam is another friend I met at Blockbuster and have continued a friendship with. He is one of the funniest guys I know and on the rare occasions he is free or not sleeping late, I have shitloads of fun with him. He is into skateboarding and got me into it. He is currently my roommate.

Ashley

Ashley is the most awesome person in the world. She makes me happier than I have ever been in my life. To say that I love her would be like saying that the Grand Canyon is a little crack in the earth. I honestly cannot concieve of my life without her and we will be married in just a couple of months. I never knew that a relationship could be anything like this or that I could ever be this content. She currently lives in North Little Rock which sucks as we only get to see each other ever couple of months but soon that will be over and we can be together. I cannot say enough about her. She is the love of my life.

Ex-Girlfriends

Mary

Dated her for three years and married her for one. I wonder if anyone mentioned that to her as she proceeded to fuck her best friend for 10 of the 12 months we were married, by my estimation. Of course she denied the affair but given that calling her a liar would be like saying that Hitler was responsible for the deaths of a couple of people, its hard to take her word for it. The mountain of evidence for the affair is roughly the size and mass of Everist. Cheating wasn't the only problem, but it was a big one. Also, the lying was a biggy. The fact is, she lied so much that I am not altogether convinced that her name is really Mary.

Desiree

We only went out for like two and a half weeks. I had a great time with her and she was a lot of fun to be around. Then she dumped me to go fuck some guy that looked like Leonardo DiCaprio. End of story. She's also gained a good deal of weight, which to my estimation, is karmic justice. Yes that is right, if you fuck me over, you'll become really fat.

April

I went out with April for 2 1/2 years and I loved her very much. I wanted to spend my life with her, but we had some big problems. They say that the thing that bring you together is the thing that tear you apart. We couldn't communicate and instead of talking through things she would break up with me. After two years of being broken up with every other month I had to go. It makes me very sad.

Kara

Ugghhhhh...I wish I could just skip this section. She was not cool. She is a psychopath and I belive a paranoid schizophrenic. She thought she was going to give birth to the second coming of Chrsit. I don't know what I was thinking.

Geraldine

The only ex that I am still friends with, which is to say that I do't run and hide when I see her, although its been awhile since I've seen her. She and I went out for about 9 months in which time she slept with most of the men(and women I hear) in the city. I don't bear her any ill will now that all the VD test turned out negative :)

Brandy

My first everything( and I do mean EVERYthing). We went out for two years almost exactly in high school. She and I did some pretty shitty things to one another during the relationship and afterward. I have forgiven her, but she thinks I am the world's biggest asshole. I guess that is okay. She is married now and works three jobs so that her husband, who comes from a wealthy family, can go to an expensive graphic design school in California. And she said she'd never date another artist. She still fretts over our relationship. She once made noise of a restraining order because I had to walk past the window of her class to get to mine which was right down the hall. Pretty glad that I don't have to see her anymore, the whole 'psycho' thing at all.

So these are they
