If you trust in a bridge of friendship...

make sure that it's not built out of cooked spaghetti. It will not hold much of anything. And will tear on the slightest strain. Over the last few months, I am beginning to see that many of those so-called friendships I had were not built on the strong foundations of bricks, more like play-dough. And not even the good kind, that stuff you have to add water to it to even make it work.

The worst thing about all these is the empty promises most give, I'm sure most of you all heard them. Any sound familiar?

No we will always be friends. Nothing can come between that.

If you need an ear, I'm willing to listen.

Whatever happens - you got me on your side.

BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!

As I wrote in another blog, friends forever has a very short shelf-life. Like fish, it goes bad after 3 days. Now, I'm seeing the truth of it more. How can so many people "claim" to be so real about themselves, promise to always be around regardless of whats up with them. (work, relationships,distance, etc.)Yet, when you hear from them (if you do at all) it's short, clipped, even forced.) Well far be it from me to make you actually WANT to carry on such a mundane endeavor or to waste your precious minutes out of your busy, exciting life.

I think that the worst part of all this is just how most people can be so nonchalant about severing whatever you had on a whim. And for many times the most asinine of reasons. I will spare the words simply cause I know about 99.33% of you heard them on numerous occasions. No need to beat a dead horse worse than your friendships right? Just out the blue cease contact with you. No reason (oh wait they don't need to give you one - their choice they didn't need to. Oh I forgot) No email, call, text, mob messenger. Not even the common courtesy to say fuck you...goodbye. Oh yeah what was I thinking, they didn't care right. They just put a block on you, delete you from everything you had contact with, and what have you. And these are suppose to be your friends? Wow! And they do this to preserve something more grandiose right?

There is an old proverb that says: The truest wealth is in a man is measured by the friends he has. Well, then I'm going broke faster than Charlie Sheen at a hooker convention. Sure don't feel like winning on this one. It's an EPIC FAIL.

But, in the aftermath of all this, I guess I did learn something. Forever is not permanent. (give it less then 2 years maybe) Insecurities is the coin of stupidity and irrational thought. Loyalty goes as far as convenience will allow it. And if your friends are in relationships. Chances are you better start looking on Craig's list for new friends. Or by a dog. This does not apply to all but it does to a huge majority. And now I'm seeing the numbers rising higher than the national debt.

I will end this rant with this. Real friends hard to find - I learned that much and to those who are that. This does not pertain to you. And know you are appreciated beyond words. And those who can relate and understand this - know that your voice is heard. But those who are guitly. A perfect anagram can describe what a friend is:

Fraudulent

Ridiculous

Individuals

Effortlessly

Nurturing

Delusions

Think about that before using that phrase again...
