The Mind of a Lunatic

It's one of my best friend's Birthday today. I'm so glad that I made the effort to get back in touch with him via his ex-girlfriend. I got an email through from him this morning with his new phone number on it, so was able to speak to him today for the first time in nearly two years. He still remembers the old days and we can still take the piss and share our thoughts.
I was so scared that too much time had passed and too much had happened for us to still be friends. As it turns out he seems to have gone through the same sort of process as I have, having split up with his girlfriend (that he was with since school) at the tail end of last year.
Not that I'm glad, but it does make you feel a bit more normal to think that other people have been through similar things.

Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young.

There is a dream of one day owning a club. Both of us sit behind a mirrored window smoking cigars whilst watching all the goings on.

Here's to those boat drinks my friend ...
