It's funny, I have never really thought of myself as a popular person. Growing up, I would say most people knew who I was. Maybe didn't "know" me directly. I wouldn't ever consider myself the popular kid. I was more of a relationship kind of guy. Well, with my close friends. I had a group of friends that were my group. That I could go to for anything at anytime. Then I went to college. Ironically for the most part that same group, we all went to the same college. But after a bit, that capability of going to them for anything at anytime started to dwindle away. Then graduation...then life... Snap to present day, I honestly don't feel like I have that one person that I can go to anytime for anything any more. Isn't that sad?!
I am on all the "social network" sites.  I have a gazillion friends, but I have maybe one that actually takes the time to make sure I am okay.  And the funny thing is, their are not one of those friends that I went to school with.
Now, I know we all grow up and do our own thing.  But what in the hell did God put us on this earth for to create such a friendship with people only to let that friendship disappear?  To let it go by the wayside?  Oh, sure, there are a million and one excuses we could use, "I'm just busy." "In the past we were just kids." "I live a different life now." "We are not on the same page anymore."  I could go on and on.
But is this what friendship is supposed to be about?  Is about excuses?
To all of my "friends": Let's not pretend anymore.  I'll be the first one to admit that I am a horrible friend. And I know there are some things I need to work on.  And trust me I will.
If you are one of my "friends" on facebook and I don't know you, I'm sorry, but be prepared to be deleted.  If you are my friend, and I do know you, but it's superficial and we haven't talked since you became my "friend" be prepared to be deleted.
I'm here to tell you, I need serious friends in my life.  I need people around me that love me and support me day in and day out.  If that's not you, I understand.  It's nice to have "contacts" out in the world.  But, I'm not looking for contacts anymore.  I am not trying to break some record for the amount of friends that I have.
I have a "Page" that people can like if you want to be a contact.  If you just want to follow me see what I am up to, well, I appreciate that, that is what this blog is for.
I know this all probably sounds a bit harsh.  But I am tired of reading all the junk.  I am tired of not having a go to.  I would say this isn't personal, but it's all personal to me.
I hope everyone understands.  And if you don't, I'm sorry, maybe one day we can still be friends.
