These Friends Of Ours
Feb 3, 2004

Do you have a best friend? I hope you do, because it's the greatest feeling in the world to have someone to talk to, play with, or just "hang" with. I have quite a few friends, but my best friend is the only person I lean on for comfort and support, and I hope he doesn't mind.

I've known Bill since we were infants, and with everything we've done seperatly in our lives, we are still as close as we were when we were young. If I need advice in life, business, or whatever I may need, he's there for me. As I am for him.

Is he smarter than me? You bet he is. Do we have the same interests? Yes we do. Do we agree on everything? No we don't. Not at all. Politics? We won't go there. Music? Yes, we both love Country music, but hardly ever agree on the same artists and era. I love the new, along with the old. He loves the new, and some of the old. Women? Yes.............never any problems there.

We used to frequent the nightclubs in our area, and always said, "You can't find love in these types of places" Well, were we ever wrong. I met Elaine when she was working in a nightclub in our hometown. When I first saw her, I knew she was the one for me. My first call everynight was to Bill. I used to tell him, "Come down and meet her" but I understood, he was very busy with work, and just couldn't find the time to come down. After a few months, Elaine moved on to another bar, an all country music bar. I was in heaven. I told Bill that he had to find time to come check this place out and meet Elaine. And finally, he rearranged his schedule, and came out to "The Club" I was so happy that my best friend, would finally meet my girl.

Bill was now a regular, and a very popular guy, by the way. He never had trouble with that role anyway. After a few months of drinking, dancing, (Well, trying to anyway) flirting, and just having a good "ole" time, it happened. Sitting at our bar, (It was our bar, Elaine ran it, I stocked it, and Bill filled it up with his "Groupies" as I called all the women that surrounded him) was a girl that would sweep Bill off his feet. Elaine introduced Bill to Carol. (Doesn't Bill and Carol just roll off your tongue.) These two crazy kids talked all night, ignoring me, but hey, I didn't care, they looked so happy, so I was happy. Shortly there after, they began dating. And as they say, the rest is history. People will tell you, you can't find that someone special in a bar, well, just ask us, we did, and Bill and I are quite happy.

Friends are a very important part of anyone's life. If you only have one good friend in your life, then you are a very lucky person, and you should thank GOD for that one friend. I'm glad mine is Bill, and to be honest with you, I don't need anyone else. I have to go now, I must call and ask Bill, if he knows the best place to get a pizza.
