The Holtonian

Looks like i picked the wrong week to stop taking amphetamines

Marcus was right in About a Boy you gotta have backup. Which was what I was searching for at college—my backup. All my friendships from back home fizzled out after my freshman year at college because of my becoming a Christian. My jokes were not as funny to my catholic friends without the F-bomb dropped between every other word, and it felt pathetic to sit at Applebee’s and make fun of guys from high school that we hadn’t seen in two years. Once high school was over it was like someone hit the delete button on our frame of reference. So if i didn't make friends in college it seemed i was destined to roam the planet alone much like Captain Planet. It was imperative for me to establish strong friendships at Covenant so that I would have my backup after school was over.

For most of my life friendships were hard to come by. The friends that I did have over the first 18 years of my life were either video game dorks like myself, overweight, or just to lazy and apathetic to try to be cool. And sometimes my friends encompassed all of the above. I really never had more than four friends at any given time as far back as I can remember and they were all some what similar in personality and life goals.
But since leaving Covenant I look at my friends and I see an array of personalities and people. Some are responsible, some are bums, some love video games, other view them as the downfall of civilization, some are into exploring the cultural arts, others feel cultural arts was a class they got a “C” in at Covenant, some are bookworms, others find books confusing, some are mothers and fathers, while others fear the sight of people under five foot, some think Owen Wilson’s best film was Royal Tenebaums, and others think it was I Spy.
I don’t know what the crap I’m writing about….. where’s that delete button…...
Dang can't find it... ugh i guess i'll make a point.
My point being make friends...there better than... computers.
