Friendship...what a wonderful thing!!

That’s what friends are for…Man what an all time classic song. This was never more relevant for me then most recently. See I was someplace I should not have been, and doing something I should not have been doing. I knew I was out of my comfort zone, yet I also knew I was too weak from keeping myself from doing it. See I never have and never will be strong enough to handle “Love Loss” situations.

It probably accounts for why it is normally I who walks away and I usually do so in time before I let my heart get involved. Well not to belabor the situation as you know Native American and I are now a “Love Loss” and I beat myself up the other day by just staying in bed all day letting my mind go places it should not be going…I decided to just go for a ride late in the day and before I knew it I was at a place I should not be at and doing something I should not be doing. The saving grace is that I knew I was vulnerable and before I let myself go to far I reached out to my “FRIENDS” MD Finest and Black Knight for help.

Within minutes my phone was buzzing with calls and text messages from the two of them. Black Knight reached out to me despite being on vacation down in South Beach. He took a break from all the pretty faces and voluptuous bodies to try and ascertain what was up with his boy and make sure he kept me out of trouble. MD Finest was at home with his two beautiful kids and when he got me on the phone he provided the calming voice and reassurance that I needed. He assured me that I was strong enough and I would survive this.

MD Finest decided he wanted to come by my house and spend sometime with me so he took his kids to his parents house and took the 20 – 25 minute drive out to just sit down with Black Hawk and talk over a few beers. While he was there I got another call and text from Black Knight just checking again to see how I was. Later that night at about 2:30 a.m., I received another call from Black Knight. Damn it’s nice to have friends that you can rely on in the face of turmoil and strife.

St. Tommy had reached out to me earlier in the day asking how I was doing and trying to reassure me that things would be okay…In addition, she said she would look into seeing if I could stay at her parents house in St. Thomas if I wanted to go there just to get away from things for awhile (you know I’m looking into tickets already!) I think I will take about a week and just relax on the beaches and enjoy the clear blue water. I LOVE that damn island and this would be just what the doctor ordered.

MD finest reminded me that our boy Furious is getting married in Tampa Bay in July and did I get my ticket yet. I must admit I completely forgot about it, but the timing couldn’t be any better. I hate that Furious is making this move as I believe there are some other things behind this union (another story) but all the same I’m going to be there to support him.

So the way it looks now is that I have the following on my calendar…NJ this weekend, back to Maryland to pack, Off to Atlanta, then back to Maryland to move my shit into my place and then off to Tampa Bay, and finally St. Thomas…That will bring me right into August (August 1st to be exact)...Hopefully in between all this I get a JOB! I have a few feathers floating out there and feel hopeful about them. My only concern is that one of those feathers would bring me up to the NYC and that scares me right now…but we shall see. DAMN it’s nice to have REAL FRIENDS!!!
