What could you do without my wife? Not much. What could you do without my?
Best friend? Even less.
The story begins long ago. I kick to not remember the
exact day, but it doesn't really matter. Was when he was approximately 22 or
23, more or less.
I started working on this workstation gas near my home in New Jersey. This
It became the place where would meet with key people
you would change my life. At the moment have no idea.
I was working at the gas station during the day. A job to another, a
young lady by the name of Liz informed me that the auto parts store she
He worked for was looking for drivers. Declined to apply and later
the work. Liz and became friends and chummed around for a while. She
was a good friend to talk to, and unfortunately I do not see you much
since.
Was working two jobs, then, things were looking for, although it was
work like a dog days in the parts and nights in the station store. No
building for the mention my airbrush and graphic design experience in the
side. Keep occupied kept me safe anyway.
The other person helped of is a fellow called Roger. He
He worked as a mechanic at the gas station and arrived in large. Us
they have many fond memories of the station, some living in until today. Is
It was during this time that I tried my first beer by.
Roger has been a blessing in more than one ways. As Liz, it is easy to
Talk with and a good listener. I often wonder how someone could have
patience for a man like me, prone to babble. And not even occasional
babbling, I am speaking of profound things murky!
Roger has been through some difficult situations in your life and has
It helped me on my own struggles. We talk a lot and each
time we come together is like a mini celebration. Best regards! A celebration of
life because here we are, all these years later, still together, still alive,
and still learning and enjoying our world.
Roger and I share an avid interest in neat things to the world
show us, and we like to think, to reflect. On my Web site (and that is the)
(Thanks to Roger too, keep reading) I have the opportunity to share some
neat stuff and thoughts with you.
I say, when he was alone was struggling to keep afloat,
Mr knows where my money was. What 23 year old male has its?
priorities in order? Only those who have together, and for some of
us takes more time to gather ourselves. It was difficult to pay for car rental
insurance (that it was very expensive for me in my first 20 years, you know)
(drivers "high-risk"), a cellular phone bill (because it had to be cold),
payment of credit card debt and put food in my mouth. I have no
many cents extra. I ate much rice and Ramen noodles in the
days. Failed to get 4 packet of Ramen noodles for about ball. I was a
Thrifty buyer, not had another option.
Therefore, I was there in my apartment in a bedroom at the back of a
pizza shop and hairdresser, convenient for quick dinner and a hair cut.
No girlfriend had already, unhappy, and my parents had been removed to
North Carolina, my sister and brother-in-law followed. I was alone.
I had a visitor every weekend though: Roger. Leave from and
We have a few beers, talking about various things. It was nice to have
someone to talk with the within a week of being alone. Get no me wrong, I
He was involved with a musical Duo and play from time to time, but my
band-mate and I got together much outside the music.
At times, we did, but Roger was around every weekend. We only had
more diverse conversation.
We could do and talk about anything. Computers, photography, music,
including our favorite bands of ancient as Genesis, Yes, and of course Rush.
We could talk about books you have read and exchange them. Roger often
brought his laptop down and we would be network our machines and
share files. Only fun things geek.
In short, since this thing is getting pretty wordy, I guess that what I am trying to
say is that we must identify and demand estimated, who influence our
lives. Those who help us to change, especially if you inadvertently,
because they are being a true friend.
Without Roger, who helped me to buy my first modem and
introduced me to design Web site among other things, such as home-brewing
beer, now would be a professional graphic designer Internet
with a large batch of beer to enjoy.
Without Liz I would not have had enough money to be able to survive. Has
due to landed the second job to help pay the Bills
Without John, my partner in music, I would have not experienced the fun
and compliance to write songs and the realization of a live audience. (I)
not want to continue writing and playing without friends who
We appreciate and support it.
Ultimately, without these people should not really understood the
meaning of "good friends". Would remain trapped in my "routine" and not see the
real possibilities in my life.
We need friends to guide us, to help us grow and learn. And we
They must be friendly with our friends. There are enough things wrong in this world,
We will not add to it. Let's try to chip away in the rough and smooth exterior
things out. One of his friends at a time.
