1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?<\/i><\/p>\n

Wow. I’m not sure. There might have been this one kid when I was like three … I can sorta remember him … I think his name was John. But I’d probably say that my first best friend was Donnie. I hung out with him from second grade until eighth grade when I moved from Tennessee.<\/p>\n

2. Are you still in touch with this person?<\/i><\/p>\n

No. My parents visited his parents some years ago during one of their trips down to Tennessee. Last I know he was married and working as an engineer in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

3. Do you have a current close friend?<\/i><\/p>\n

Yes, of course. Don’t be silly. In alphabetical order … Dad, Bro, Mom, Shaft, Singer …<\/p>\n

4. How did you become friends with this person?<\/i><\/p>\n

Dad … He’s my Dad.<\/p>\n

Bro … He’s my Brother.<\/p>\n

Mom … She’s my Mom.<\/p>\n

Shaft … It’s been mentioned before<\/a>, but basically … I was in an accident, he blew me off, we met afterwards and have been buds ever since … technically speaking … Shaft is my closest … I see him practically daily, talk with him otherwise, know what the bathroom smells like after he’s used it, trust him with my life, would do anything for him … and get this … in hanging out, what? … almost 15 years … I’ve never been even remotely irritated with him. Totally kewl … and we kompletely laugh our asses off about things and people almost all of the time.<\/p>\n

Singer … I have no idea, for some fortunate reason, the world’s most perfect woman has always been a great friend and kind to a dweeb like me.<\/p>\n

5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?<\/i><\/p>\n

Nah … not really. The ones I wish I did … I have. The ones I didn’t … well, sure … it’d be nice to see them, be in contact with them … but it isn’t critical for my completeness nor happiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
