being away from nac for a few four day stretches came at a seemingly good time. i thought it would give me a break from everything and everyone, but it just kinda put me in a mood to stew. i don't really know what to say.
on the way home i just kept thinking that all i should have to do as a friend is be down. just be ready to be there for my friends. be down. but it seems like that really hasn't been enough. i guess you have to be mr. nice guy first, and then be a friend.
oh well. i guess it does make sense. you can't be an asshole and then expect people to be as down for you as you are for them.
what's the ratio that makes someone a jerk? a million good things and 15 bad things? 2 good to 3 bad? if someone opens the doors for old ladies, donates money to npr, thinks positively, is conscious about the state of the world and so on and so forth; doesn't that give them some credit? or can a few misunderstood actions ruin the whole?
to me, if you've proven yourself as a friend to me, you can do what you please with your life and your other friends. just be ready to roll heavy if i say roll. just be ready to drop a dime if i say lets buy it, just be ready to buy the next round if i bought this one. just be down for fucks sake.

If you find out, please let me know. Sometimes it seems like no matter how many good deeds you do, one mistake or misunderstanding can cancel out all your accumulated karma.
C'est la vie.
your blog is awesome. i like going back through it and discovering new things. i love your honesty. if i weren't related to you i'd hope to at least be your friend.
