A Friendship Vow.

Ever since I started blogging and I wanted to write about friends and friendship, its really critical in my life, more than so many other things like school or politics or, or… 

Thing is, as usual I blog when I'm super mad at something and this time I wanted it to be different because I don't want to piss off my friends who read this blog – the ones who even read, but that’s not all (because they should know the sarcasm better :P ), I wanted it to be more fun and sarcastic than mad and cynical.

So, today is the day. Not only I'm kind of mad at a friend, and I lost one a few weeks ago, but also I had a funny kind of sarcastic idea today. I got lost in my thoughts – as usual – thinking that I really want to watch the movie 'The Vow', and how I'm such a sucker for that kind of movies, and then I had that small little light that we always see in cartoons when you get an idea, it clicked. BLING… Why don't we have friendship vows like we have for Marriage?!

Yeah, really, it'd be a good idea. I mean for me friends are very important and I said before, even though friends can be a rough pain in the ass sometimes, you can't live without them (at least me). Friends are like a second family, you can be crazier with them, and even though some say you choose your friends, I don’t agree with that. You usually choose which friend to keep, but think about it, most of the friends you probably have you got to know by pure chance, work, school, through friends, Supernatural ;), you had to talk to them a few times then BAM, it happened. Most of those times you don’t choose the time, place, or the person you're talking to, but you choose who not to talk to, later.

And, yeah a perfect friend is fiction, but a good one isn’t. You just need to accept that friend the way you're, and don't try to preach them, or change them, many people will appreciate that. Not all, coz simply some are bitches and nothing works with them, been there.

So, what happens? Life happens. Bitch, please!

Life is the excuse, because we aren’t doomed by shit. Blah blah blah, excuses for the win. School, oh, poor you. Work, awww, my heart is really breaking for you. And oh, I've another lovely one and I'm not kidding, headache, yep, headache takes your phone, your email, and stops you from talking to people. Humm what else? Many excuses depend on the people you know.

Yeah, it can take a while to talk, and sure school and work and all get in between but there is a difference between using this as an excuse, and that it is the truth. BIG fat difference. Because if YOU WANT, you'd make time, or at least try, but that's IF you want.

Using such excuses is shit, heard a lot of stuff and said a few too, so I can tell the difference. And it is disrespectful to treat a friend like that. At least have the guts to say: "Guys, we can't be friends anymore, coz I'm whipped, my girl wants me all for herself." You know, it'd make more sense.

So, back to the vows. In order to make things serious, we can have a little vow for best friends only, coz the others you meet or talk to casually don't really matter like your budds who you love the most and trust the most.

Instead of "Till death do us apart" (it's not the way we say it here, but we have a similar concept.)

It should be:

-Till politics do us apart. (My Egy friends will relate the most.)

-Till being a jerk/bitch do us apart.

-Till meeting new-friends or getting in a relationship (whipped) do us apart.

I think that qualifies the most common reasons of why people stop being friends. I went through two of the phases (last two) and was about to go into the first one during the last year, still a chance I'm gonna head there. Maybe there are other reasons that need to be added, but I think number2 works for so many things… Suggestions? :D
