Got one great friend I still run with from high school…still got several from college I hunt and fish with regularly…
Man, what a powerful story in just one sentence.I've got a couple close friends now that I met later in life, and probably the closest friend and one person I can actually count on in a jam is my ex-wife,
You better believe it! Then again, in some cities you can shoplift and assault people on a daily basis and nobody cares. There's not much "middle ground" operating on common sense in the legal/justice system these days.I had 3 under age possessions of alcohol before I turned 21. I paid a ticket for all three in my small town.
I hear today kids would need lawyers for those tickets.
Exactly the same here.I have nothing to do with any of my old running buddies. Not necessarily by choice, it's just the way life goes. Different directions and all...
My circle nowadays is very small, and that's fine by me.
I ain't never even been to a class reunion. That is also fine with me..
Its like the movie Stand By Me, at the end the narrator says something to the effect "I never had any friends later in life like those friends"Sitting here on the back porch listening to the rain got me to thinking about my old friends. There were 4 of us, always together. Riding 4 wheelers, skipping school, hunting, fishing, frog gigging and mud bogging. No cell phones back then, just being wild and young.
Well I moved on, married with kids and a great life. I’ve never been in trouble with the law, or done anything to bad. But.
Friend one is married with kids and is an alcoholic.
Friend two has been in and out of jail so many times I’ve lost count. He seems to be on the right track now. Hope he stays that way. Alcohol was also his biggest problem, along with a not so good home life. I gave him $100 for gas a good while back and haven’t heard from him since.
Friend three is in jail for murder. Got mixed up on drugs and shot a man in cold blood while the man was sleeping.
Makes me worry a little more about my two sons and what all they could get into.
Y’all have any friends that just wouldn’t do right?
