Let me introduce you to some more of my crew! 

Some celly pics from my homey Alex out in Seattle.

Usually when I’m feeling down, I go through a list of old friends and give them a call. Alex is one of them.

One of the few that will still pick up and sit there and let me talk and we will have in depth conversations on our current situations and where we are at in life.

Alex is one of my oldest friends, but as I told him recently that’s not why I still call him or consider him someone close. I’m learning that just because you’ve known someone for a long time it does not necessarily mean that’s the only reason you should stay friends with that person. 

What I love about Alex is the way he’s always had this positive sense of calmness and subtle, or sometimes abundant, happiness. He’s been like that since the day we met. 

Not long before I moved to NYC he moved to Seattle. Besides us living incredibly far apart he’s been out here to visit me numerous times and I feel bad that I’ve never been out there to pay him a visit. I’m always telling him how busy I am and how I have these big plans I’m working on here and in reality I’m really just working on myself and I don’t have the sudden whims of traveling out west as I used to in my youth. 

Today we talked on the phone for an hour and we had our usual conversation of what’s going on in our lives, our girls, our pets and building our home lives. Today I spoke with him about my sudden desire for a loss of adolescents amongst other things and that leads me to other topics left and right. And he listens. I have to remember, I’m lucky to have friends in my life like this. 

I miss you man, and someday I’m gonna get out there.
