Friendships

"The better part of one's life consists of his friendships".
-Author: Abraham Lincoln (1809-65), 16th US President, Republican

Blogging is a great past-time.

You people see a side of me, perhaps in someways a little less fallible, and in others a little more. It is here that I anonomously express those thoughts frustrations, doubts and also those dreams about who I would like to be.

I also am grateful to God for authentic friends I see in flesh & blood, who are by nature a lot less intense than me - but alot more fun!. Some of the guy's I have known since school, or just a little later, and one is as close as a Brother. They are my "best men", and also those to whom I am honored to be a 'God parent' to their own children. These are men I know I can trust.

It's good to have that inner circle. It reminds me of that "Circle of Trust" Robert DeNiro refers to in "Meet the Parents". That's a wacky illustration, but it's true.
