Feb. 14

With Valentine’s Day approaching quickly, I’ve decided I’m going to talk on it. You probably think that I hate this holiday, but that is not true. I look forward to it ever year! Except for getting girl’s a gift. That part is hard because with all the jewelry store commercials that come on TV around this time of year, you know you are not going to live up to the expectations. I’m young still, so I’m not really trying to get that fancy of a gift for anybody. (Haha you’re lucky if you get a bag of candy from me ;)) some of the reasons I like Valentine’s Day are that everybody is usually nice and in a cheerful mood. Except for the lonely bitter people, but that’s beside the point. Another reason I like Valentine’s Day is because it is my best friend in the whole wide world’s birthday… Gage Alley. Mr. Joseph and I have been tight since kindergarten.

I remember the first time I ever went to his house; his parents said I had way too much energy so I wasn’t invited back for awhile. Now that I look back on it, I can’t recall a day where I haven’t been at his house. I like being able open up the garage and walk in. When he is asleep I’ll pop the lock on his door and go wake him up, I don’t know if he likes that at all, but it happens. When he is at work I’ll go up to his house, make some food, play some video games, and sleep on his couch until he gets back so we can go do something stupid together. This is how spontaneous our relationship is, it’s Christmas Eve and we are just cruising around because we are bored. My favorite song is playing so you know I’m showing off my talented vocals. All of a sudden Gage turns the music down, I got kind of frustrated because I was about to hit them high notes. He looks at me and says, “Man, let’s go get a kindle fire.” I responded, “Dude, it’s 11 o’clock on Christmas Eve, Santa is coming soon.” But we go anyway, and to our dismay Wal-Mart is closed. I’m pretty sure on the sign outside of Wal-Mart it says open 24 hours, but I guess not that night. So of course since we are in Winslow we have to stop and see Halle for a little while. I don’t think we got home until about 2 in the morning. You know time flies when you’re hanging out with your best friend.

Gage and I have been through it all. We been through all the break-ups together, for him it has been A LOT; for me, not so much. Gage can’t cook too well, but I know if I was sick and needed soup he would try and cook some for me. That’s when you know that you have a great best friend. I most likely wouldn’t try and cook but I would definitely go out and buy him some if he really needed it. Awww so much I could talk about with me and my buddy, but I’m going to leave it at that before these tears start flowing.

You know me just giving a little shout out to my bro for his birthday. Girlfriends come and go but best friends are forever… ayyye ;)
