alas, summer vacation comes to a close, and the impending doom known as schooling draws near. woe is me. it was such an enjoyable stay back at home in florida. but i do look forward to the fine company of texas when i return. i guess i am lucky to be happy wherever i go. uh, for the most part.
spending time with family is always important and a blessing, but having friends to chill with is cool too. and so today i will talk about what it means to have friends. i know, it's exciting i can barely contain my excitment by continuously writing about my "excitement" but what i'm actually doing is delaying the actual content of what i'm talking about until i figure out what exciting thing i was actually going to be talking about and i er uh...
anyways! people, i have come to realize, are like drinks. they can be a cold can of soda, or a hot cup of tea, or a warm glass of milk. sure, particular drinks could reflect certain aspects of their personality, but that's not what i'm going to analyze today. but like all drinks, people's original personalities would begin to change over time and ever so slowly. the cold soda can become flat, a hot tea chilling away, and milk just plain ol' turning bad. so yea, people change no matter what. the same person you knew many years ago is probably a different person now, and if they really ain't that different, then they're definitely going to be in the future. of course, they are certain factors that cause these drinks (people) to change either more rapidly or drastically. and of course, i am talking about ice.
the wonderous power of ice. they instantly alter the original state of the drink. friends are like ice; the minute you meet them you unconsciously adapt yourself to be more "cool" with them. so quick review: individual = drink, friends = ice, potential significant other = straw (because they just drain you for all you're worth...as in money...just kidding!) the straw was completely made up and not part of this blog entry. yes it's true, the people you hang out with, the ice you put into your drink, can really change who you are. you might not know it, you might try to deny it, but it's happening, if you have friends that is!
now i'm not saying having friends is a bad thing, because "oh noes! you can't figure out your own true identity!". just calm down and carefully note the beverage simile. even if you add mad ice in the cup, it is still essentially the same drink, even if the flavor is off and the temperature is different. if anything, they help you figure out who you really are. you try different things, you experiment, you taste, sample, look, smell, what your drink is like. then you decide if you like it and keep it and adding some more ice, or just get a new drink that's very similar and start over. so what exactly is the point of this short essay? are friends the influential factors in defining the person you are or will be? does "ice" most definitely change the various "drinks" out there?
no you fools; if you want to be "cooler" you have to have more friends! ba dum ching! thank you, thank you, and enjoy your new semester kids!
