A Real Eye Opener

  Ever wonder how much you really don't know about your friends? I learned, in a big way, during this recently concluded election season.

  I learned things about my friends that surprised me. I learned things that were unexpected, but didn't surprise me. I learned things that were unexpected and surprised me. But, I also saw some things that didn't surprise me and wasn't unexpected. A few of the latter, my more, so called, religious friends, you know the ones that spout Bible quotes about 20 times a day and always leave everything in the hands of the Lord, don't really practice what they preach.

  I learned that to some friends my opinion doesn't matter. At times I was a fool, a damn fool, a fucking moron, a fucking idiot and on some occasions defriended, which, now that I think about it, they weren't a great loss. Thankfully, my life long friends and family, those of us who know we're all a little touched at times, agreed to disagree and we survived the madness.

  So, to all my surviving friends, I say, although some of us didn't agree on all things political, I'm glad we agreed to stay friends, stick together and let a little sanity back in our lives. Because, I always say, Good Friends Are Hard To Come By!....Just Sayin'
