Open Anonymous Letters: Effing Friendships

Me and the Tiha have been mad busy, but I really needed to write some things this week to get some things off my chest.  Like I have said in previous blogs and even poems, I have a hard time expresing my true feelings to people.  This goes for negative things and positive actually.  So this week I am writing letters to folks, I will keep them anonymous on the blog, but I think I will actually send the letters to the people they are intended for.   So here goes nothing:

Dear You,

I find you to be as horrible a friend to me as I am to you.  We have got to do better.  I am not content with a friendship that has been around for so long that has dwindled down to mere  drinking buddies.  Do you realize that you know and understand more about me than sometimes I am with myself?  (I know that's a bit cliche, but who cares, this is my letter, lol)  You have been there through a number of rough patches (and vice versa), but yet this current superficial "friendship" exists.  I am at a loss.  I miss you.  I hope you feel the same.  People always work so hard on their romantic relationships, but forget that true friendships require the same amount of effort, sometimes more.  I believe friend bonds can sometimes be more binding/lasting than marital ones, so lets work on being real friends again....

Love ya,
Alise



Peace y'all.....

Friends and Home Depot

Home depot has a slogan, “You can do it, we can help”. I think it is so catchy, I use it almost everyday. I can always find a use for that slogan. This post is dedicated to personal cheerleaders and home depot handymen also known as our friends. I’m talking about the people who you don’t have to talk to all the time, but are always there right on time. The folks who give it to you real and raw, with constructive suggestions and help you grow. The friends that, if you were building a house, they’d be at the base of the ladder making sure your tail doesn’t tip over and ready with the nails, or hammer or whatever else you need because you forgot to bring it up when you decided to climb up the ladder in the first place. This is fo da homies! cheers and beers, tears and fears, rain and shine, time after time, I got yours if you got mines, I have no more words for this rhyme.
