Allen: "Ka-KAA" (sounding like a crow.)

DAMN, I"m tired of useless convos. I feel that if I talk about nothing for too long that my brain will turn to mush. In fact, I feel morally dirty. I have a small group of friends that does that.

They hang out together all the time. I couldn't stand hanging around the same people every waking morning. I see my martial arts friends the most, but good God, our life doesn't totally circulate around each other every second.

And they talk about nothing. The type of shit you would talk about on the back of a school bus type nothing. The type of nothing where you yell "penis" and everyone else follows in chorus.

So I avoid them now... for my sanity.

Which makes me thankful for my REAL friends. Vanessa is offically my best friend. We talked over drinks last night. Talking over moderate drinking is nice. If your too young to drink, then you don't have any real friends yet.

We talked about life, love, sorrow, art, LIVING. We also talked about Ari, but any student of Ari's can't help but be inspired and amazed by the man.

No penis jokes.

No stupid shit.

I'm thankful for the chance to relate with another human being and walk away with more strength to be human myself.
