Tell me.

What does it mean when me, a straight, relatively non-medicated guy finds that he identifies with gay, medicated friends and bloggers mostly? Like the first kid in a grade four class to hit puberty I am wondering what the fuck is going on. I thought by the time you hit 30 you were supposed to have it all figgered out. I have a long way to go in one year.

For those that don’t get it, I am not questioning my sexuality. I am questioning the whole idea that one is supposed to be friends with like-minded people. The friends I hold dear to me range from so similar to me that it is almost redundant to speak with them – to being so different as to be frustrating to even consider. What makes a friend then? At least to me this thought seems elusive. I know so many people that I by all accounts should be best friends with, but are not for unknown reasons.

That’s all. This was just an un-thoughtout un-edited rant that I wanted to get off my chest. If you have any thoughts on this lemmie know.

    Just means you like talking to weirdos. Be glad you got friends and stop your whining. Good rant – hopefully there will be more than two posts – geek:)

    One question: what does relatively non-medicated exactly mean? I think having bloggers as one of the three groups that you identify with most means that you should search out something more tangible (unless of course, this is what you are avoiding). I certainly don’t think one should be friends with like-minded people. How on earth are you ever going to learn anything?

    I concur with Kevin! For the love of God, who wants to surround themselves with people just like themselves? I think that would be the most boring existence ever. Pro’s could include the reduction of dispute, gossip and everyone having similar fashion taste. Con’s could include the reduction of dispute, gossip and everyone having similar fashion taste. Sign here for your uniform!

    Besides, I annoy myself sometimes. Imagine me surrounded by me.

    Wow, kevin your comment snuck in under the wire. I didn’t see it there.

    The link is not to someone I consider a friend, but just a blog I often relate to, despite the fact that I have nothing really in common with this person. Despite some musical tastes and the fact that he is a “creative type”.

    And I agree. One should not just seek out like-minded types. Otherwise conversation gets quite drab quite quickly. These things are a given.

    I am not going to try and explain what confused me so much at that moment and just leave it at this. This is why I started one of these things in the first place. To make myself better at explaining myself. Looks like I still need some work.
