“IF BY A LIBERAL THEY MEAN SOMEONE WHO LOOKS AHEAD AND NOT BEHIND, SOMEONE WHO WELCOMES NEW IDEAS WITHOUT RIGID REACTIONS, SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE — THEIR HEALTH, THEIR HOUSING, THEIR SCHOOLS, THEIR JOBS, THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS, AND THEIR CIVIL LIBERTIES — SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES WE CAN BREAK THROUGH THE STALEMATE AND SUSPICIONS THAT GRIP US IN OUR POLICIES ABROAD, IF THAT IS WHAT THEY MEAN BY A LIBERAL, THEN I'M PROUD TO SAY I'M A LIBERAL.”

JOHN F. KENNEDY - SEPTEMBER 14, 1960

old friends

What can I say about Old Friends? Wow...what can't I say?

When you see an Old Friend, it takes you back to the time when you were close. You remember all the good times you had together...all the crazy shit you used to do together... and all the things about each other that you love.

You wonder, where has all the time gone? When did we go from being everyday friends to being once every few years friends? But life happens. You move on...have a kid or two... find another to spend your time with. But you always remember them. Every once in a while, they come to mind, in the hectic day-to-day bullshit that is life, just the thought of them can always bring a smile to your face. The one that you spent so much time with in your youth, the one that you never had a fight or disagreement with, the one who will have a special place in your heart forever... your honest to goodness friend.

You know who you are, I will always love you, and you will forever be my friend.
