Toast to old friends...

   After High School graduation, friends always make pacts that they will never lose each other.  High school sweet hearts , jocks, cheerleaders, geeks, and the cool kids all believe that nothing will ever change after graduation.  Its to bad I could'nt be prepared for what was really in store for me and my friends. 
   Yesterday I had a chance to reunite with a partial of the old crew, 5 years after our graduation we came together to celebrate our siblings step into adult hood.  It was a great scene seeing them, seeing how they have all changed, all the trials and tribulations the we have all overcome, and that same were still stuck in.  From rehab and jail to just simple everyday living we all had grown and matured in different ways.  Even the one I atleast expected to be doing good now has a kick ass 2 yr old son and a beautiful wife.  Everything changes after graduation.
  That night we all got together, 5 of the original 11, and we partied just like it was 2006 again, almost as if none of us has skipped a beat even though for most of us we haven't seen each other for 3+ years.  We reminisced about sports we played, the girls we fucked and the drugs we did.  Some of us grew out of that some just feel in a down ward spiral but, none of us seemed to care about our mess up through life just that we were all together again hanging on each others shoulders again. 
  Sitting around the table outside getting splashed by the kids jumping in and out of the pool and my buddies son shitting and pissing in it, we all decided to stand.  Together we toasted to old time and friendships that hopefully last until the end of days.  Ill never forget what he said : " May we be in heaven 30 minutes before the devil finds out we're dead".  That explains our lives together perfectly as morbid and faithless as it sounds, but it was at that point and time I knew that I was home again and exactly where I need to be.  Maybe we cant party or hang like we could 5 years ago but we can still be there for each other.

Thanks for reading look forward to your support.
