I have been gone for a while. Life has been busy, and life has been good. On one front, I have established myself as a person at a temporary contract job who has exceeded ( read annihilated ) expectations, and enlisted the interest in management to create a position for me. On another front, I have recently gotten an offer for a job as a nuclear engineer with an earnings of easily over 110 k per year US in a few years. Obviously, a career in the next decade is going to be starting pretty soon.
With all of that in mind, I have been enjoying my weekends a great deal. Last weekend was a sick game 5 bruins over time winner which involved a bunch of us getting drunk. The night ended quite badly, as I ended up following my friends in a cab (trying to get home), but ended up ****blocking them with the girls they were going after. Okay , I admit fault as I was simply trying to get home and find a place to sleep and didn't know better. In all reality, they couldn't care about anything besides getting their **** wet.
Fast forward to tonight. I am feeling good again, and manage to get two really cute girls numbers. The first one ,kate, is an international affairs major who had presented at the undergraduate research conference and was out. I made conversation with this short, freckled girl and got her number. The intention was to hang out later on. After, I went with my friends, and they dared me to go up to a few really hot girls who were walking by. Naturally, I felt up to it and did so. The girl I approached stopped, and i literally came up with conversation on the fly and she ate it up. her name was skyla and i got her number too to hang out. She was a cute blonde chick with beautiful blue eyes.
With all that done, I felt confident that I could try and meet up with those girls later. So naturally It was all about making conversation. Long story short is that I made conversation with chicks who my friends thought they had a chance with, and they once again went back to the "you are ****blocking' mentality.
So what is the purpose of this long, drunken rant? One statement is this: don't really take friends faith too much. They are in it for themselves, and will use you as a scapegoat whenever possible. I called my friend out on it , and when a point came up which he could not refute he did "not want to argue with it". Why? because I was not a convenient target for his malice.
Tonight was an example of robert greene's law of never putting much faith in some friends. They take advantage of your generosity, than feel the need to unload their frustrations when their **** goes wrong. Their frustrations are from within, yet they have expectations which allow them to dump on me. In a way, it is sad seeing our group of friends diverge. The few bittered ones who crave nothing but power slowly go their own way and do nothing but begrudge the world which they do not, and are incapable of understanding.
god, I really do not want to read this in the morning. So let us make the focus of this thread. Feel free to post about the following: when have friends blamed you for something, or let you down for their own short comings? When have friends shown their true colors when things don't go their way? Lastly, when have friends potentially taken advantage of your generosity?
This paints a very pessimistic picture of some friends, but its the cold truth sometimes. I want to see what everyone experiences are here, and see if i am not alone ( to be clear, I have a great number of good friends still...this post represents the actions of a small few)
