having kids radically changes everything in your life. one of those things is friends. i have two types of friends, chosen and circumstantial. the circumstantial far out weigh the chosen.
circumstantial friends are people that share circumstances with you and your life. a common day care, a common kid's soccer team, a common playtime at the park. the commonality is the primary topic of conversation. once that topic is exhausted, conversation turns to weather, car mileage and cowboy football. circumstantial friends suck.
i no longer try to talk about art and design, beer, beat poetry, or my mexican wrestling mask collection to circumstantial friends. those topics result in blank stares followed by "hey, this is some kind of weather we're having, huh?
meetings with circumstantial friends are preceded and postceded by conversations with the wife about how they suck and i would never choose them to be my friends.
the disparity between the two types of friends is bumming me out. that is where you come in.
if you have been here a few times and are still reading this, then we must be of similar minds. i am moving all of you into the chosen friend category to reduce the disparity.
so let me pour you a beer (st. pauli girl dark), and lets not talk about the emmit smith's rushing record.
