this one’s for DREW…

we didn’t even plan the same colours… seeing this was at a surprise party for him!

SO what do you give someone who has all the love in the world, all the admiration, all the talent, all the respect of his peers, all the everything… for his birthday. I couldn’t think of one shit… but I do recall him saying that he reads my blog, waiting to get a big enough mention so he will have to be in the movie when it’s made. (ahem ! yes – there’s not only one Carrie Bradshaw!) So I thought, ah-ha !! write a post… with his name in the title, get him all excited and then don’t write one iota of a thing about him. I laughed out loud !! what would be the response… he would laugh his ass off once he read that statement and take it exactly as meant – with a LOT of love and a big big pinch of sarcasm. He would read it and get it exactly as meant and THAT is what we are & who we are.

WE ARE FRIENDS. the kind that at 31 & 32 still call each other BESTIES on social media… the kind that have defied most of those that know us in the environment we met … he all nice, helpful, smily – she all hard, only smily when necessary, you do you & i do me… but they meet in the middle and simpatico !! I have friends who have known me since before I made double digits that thought we were a couple, and they actually won’t let it go. But Drew is wwwaaaayyy to good to have a relationship with, I mean that would also be really really gross !! The friendships I make forever and most only second to my family.

Man, this is odd. I thought I was creating a great pressie and I don’t quite know how to or what to write now. We have so much under our belts.

some of the days, nights, smiles, cries and years.

Death. Alcohol. Party. Tears. Work. Birth. Travel. Love. Hurt. Joy. All of the everything.

To be honest, I don’t quite know what or how I will go and do this random bloody journey of life without that dude with the very fun nose – love you !!. That dude that  is the lamest  friend that I’ve got and wouldn’t change for the world. That Dude that will always listen, understand, be honest and most importantly not judge. Drew is the one person who I genuinely shake my head sometimes and say how the hell are we friends … and I just laugh because I know many think the same but I just know that there is no dang reason to even question it… it is the sole point of love.

To do it unconditionally. To do it blindly. To do it with no afflictions and hesitation. To just let it in & let it guide you. To accept it & always make it count. Be grateful that there is someone who will always be in your corner, who will always support you & be honest with you.

It is important that you have that person, it doesn’t have to be physical love, actually I think it is probably best that it not be … but that person where you can be you and they can be them, where you can both bounce off each other without having to do anything different. That person that will try a second time after the 1st set of flowers from Singapore failed to come to my door after my foot surgery, and expect absolutely nothing in return.

But you know what Drew, Mr. Jonathon Andrew Hume. I love you mostest, you are my bestie for life and beyond. You are also only my 3rd man I’ve written about and considering the 1st was the only man I acknowledge  ‘falling in love with’  and the 2nd was an obituary. I would actually say you are the 1st of my men in “my men series”, so now you sure to get a part in the movie.

Happy Birthday !!!!!!

walk good. bless. xoxo.
