Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey’s head?
This is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneakin’ out
This is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must’ve done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it’s too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life’s better now than it was back then
If I was them, I wouldn’t let me in
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say
It’s time to say it
Goodbye, Goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say
It’s time to say it
Goodbye, Goodbye
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin’ out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we’d know
We said someday we’d find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim’s the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She’s had a couple of kids since then
I haven’t seen her since God knows when
I miss that town
I miss their faces
You can’t erase
You can’t replace it
I miss it now
I can’t believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me

Indeed. This song best represents what has become of my friendship with my (somewhat) best friends(i won't name them here, and minus the criminal record, on my end).
I have known for all my life. Over the past few years, we have gradually seperated. We've still remained in contact, but, its like tectonic plates, slow... But with the coming of adulthood, its sped up.
The youngest of them(year younger than both of us, and the other is 5 days younger than i) is finishing up highschool and plans to go into college and become a sketch artist (manga, comics,etc..). The other (the others sister), I just found out, got pregnant with (i believe) a baby girl and is going to give birth in December. When i found that out, i just sat back and laughed (not ha-ha laugh, just, "huh" laugh...ya know?) I mean, i can remember when we were 4-5 years old and playing power rangers , 'house' or "homeward bound"...it just seems like life has gone by too damn fast... And, once we finally go our way, one of to art college, the other raising her child, and i going my way. We'll be busy, "doing our thing" so to speak. I still plan to keep in touch, no doubt about that. But, the given situation concerning the latter person is difficult because of recent developments. So, its hard to sit by and watch, unable to help as much as i want. Time flies when you're on the front bumper. 
It just makes me think of the better days, the fond memories of childhood. It makes me think about life. All of the friends and "friends" i have had. I remember my other best friend who died in a car accident years ago... (OMG! We're coming up on the ten year anniversary...SOB!?) (sorry, just realized it) (If you didn't know this, read some of my poems or read an up coming blog) I remember all the crushes i had, of my friends danny, daniel (different people), of Matt, claire, jenny, chris, janee during elementary school. Of michelle, christina, kristy, paul, warner, during middle school. Of Claire, Ted, Jan, Vince,Keegan, Josh, Ky, Cody, Chris, Daniel, etc...all of them. And especially Suzie/Susan... The good, bad and, well, yeah... *sighs* Life happens... (indeed) Does life suck? (Yep, got my vote)
Right, well, anyway... G'night y'all....
