Are friends really friends?

Hello Readers! It seems as though a blog about friends is in order. Let me ask you a question (please read the question and then answer it aloud as if your computer screen were me). Have you ever been used? Come on... answer truthfully. My answer is yes. I feel like some of my friends have used me for years and if they wern't using me, they were taking advantage of me or making me look bad for being myself. It's weird when I think back to my years in high school and I can only think of a few people who have been 100% true to me. So far these people have been Jessica Boyd, Miranda Benthin, Ashey Morgan and Abby Ovies. What is irritating about this, is the fact that the guys( or who I like to call "my bois" :-p) who I associate myself with haven't been at all loyal. **NOTE**For the rest of my blog, I will be making reference to "my friends," but in doing this I am only making reference to the male friends in my life, not the ones listed above. **END NOTE**

It is said that "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." Why is it that looking back to my "true friends" I can only think of Erik Wheling being the one who actually stands for that?(I remind you that i'm only referring to my male friends) It is pathetic that some of the people who you consider your best friend never defend you and never take your side on things. Whether it's being used for a ride, being played about a future college roommate, or even being talked about behind "a friend's" back, it has happened to me over the last 3 years. What is majorly frustrating is the fact that I offer myself to who ever needs a friend. I give rides, and I go out of my way to make sure people around me are happy and not inconvenienced. I don't mean to twist my own nipple or anything, but I honestly consider myself a loyal and true friend.

I guess what i am getting at is, David Gray is fed up with his mediocre friendships. David Gray is sick of being taken advantage of, being used, and never getting the respect that he deserves. This is only the 2nd blog that I have gone off on a tangent about personal opinions. I am sorry for this. I planned on blogging about something else, but this is just something that cannot leave my mind. I wish I could say something to make this blog a little less boring but hey, like the title of my blog says... This is Dave's thoughts exactly, and when it comes down to it, I will say exactly what I want.

Goodnight my faithful readers. Tomorrow will be a better day my friends.
