coffee break

ow far will you go to be a friend? erase that, how do you know that a person is your friend? i am not one of those people who considers acquaintances as friends; acquaintance is an acquaintance, nothing more. a lot of people feel offended when i don’t do friend stuff with them. i don’t know, it’s as if i am obligated to share my life, or what i had for lunch, to a person just because we sit opposite each other. i don’t even do small talk with my friends, why would i to someone who might turn out to be freaking jack the ripper. when does an acquaintance become a friend?

log hopping, i came across an interesting blog. it relates the adventures, and misadventures of a guy and his friend. i used the term friend as it is how the blogger called the other guy. they do what normal friends do, eat out, have coffee, watch movies, sleep together. they’re both gay guys, though not explicitly said in words but graphically expressed in multitudes of images and from time to time, a home made video. yes, according to them sleeping together is one of those friend activities-again, not in words. if you’re still a bit slow, sleeping together = having sex. what baffles me more is that they have ménage à trois with other people, most of the time with their so called partner.

o judgment please, but i do want to pose this question: in a time of acceptance, tolerance and endless possibility, is having sex now part of the friendship plate? and how much of a friend are you? please don’t argue that they are not friends, they are because they said so, evidently proven by the abundance of the words friend, pare, buddy, and ‘tol.
