flawed work of art.

received a phone call from a very good old friend today. it made me smile like this -> :) I don't know how else to describe how I felt while listening to him chatter away. he & I? we go wayyy back.
let's face it, no one's that proud of their past. unless, you never ever did anything wrong before, which is highly unlikely, unless you're some crazy dictator who thinks you're always right. and trust me, I know folks like that still exist. I live with one. anyway, I'm digressing.
I never really knew him, he was just a face in a crowd, until one day, we became friends. I'll skip all the in-between stuff and tell you that he had a kiddy crush on me. and I, being a softie, gave it a go. well, we were kids, so nothing much happened. just that, we tried more than once. but in the end, we agreed that it wasn't gonna work. you know, God has a funny way of bringing two people together. even though it didn't work out in that department, we became very close friends. he came to me when he had troubles, and I would help him in any way possible. you know how the rainbow comes out after the rain? I was really happy to hear that he's doing well in college. he's got a fantastic girlfriend, his studies were going well and everything seemed to be going well for him, really. of course, he has his fair share of problems, but I told him that they come together with life. and he agreed. *big smile*
everyone's getting some. you know what I mean? the image of goodie goodie convent girls who have 'we hate boys!' emblazoned on their foreheads is completely erased from my memory. now, it's 'while you were gone, I had 3 boyfriends. didn't you miss out huh, cel?' today, I just closed my eyes and thought about the world I once knew. I wouldn't say I'm not happy that the world is changing. I'd just say that familiarity is such a fortune.
on a sadder note, italy beat germany 2-0. all the teams I support end up dead. I think I'll support portugal today, in hopes of a french victory.
