Ain't it good to know

Mid terms just passed!
Time to enjoy some games on my good ol' desktop!~ Feels good to be back!

Ain't it good to know... a famous phrase in the song "You've Got A Friend" by James Taylor.

Personally the I feel that this song does sound very direct and deep in emotion.  The song itself is self-explanatory.

I love this song a lot. Pretty much describes my philosophy in friendship. Let me list out a few :
1. When nothing is going right --> Don't be emotional
2. They'll hurt you, and desert you --> Don't be tricked
3. Just call out my name, I'll come running --> Always providing a shoulder to cry on

I do think that a lot of points made in the song is really applicable to my philosophy. A very nice song portraying that such friend who does such a thing for you is very well appreciated.

Heck, I'd make that particular friend my best friend instantly!

I never like to see any of my friends' face showing grief
I never like to see any of my friends' face showing worry
I never like to see any of my friends in sadness
I never like to see any of my friends crying
I never like to see any of my friends in confusion
I never like to see any of my friends in need
I never like to see any of my friends in stress
I never like to see any of my friends left out

When I do see any of them with any of the above listed things... it's quite a burden. For me, that burden is what makes you a friend to someone else, yet these aren't a burden to me as I voluntarily wish to rectify or soothe the situation. Might sound very cheesy too but that's the way I'd like it to be. As usual, no one can suit everyone and same goes to me. I do what is felt like is to be done. Barely even a burden.

Your family on the other hand, might be your burden. A cousin you have never met but is blood-related seeks a favour from you... what are you suppose to do? You have no idea about his personality, no idea about his background. All you know is that you both are blood-related.

Personally, I'd call the cousin to get off my life. As the lyrics of Insane Clown Posse's Juggalo Homies :

"Or in fact does the blood make you think you have to love?

Look, I probably love my family more than anybody here,

But my homies are family too, third cousins get outta here"

To all my friends - I love you all.

No boundaries. Guys and girls.
