My Rabbits Gotta Eat

A lot of times I think that if I just keep screaming long enough and loud enough, somebody will eventually listen or at the very least call the Federales so that they can put me away. I don't worry about my voice giving out because I purchased from "As Seen On TV" a battery operated Mega megaphone that guarantees me my voice will be heard at it's maximum volume for least 30 days or my money will be cheerfully refunded and if I order in the next 10 minutes, I can get an extra Mega megaphone if I pay just shipping and handling. Which I did. But the downsize was, they didn't come with extra batteries.

Now I can scream and rant and rave just as long as I want to and sometimes for

effect, I foam at the mouth. Anyway I was thinking about the concept of friendship and what makes a good friend. First of all I think there must be some sort of mutual attraction between two people. Not sexually. It can be... oh, I don't know, just something about another person, man or woman that makes you attracted to them. Maybe it's a pheromones thing or that person was nice to you or he/she is non threatening. Sometimes, friendships spring up out of adversity, that is, the two of you started out hating each other and through a lot of unnecessary drama, you realized that you had a lot in common and were pretty much alike, even if you happened to be polar opposites, you managed to established some sort of bond.

What has this to do with anything? I don't know, since in today's world everyone is seen as the enemy and people have divided themselves up into small clicks or gangs or social groups or in psychological terms, in-groups and out-groups all of which are the same to some degree only extinguishable by the level of violence perpetrated by said group.

Rarely, if ever, is any relationship conducted on equal territory. It's more like neutral ground. You either turn in your guns at the door or mutually agree not to shoot one another. Looking at this in wide screen Hd with 3d glasses, it seems that this concept doesn't work too well when dealing with each other on a racial basis. Everyone wants to be on top and some think it's their right to be on top.

I am reminded of a story that used to go around among black people not too long ago. We used to talk bout friendship a lot. We talked about the relationship between white people and black people on a personal basis and the fact that two years ago your neighbor, a Mr. Palansky, who was white, loaned you five bucks one morning to put gas in your car so that you could make it to work. Now that happened two years ago and Mr. Palinsky rarely speaks to you, but you know that it's all good and that's just his way. On the other hand, your drinking buddy, who you got just a little too drunk with one night, brought you home and put you to sleep on the couch and left.

You conveniently forgot about that cigarette you had to have and in the process of smoking, fell asleep on the couch, setting fire to your house. Being the friend that he was, your buddy thought he should check back on you and to his horror saw your house fully engulfed in flames and the wail of fire trucks off in the distance. Disregarding his own personal safety, he broke in and pulled your drunken ass, your wife, your grandmother, your dog, and your pet rabbit out the front door as the fire trucks pulled up in front of your house.

Now it's three years down the road and you still remember the five bucks that Mr. Palanski loaned you and what a hellva nice guy he is, but when your old pal asked you to float him a loan, you reached into your back pocket, opened your wallet, fiddled around with bills with your fingers and finally looked up at him and said, "Man, I got just enough here to get the rabbit some food". You saw the hurt and disappointment in his face and for some unknown reason, this angered you , because you felt he was somehow taking advantage of your friendship and you blurted out, "Why you always coming round here with your hand out?" His mouth opened in disbelief as you continued, "What have you done for me lately? My rabbits gotta eat!"

As impossible as it might seem, apparently you can still purchase a Negro here in Amerikkka quite cheaply by today's monetary standards. And still on the subject of friendship and to be fair, you can purchase just about anybody for the right amount of money. Loans are an especially good way to purchase friends, but you also run the risk of turning your "friend" into an enemy when you demand your money back, but beware, these "friendly transactions" have the habit of turning out very nasty.

I'm outta here.
