Life and people

People get mad people get angry Why?  Why do we Dwell on such petty shit to be angry about, sometimes for years and years for no fucking reason. I am one who tries to always find a ray of light in any situation.  I am not a pacifist but i also dont let the little things bother me.  and to the people who get mad and angry over small shit, get over it you will be a happier person if you get some thicker skin and just let dumbshit roll off your back. 

why bring this up you ask

well......  Back story  in 1997 i was graduating highschool.  so there were alot of parties going on Drinking, drugs, the works.  well we had a good group of guys we had been freinds for years.  Well my buddy got too drunk one night, i offered to drive him home, he refused, his girlfriend at the time refused to ride with him and i offered to drive her home since i was taking 2 other people home.  no big deal, my buddy passed out we took his keys and we all left.  The next day i call my buddy take him his keys all is cool, or so i think.  2 days later its a different story,  I get punched in the mouth for taking his keys and taking his girlfriend home.  when we all told him that he was too drunk to drive and we were tyring to be his friends he blew up. Said we arent his friends.  Friends wouldnt leave him in his car to get piicked on the next day for passing out.  So whatever you're being a dumbass,  we left it at that. Walked away.

Flash to present day........ after not seeing this guy for 12 years..... he is still holding onto a grudge over some stupid highschool bullshit because we took his keys and gave his girl a ride home. I saw him at a local bar where i was out with a couple of guys i went to school with ,  I walked up to him at the bar figuring all the shit we went through as kids together it would be nice to catch up after so long,  boy i was wrong.  he flat out told me to go fucking die that he wants to never see me or any of the other guys we grew up with.  that true friends wouldnt have done shit like that.  And when i asked him shit like what? He said Take my keys and leave me at the party passed out in my car.  My response was simple,  I'm sorry you never got over the fact that your friends who cared about you took your keys potentially saving you from killing yourself or others behind the wheel of a car.  I wished him the best and walked away.

i personally cannot belive this.  i dont have it in me to hate anyone ( well fuck with my kids and i may not get you at first but i'll hold onto that shit for life and eventually i promise) i dislike people, everyone does, but i cant say that i wouldnt atleast be able to have a conversation with someone i disliked. It would be short and i would not start the convo but if someone came to me i would be cordial, but this guys Hates us. Someone we had life changing events in our teens years, the type of stuff that binds you as friends for life.  Stuff that i can look at now and say " how the fuck am i Alive?"and over somthing so silly as i got picked on for passing out in my car, he holds a grudge to this day.

People, Dont sweat the small shit, it isnt worth it and life is way to short.  if you dont laugh and smile everyday, you are doing something wrong IMO
