They do like me
So my birthday is over. The crazy 21st was, in true Anthony Smith form, not crazy at all. I had band practice to get ready for our show in Peoria today and then I hung out with the elusive Ryan Hansen until Hayley came home with my Get Fuzzy book and then we headed to the kind Mr. Adam Kotsko's house.
We all sat around drinking apple cider and eating cheap Aldi's pizza talking intellectual bullshit and it felt really good. Later on Jessie Bridges, the sometimes contributor to the comments section and constant good times fellow appeared, followed closely by my good friend Paul Anderson (who has one of the best beards I have ever seen). It was a nice masculine night, the only thing missing was football but I hate football so I didn’t mind. It really lifted my spirit and hopefully I will be able to come out of this nearly 8-month depression after this night and the coming weekend that will be filled with even more good friends.
We really do need each other. At least I need other people.
I find it very interesting that for all his disdain of God and those who "follow" God Nietzsche had a faith just as absurd; faith in other human beings. It's moments like tonight that are our little glimpses of the coming kingdom of Christ or the Overman, whoever we just need a savior.
I hope Robb and Adam post soon, my babble is getting hard to handle.
