Yes, this blog is a day late, but it is no less important. Yesterday a great American hero celebrated his 23rd birthday. A man who, at the age of 19, had already earned the reputation of “old balls” and “fun hater” is now one year older. It’s hard to describe such a complicated individual but I’ll give it a try.
First and foremost I think most people would call Tim an “ass hole.” This label is not fully accurate. Sure Tim hate’s most people, and sure he can’t stand being in a romantic relationship for more than four days, and yeah he’ll give the cold shoulder to a girl who is infatuated with him, pretending like he doesn’t even know her, but… Ok so maybe he’s an ass hole, but with good reason.
Tim has been involved with more crazy people in 23 years than most of us will encounter in our entire life. Girls escape from the Mental Health Hospital in Independence just to show up at his door step the next day. Some of the most cunning and scandalous girls I’ve ever met have used their wily tactics on him only to leave him in a suicidal stupor for months on end.
The thing about Tim is that he bounces back. Most people would seek professional help after an entire winter break spent sleeping all day, going on long dark night runs, and coming down with frost bite, but all it took Tim to shake himself out of his depression was a swift wall punch and one famous quote, “F*** this I’ve got B****es I can get on!” And so he did, of course they all ended up being crazy too, but he was used to it by then.
Some of the best dates I’ve ever had, have been with Tim. I consider him a heterosexual life partner. Whether we’re going to SoHo to practice ordering sushi so we can take a real girl there someday and impress them with our “worldliness” or just staying in and watching a Matthew McConaughey romantic-comedy, it’s always time well spent.
Tim is a guy who lives by his own rules. For instance, this year he decided to swear off girls and focus entirely on track and school. Odds are he’ll end up in a couple week long affairs, study minimally, and come down with some kind of chronic illness that keeps him from running. But really I hope the best for him this year. He’s a great friend and des
erves to come out on top.
Happy Birthday
