Brotherhood

I watched Green Street Hooligans for the second time in my life tonight.  It may be the pumping testosterone (it's a badass movie) but it got me thinking about fights and sports, but most of all, about the brotherhood, the unconditional "I got your back" mentality that these guys live by.  Don't get me wrong, I would do anything for my friends, especially my brothers, but I'm not sure even we have a bond this tight.  The guys in Hooligans literally die for each other, without question, and again, I'd like to say that for me and my brothers too, but I can't know for sure until I'm in that situation.  These guys know that they're going out and putting their life on the line every match and, often, more often than that.

Where is that brotherhood today??  Obviously, it's not with the women of our society.  No offense ladies, but with all the backstabbing and bitching most of you do, even with your best friends...well, that's not exactly risking your life for each other unconditionally.  It's not with us guys though, either.  Like I said, love my friends to death, but we don't seem to have the same connection.  Maybe it's the distance, maybe it's differing plans pulling us apart slightly, maybe it's jealousy between us, maybe it's just me taking it for granted because these guys have been behind me for so long.

Whatever it is, guys, I'm calling for a true guys' night.  I want a night where we get our LITTLE clan together (not everyone and their brother for this night), watch Hooligans, Boondock Saints, or both, maybe while drinkin' a few brews, then actually go out and DO something.  Let's get in a fight and beat the shit out of those guys we always hated, let's go joyriding or wander somewhere and make asses of ourselves.  Let's do something besides sitting around with our heads up our asses, playing video games.  Let's go pick up some women and have a good time (harmless flirting, simmer down Misses Palagi and Young), let's DO SOMETHING.  I love you guys like my brothers.  There's nothing wrong with what we have now, but why not strengthen the bond?

Changes in Sight

Sun shining
Wind at my back
Nothing able to take me aback
Facing the day
Smirk on my face
Skip in my step
Life is blank without some pep
Then something happens
Can't really say what
All of a sudden
My mood has been cut
I frown at a smile
Grunt at a "Hi"
Now wishing life would just
Pass
Me

Silence

Like nothing else is
the Silence
between two People who
are on their way
to fail a Test.
