i was betrayed severely recently....and though i would have figured it would, i have emerged triumphant in my quest to become a great person...and anger has not overcome me. Instead i feel sorry for this person...and i feel very glad to be who i am... also this incident combined with a recent viewing of my highschool yearbooks have inspired in me a distinct feeling. Chris Schreck has been the most flawless friend i have ever encountered. For those of you who know this man...feel both lucky and grateful. He really is amazing. Though many will tell you, and i not the least of them, that i have labored greatly in my life to become a thoroughly kick ass person, countless hours of thought and consideration go into every facet of my personality, morality, and spirituality, i pale as a person and friend in the shadow of chris schreck's greatness. Chris Schreck was the first friend i ever made, though not the friend ive had the longest, still the first that i made. in junior high we met, and he hasnt set a foot outside of perfect friendship protocol, he calls when he says he will, shows up when he is supposed to, and always says the absolute funniest thing i hear in any day that i see him. Now this doesnt begin to describe the sprawling vastness of his positive attributes, but i will try. An artist beyond compare, be it music, visual arts, poetry written on picnic benches, or any other form of literate art, he excels with what appears to be the greatest of ease. and easy though it is to him, easily won it is not...hours of diligent practice in every medium supplemented by a healthy portion of talent and (though you couldnt pay him to say it, i certainly will) a great deal of genius. He has been my inspiration in truth, my friend in life, and my competition in my own head...this is one man no one should ever feel ashamed to lose to. It is in times of lost friends, that you see more clearly those you have that never have strayed. I tell you christopher d. shreck is the epitome of friendship. loyalty beyond compare, patience without end, hilarity unbounded, and love unconditional...these are the things that chris schreck has shown me for the past 9 years. so to "John Lennon" though you were certainly not the cause of this outpouring of emotion and nostalgia, i would advise you next time to pick a man like me, who actually posseses flaws, and just leave Chris Schreck the fuck alone.....mother fucker
